Rossie House Fire
Rossie, IA (KICD)–A four alarm blaze totalled a home west of Rossie on Wednesday.
Royal Fire Chief Matt Goyette tells KICD News that his crew and Webb Firefighters were paged to 1944 440th street on Wednesday morning and arrived to find smoke showing from the roof on the north side of the building. Sioux Rapids and Peterson Fire were called on scene for mutual aid and entry was made. Crews tried to knock down the fire, but the fire had already spread into the attic. Due to the structure type, and vaulted ceilings they vented the roof to try to extinguish the fire, By this time the fire had spread to the entire attic area.
No injures were reported.
The house appears to be a complete loss.

yeah, she's pretty…she also has an excellent plastic surgeon.
anyone else besides me see the "before" pics? she was by no means UGLY, but she was not nearly as pretty as she is now.
well, if she has had plastic surgery, it is an example of "good" plastic surgery, because her face still retains its distinctness. although some say she looks harsh and manly, i think she's gorgeous. her face still has personality, and it still looks like her (too bad for Jenn Grey that you can't "take it back").
Jepp, she had a way bigger nose and smaller boobs. That's her secret of beauty.
she is so ugly. I'm sorry but i just dont see what you guys are talking about. And she looks cross eyed in that close up picture which i also dont consider hot.
She's got a big nose and a really abnormally long torso. She's boring looking.
People that emulate her are lame….especially Canadian girls that are attention-seeking twits. I heard Vancouver has a lot of them.
Sugarsmacks, don't make me laugh.
Canadian girls trying to "emulate" Gisele Bundchen? What does that mean? How do you emulate a "big nose" and "long torso". And you "heard" that these emulators are especially prevalent in Vancouver. lmao. As for fashion, she's not known for any distinct look to copy.
I've always wondered why a woman with a German name ended up in Brazil. I wonder what her family history is.
Many WW2 refugees ended up in Brazil and Argentina after the war. Hence alot of people in those countries have German/Itallian last names.
Also, what are all of you people complaining about??? Envious of her? Mad you can't have her??? She's gorgeous!!! What you wouln't give for one night with her!!
i would let her take a dump on me….just to watch
She wishes she looked like Adriana Lima.
You people are all retarded. She looks as she's always looked, and she's gorgeous.
Nazi Hunter, do you know anything about Brazil? You should maybe read a little more world history.
to "sensible"…
I suggest you take a look at her pics on http://www.goodplasticsurgery.com.
because she most certainly does NOT look the way she's always looked. her nose was done, and she got implants.
again, this is not to say she was ugly before the surgery, just that she's much prettier now.

Barça Regal won their opening Euroleague fixture at Olimpija Ljubljana, a game they controlled from start to finish. Huertas (17 points) and Mickeal (15 points) led the scoring
Match Stats
Olimpia Liubliana (19+11+21+13):Capin (2), Salin (-), Green (17), Varda (16), Markota (5) – starting five - Rothbart (4), Blazic (4), Thompson (9), Woodside (5), Muric (2), Bertans (-), Morina (-)
FC Barcelona Regal (24+17+20+15): Huertas (17), Navarro (9), Perovic (6), Lorbek (7), Eidson (6) - starting five - Sada (-), Vázquez (10), Wallace (4), Ingles (6), Ndong (6), Rabaseda (-), Mickeal (15)
Referees: Rocha (FRA), Sahin (ITA), Nuran (TUR)
Barça Regal has passed the first test on the road to Istanbul, venue of the Final Four this year. There's a long way to go, but with wins on the road like this one at Ljubljana, the omens are good.
Strong defence
Up against names like Ratko Varda and Danny Green, Barça Regal were going to need to produce their very best basketball to get off to a winning start on their European campaign. Pascual opted for defensive strength, and Marcelinho Huertas and Boniface Ndong both showed they knew what was required, supported by Lorbek, returning to his home country. Saso Filipovski was already calling for a timeout at 2-9.
Not that the Slovenians got any more dangerous after that. Navarro banged home two straight threes and Huertas made it 15-24 at the end of the first period. Barça Regal were in control, but Olimpija didn't slack, but even as they gained confidence, the sheer perfection of the Barça machine was too much for them. It was not long before the Catalans were leading by eleven (30-41).
Marcelinho shines and Pete Mickeal back
The second half brought more of the same. Marcelinho and Lorbek started with a 0-4, although Olimpija were able to match that fairly rapidly. Pscual quickly called a timeout and two more triples from Eidson and Navarro and a fine recital from the Huertas-Vázquez partnership saw them extend their lead.
But Olimpija still felt they had a chance and did all they could in the final period. That was when Pete Mickeal really burst into action, scoring 10 of his 15 points in the final ten, a mark that was only beaten by a brilliant Huertas (17 points, five rebounds and eight assists for an evaluation of 27).

Does Neil MacBride's rising media profile suggest he's being groomed for a higher position?
The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia suddenly seems to be everywhere. He appeared at a recent American Bar Association panel to discuss enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act - even though U.S. Attorneys by policy leave that work to Main Justice . In October, he represented the Justice Department at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce panel discussing corporate prosecutions.
With a slew of interesting cases in his district outside Washington, D.C., he's also garnered significant media attention from local and national outlets in recent weeks. "He must be going somewhere," an unnamed law enforcement official in Norfolk, Va., told the Virginian-Pilot newspaper.
The Eastern Virginia district has had high-profile cyber crime and international terrorism cases, including the 2010 conviction of Somali pirates who attacked a U.S. Navy frigate. MacBride told the Virginian-Pilot last week that the shift in focus is merely a reflection of the globalization occurring among crime networks. "Businessmen don't recognize borders anymore," he said, "and neither do criminals."
"In the last few years, we have made a shift to identifying emerging threats, whether it's human trafficking or copyright or Internet jihadis or trademark threat, and building cases where the bad guys, or the alleged bad guys, may sit outside our district or even outside our country," MacBride told the newspaper. "What makes us unique is we're prosecuting cases with a seemingly local crime that ultimately, as we peel back the onion, we find roots outside our district and outside our country."
MacBride took the helm of the Alexandria, Va.-based office in 2009 after a quick Senate confirmation. He had been serving as an Associate Deputy Attorney General when the president nominated him for the position. He'd earlier been general counsel and vice president of the Business Software Alliance, a trade association backed by Microsoft Corp. and other tech companies, working on global copyright enforcement.
The Oneonta, N.Y., native attended Houghton College in Buffalo, N.Y., and the University of Virginia School of Law. After graduating from Houghton, he became a field organizer for current Vice President Joe Biden's 1987 bid for president. He later became the Democrat's chief counsel from 2001 to 2005. He also later served as an Assistant U.S. attorney in the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office.
The 47-year-old lives in Arlington, Va., with his wife and three children, the newspaper said.
U.S. District Judge Henry Coke Morgan, Jr., in the Eastern District of Virginia, said his former law clerk is someone to watch out for.
"He's the kind of guy who has the whole package," Morgan told the newspaper. "He's a good husband and father and a good friend. He was very intelligent and conscientious as a law clerk. He was the kind of person you wanted to keep up with."

Archaeocidaris sp.; Delocrinus sp.
Lived around 300 million years ago
Found at the Lake Brownwood spillway, Brown County, Texas
This rare fossil slab is overflowing with sea urchin specimens. Even the spines are preserved, because the mud around them was not disturbed after death. We do not know how these animals died, although it was probably not due to force. Changes in temperature or salinity of the ocean water could have caused their death.
By studying the animals here and how they are grouped together, scientists can learn about all modern day sea urchins. The slab shows that sea urchins were already aggregating, or living in groups, around 300 million years ago. Today sea urchins group together to feed and to breed.
Look closely and you'll also see a ring shape with flattened plates beside a long, thin stalk. The stalked sea lily Delocrinus was very common during the Paleozoic but now lives only in ocean water more than 100 meters (328 feet) deep.
The sea urchins and sea lily are on permanent exhibit in the Hall of Geology and Paleontology.

"Lately we've been having a lot of people coming from Honduras and El Salvador," said Ledesma. "They usually come and ask for aslyum or although sometimes they don't even know they can get asylum until I talk to the family."
Obama's administration calls this a humanitarian problem, as does Ledesma.
"The country wants to do what's right, but do we have the right resources?" said Ledesma.
There has been a new trend of undocumented youth and mothers entering the border, mostly from Central American countries.
Ledesma said, if a relative or friend is found crossing the border the best advice is to be honest to ICE officials.
"Being honest will help the process," she said. "The first thing to do is contact an immigration lawyer."
Neugebauer said, "I saw firsthand the real-world humanitarian crisis that President Obama's policies have created. During my tour at Lackland, I was shocked to see thousands of unaccompanied minors at one facility."
Neugebauer also said, "The president's policies are only encouraging more lawlessness and incentivizing others to make the difficult journey."

The village possesses an excellent primary school, a thriving Post Office/General Stores and a pub, "The Bricklayers Arms." On the Brixworth Road is a well-used playing field. The Village Hall is the hub for a variety of activities. On the outskirts of the village there are a Conference Centre, 'Highgate House' (a former 17th century coaching inn) and a few small businesses which provide employment for local people.

International Forum of Wealth Sovereign Funds demands to keep free flow of capital and investments
Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The 1st International Forum of Wealth Sovereign Funds held in Baku on 8-9 October there became clear reasons of IFWSF establishment – an attempt to prevent on-growing movement in the United States for more prudence and control over such organizations and their investments. In any case that follows from principles of the Baku Statement passed by the Forum.
At today's news conference following the Forum, event's chairman David Murrey said that at the conclusion of the meeting the Forum adopted the Baku Statement on its commitment to continue to contribute to a stable global financial system and maintain free flow of capital and investment.
"The statement adopted read: We welcome the international efforts aimed at maintaining supportive fiscal, monetary, and financial sector policies until a durable recovery is secured; completion of financial sector and regulatory reforms without delay and avoidance of protectionism in all its forms," Mr. Murrey said.
To support this global commitment and to live up to its objectives, the IFSWF agrees to: encourage recipient countries to continue making their investment regimes more transparent and nondiscriminatory, avoid protectionism, and foster a constructive and mutually beneficial investment environment; continue to assess the application of the Santiago Principles; continue to place emphasis on adequate operational controls, risk management and accountability; and encourage capacity building among IFSWF members.
The second IFSWF forum is scheduled for 2010 in Australia. The first forum involved reps and heads of sovereign funds of about 20 countries.
These organizations run assets for totally $3 trillion and $2.1 trillion of them falls on the share of the Persian Gulf countries.
The decision to establish the Forum was made at the meeting of the International Working Group of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IWG) in Kuwait on 5-6 April 2009.
SOFAZ was established in 1999 and today its assets exceed $12.187 billion.

3.4.4 Extent of text
[MAJOR ISSUE] Since there are so many exceptions for early printed resources, it would be better to group these together in a section devoted to exceptions for early printed resources. Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
Perhaps we speak from a "print bias", but the instructions for "text" seem to be pretty far into the chapter. It appears that the Media types are being put in alphabetical order; is that a firmly settled principle? While this probably will not be much of a problem for users of the online RDA, we wonder if it may be more of an issue for users of the print RDA, who (we suspect) might have a higher proportion of text resources to work with. Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/21/07
Disagree with Randall; it's important for RDA to be less print-centric than AACR2. These rules need to be in some order; if no logical hierarchy exists, then alphabetical order is fine with me. Glennan 5/30/07
[MAJOR ISSUE]: We have this wonderfully principled and concise rule for recording extent at 18.104.22.168, coupled with the possibility of recording subunits at 220.127.116.11. Then we go and kludge the whole works up by replicating wholesale the old rules for books in 188.8.131.52-126.96.36.199. I suspect I would have similar criticisms of the other exceptions, but forebear commenting in the presence of experts in those areas. By and large though, they do at least seem to sustain the same level of granularity as the general rules at 18.104.22.168 and 220.127.116.11. For books however, we see this complete focus on the subunit. Much as it would be a break with the past (and I do have some discomfort with that), I think if the rules are going to be principled, then the formulation for recording extent of single volume resources ought to be 1 volume (iii, 123 p.). Under that treatment, I suspect many of the rules in 184.108.40.206-18.104.22.168 would devolve to minor clarifications or examples under 220.127.116.11. MYERS 5/21/2007
Dare I repeat the refrain at this late juncture, that a preliminary statement and examination of principles would have been a better expenditure of our time and efforts – to determine logical outcomes with less subsequent revision rather than wholesale redrafting of the product? MYERS 5/21/2007
126.96.36.199 Application
[Clarity] Statement of Problem: These two rules (188.8.131.52.3 and 126.96.36.199.4) are confusing. Both apply to microform reproductions of text but seem to contradict each other. Solution: Consider reversing the order of these two rules or rewording to clarity the seeming contradiction. Knop for Schwartz, ATLA, 5/18/2007
Since the instructions in this rule logically follow the instructions in 220.127.116.11.4, the order of the two rules should be switched. Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/21/07
[CONSISTENCY/CLARITY] It is not clear what this rule is saying. It reads as if it could be allowing an alternative of recording the extent of the original, which would contradict 18.104.22.168. Please state the intention clearly (whatever it is), and provide an example. Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/21/07
[Clarity] Statement of Problem: These two rules (22.214.171.124.3 and 18.104.22.168.4) are confusing. Both apply to microform reproductions of text but seem to contradict each other. Solution: Consider reversing the order of these two rules or rewording to clarity the seeming contradiction. Knop for Schwartz, ATLA, 5/18/2007
This rule seems to contradict what it just said in 22.214.171.124.3, "Apply the instructions given under 18.104.22.168-18.104.22.168, if desired, as an alternative means of specifying the number of subunits in a resource of any carrier type in which text is presented in a format that parallels that of a printed or manuscript volume(s) ... (e.g., a microform reproduction of an atlas, a digital text in PDF)." Is this rule saying that for a microform record the extent as x microfilm reels (126.96.36.199.1), but as an alternative, you could give the extent as x volumes if it's a microfilm reproduction of a text serial (18.104.22.168.3)? If that is correct, it might be clearer to have the rule in 18.104.22.168.4 precede the alternative in 184.108.40.206.3. Or is it saying that you could record the extent of a microfilm reproduction as 3 reels (6 volumes)? Clarification would be helpful. References to 188.8.131.52 and from 18.104.22.168 to 3.4.4.04 would be helpful--pvf for CONSER 5/18/07
[CONSISTENCY/CLARITY] Depending on how one reads the preceding rule (126.96.36.199.3), this rule seems to contradict it. Please clarify. Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/21/07
188.8.131.52 Single volume
[EXAMPLE] There is an inconsistent usage of pages and leaves. [CLARITY] We believe that a-e should be deleted and that definitions of pages, leaves, and columns should be added to the glossary. If a-e is to remain, we recommend adding "total" to e) so that it reads, "Record either the total number of leaves or the total number of pages, but not both." Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
=220.127.116.11.1a and b
This formulation, brought forward from AACR2, leads to misleading and unnecessarily convoluted extent statements such as that seen in the first example of 22.214.171.124.2. The formulation should be the same as that of the early printed resources formulation, e.g., "if the volume is numbered in terms of pages ... record the number of pages" "if the volume is numbered in terms of leaves ... record the number of leaves." It shouldn't matter if the sheets are printed on both sides or not--what matters is how the sheets are numbered. See the result of the current wording in the bizarre example at 18.104.22.168.2. Bob Maxwell 5/22/07.
CONSISTENCY: In 220.127.116.11.1e, "columns" is missing from the list. However, instructions to use "columns" in this type of situation appear in both 18.104.22.168.1 and 126.96.36.199.1. Glennan 5/18/07
[Clarity] In "e," if the item is unnumbered in its pages, leaves, or columns, shouldn't the numbering be in square brackets, i.e. [96] p.? Knop for Fieg, ATLA, 5/18/2007
"If the volume consists of leaves, pages or columns without numbering, record either the number of leaves or the number of pages, but not both." Why? LARSGAARD/MAGERT 5/20/07
The continued use of "printed" is still confusing since it implies that the resource was produced using a printing process. Shouldn't this be "early textual resources" or better yet, "early resources", since it could also apply to atlases and scores? MANGAN 5/7/07 Prefer "Early resources." RAPOPORT/MAGERT 5/18/07 Or if this isn't to apply to manuscript items, make reference to where those rules are. MOORE/MAGERT 5/19/07
[QUESTION] There needs to be a definition of "early printed resource", either at the beginning of the section on text or in the glossary. What is the cutoff date at which a resource is no longer considered "early"? This may be common knowledge to catalogers who specialize in such material, but may not be clear to novice catalogers or ones who catalog such material infrequently, who may still need to know when it is appropriate to apply the special rules for this type of resource. de Groat for OLAC, 5/16/07
[CLARITY] Would like to see guidance added to "account for every leaf in the volume as issued by the publisher, including leaves of text, leaves of plates, and blank leaves, but excluding leaves added as part of the binding and the binding itself" as in DCRM(B) 5B1.1. It would alert catalogers who are possibly unfamiliar with early books that leaves might have been added by the binder and, if so (and if discernable), these shouldn't be included in the statement of extent as blank leaves. -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/21/07
[EXAMPLES] Would like to see example(s) added. -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/21/07
[CONSISTENCY] We reiterate our recommendation that text not be an exception to the rules in 3.4 for recording extent, modifying these examples to: 1 volume (327 pages), etc. Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
Rather than referring to an exception for complicated or irregular paging in 220.127.116.11, we recommend the instruction in 188.8.131.52 be moved before 188.8.131.52. This would help the chapter progress more logically. Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
126.96.36.199 Unnumbered pages, leaves, or columns
Eliminate the use of square brackets in numbering sequences. Solution and Reason: For clarity and consistency as the use of square brackets is not universally understood by users, rather than enclose the number of pages in square brackets, write out: 93 unnumbered pages. Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
The use of "printed" should be dropped. MANGAN 5/7/07
[EXAMPLES] Would like to see example(s). -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/21/07
Eliminate the use of square brackets in numbering sequences. Solution and Reason: For clarity and consistency as the use of square brackets is not universally understood by users, in the first example, rather than enclose the unnumbered leaves in the sequence in square brackets, write out: 33 numbered, 31 unnumbered leaves. In the last example, again eliminate the square brackets and write out: 8 unnumbered, 155 numbered pages. This means that when there are both numbered and unnumbered pages, it will be necessary to spell out which pages are numbered and which are unnumbered. Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
I have a personal preference for the current AACR2 practice over what Leigh suggests. I do agree that if we started using "unnumbered" in this situation, then we would also logically need to used "numbered" in this construction. However, for consistency, wouldn't we then need to always use at least one of these terms in an extent statement, rather than having "numbered" implied? Would the logical extension of Leigh's proposal make the 2nd example here "8 numbered, vii numbered, approximately 300 unnumbered, 73 numbered pages"? If so, that's rather awkward -- and it's certainly more difficult to scan. Glennan 5/30/07
Continued requirement that a single leaf of plates have the number 1 in brackets. Solution and Reason: Make this an exception to the rule requiring that the count of unnumbered pages be bracketed. It is an absurdity to bracket the number 1 as virtually no publisher or printer ever has numbered the only instance of a plate (or, for that matter, a single sided sheet). To insist upon the brackets merely adds work and does nothing to make the description clearer to the user. Nancy Birkrem, Chapin Library, Williams College 5/10/2007
That's a fairly broad generalization about publishers & printers numbering practices -- remember that the pagination rules apply to non-textual materials (like scores) too. I've cataloged plenty of single sheet or single leaf music publications, some of which have page numbering, and some of which don't. Glennan 5/30/07
Would prefer to have this rule be optional. -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/21/07
The use of "printed" should be dropped. MANGAN 5/7/07
Eliminate the use of square brackets in numbering sequences. Solution and Reason: For clarity and consistency as the use of square brackets is not universally understood by users, record the example for the exception for early printed resources to record information about advertising as follows: 40 leaves, 8 unnumbered pages Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
[CLARITY] Modify the instruction so that advertisements are recorded only when they are clearly integral to the publication. Additionally, instruction might be given to record in a local note any advertisements not integral to the publication, if considered important. -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/21/07
18.104.22.168 Change in form of numbering within a sequence
[EXAMPLES] Are the examples in 126.96.36.199.1 and 220.127.116.11.2 supposed to represent the same volume? If so, revision is needed in the 220.127.116.11.1 example's parenthetical explanation since p. 13 is supposed to be unnumbered. -Theroux/ACRL, 5/21/07
[Clarity] The opening sentence should be rephrased: If the form of numbering within a whole sequence. . . ." Knop for Fieg, ATLA, 5/18/2007
22.214.171.124 Misleading numbering
Retain the use of square brackets to correct a misleading numbering sequence (not a statement of problem, but a comment to clarify the use of square brackets for this situation). Solution and Reason: This is a situation where the use of square brackets to correct a misleading numbering is consistent with the practice of recording errors in titles, so my feeling is to enclose the correction in square brackets as indicated. Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
I realize that "48 [i.e. 96] pages" is just an example, but it is an example of a silly situation that is the result of the bad AACR2 rule brought over in 220.127.116.11.1--the numbering is "misleading" only because the numbering was given in terms of pages instead of leaves (because the sheets were printed on both sides but only numbered on one side). If the numbering had been given "48 leaves" the statement would have been perfectly clear and not misleading. Bob Maxwell 5/22/07
188.8.131.52 Incomplete item
[MAJOR ISSUE] Why is there a specific rule for text only (184.108.40.206) that allows adding the parenthetical (incomplete)? Texts are not the only type of material that can be incomplete in a particular collection, making it impossible to report the extent of a complete copy. Also, if it is possible to input condition information in parentheticals for texts, why not for other materials? Logically, this would be the place to put the following for moving images:
- colourized
- black and white (if the film was originally released in colour)
- full screen (if the film was originally released in wide screen)
- mono. (if the film was originally released in stereo. or quadraphonic)
Solution and Reason: Generalize this rule for all types of carriers which are issued or published in a damaged state or exist in a damaged state in a particular collection, making it impossible to give an accurate description. Martha M. Yee, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007; same comment submitted from Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive
Agree. Because RDA is here following AACR2 Chapter 2, the rule appears to apply only to the books format. However, other carriers complete in a single unit may still be incomplete, such as a videocassette which ends abruptly (presumably before copying was completed)--contrast with RDA 184.108.40.206.1. Add sections for other types of incomplete items. Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07
Agree. A common characteristic of moving images is their modification or abridgement, whether that is letterbox format to represent wide-screen on video, black and white (when the original motion picture was in colour), full-screen (when the original was released in wide-screen), etc., yet in this very brief section, the only resources covered are text-based. de Groat for OLAC, 5/16/07
Different angle on (incomplete): The addition of "(incomplete)" is not a satisfactory replacement for the "179+ p." formulation of AACR2. A description can be based on an item that is incomplete, yet be a "complete" description, e.g. a 20-page score lacking p. 5-8. "(Incomplete)" does not in itself convey the specific meaning posited by the rule. Scharff, MusLA, 5/21/07
Agree with Scharff. Glennan 5/30/07
[Editorial]: Change "volume" to "item" as in the following rule (184.108.40.206.2)? -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/20/07
[CONSISTENCY] Add "and the extent of the complete volume cannot be ascertained" as in 188.8.131.52.1? -Theroux/ACRL, 5/21/07
220.127.116.11 Pages, etc., numbered as part of a larger sequence
126.96.36.199 Complicated or irregular paging
[CONSISTENCY] Add ", etc." at end of 188.8.131.52 as in 188.8.131.52. - Theroux/ACRL, 5/21/07
I'm afraid I don't understand this comment -- do you mean use "pages, etc." instead of "pages, leaves, or columns"? If so, I would prefer the latter construction moving into 22.214.171.124 instead of the "pages, etc." construction moving into 188.8.131.52. In either case, however, I do think this would benefit from consistent terminology. Glennan 5/30/07
I just meant adding "etc." at the end of the title of 220.127.116.11. So, "Complicated or irregular paging" would become "Complicated or irregular paging, etc." and thus include complicated or irregular foliation/columnation. -Theroux/ACRL, 5/30/07
Method b) is not useful as it means that a user will need to add pages to determine extent. Solution and Reason: Simply record: 1000 pages in various pagings. As a user myself, I am more interested in the number of pages than in adding up the pages to learn that the volume is 1000 pages. Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
Agree. Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/30/07
Eliminate the use of square brackets in numbering sequences. Solution and Reason: For early printed resources it is necessary to record the form as presented, but since users do not necesarily understand the use of square brackets, it could be recorded as follows (again, eliminating the need for square brackets): 12 unnumbered, 74 numbered, 32 unnumbered leaves, 62 columns, 9 unnumbered pages. Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
[Editorial] Rephrase: Record the paging in the form and sequence presented. Knop for Fieg, ATLA, 5/18/2007
184.108.40.206 Leaves or pages of plates
Eliminate the use of square brackets in numbering sequences. Solution and Reason: Since users do not necessarily understand the use of square brackets, record the sequence of numbers as follows: xvi, 249 numbered pages, 12 unnumbered leaves of plates; etc. Andrea Leigh, UCLA Film & Television Archive 5/10/2007
We recommend an option not to record unnumbered plates unless they are important part of the resource (cf. LCRI 2.5B9). Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
[Clarity] In that very long paragraph, you forgot to mention that the instruction only applies if the plates are separate sequences apart from the numbering of the resource as a whole. If the plates are implicitly or explicitly part of the pagination of the resource as a whole, then the number of pages or leaves of plates is not noted in the physical description unless it is in #b of the 300 field: 4 photos. Or something like the latter. Knop for Fieg, ATLA, 5/18/2007
The rule does not mention using square brackets for the number of unnumbered plates; yet there are examples of such. Rule needs to address numbering of plates, or lack of numbering, and provide direction to use square brackets when recording the number of unnumbered plates. -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/20/07
[CLARIFICATION] I think this instruction would also apply if the plates were a mixture of numbered and unnumbered. Example: 230 p., [10] p. of plates, 6 leaves of plates. It is only if all of the plates are unnumbered that you pick one term (pages or leaves) to describe them. So, suggest: "For early printed resources, if the leaves and pages of plates are numbered, or a mixture of numbered and unnumbered, record each sequence ..." -Theroux/ACRL, 5/21/07
188.8.131.52 Folded leaves or pages
CONSISTENCY: Rephrase the instruction along the lines of 220.127.116.11a.1. This would clarify that this rule applies to multiple sheets/leaves and would specifically state not to use "folded" in the description for notated music. Glennan 5/18/07
22.214.171.124 Double leaves
EDITORIAL: The word "oriental" is misleading. An explanatory note should be provided in the record to indicate the special format. Change the text to read: If numbered pages, leaves, or columns are presented on a double leaf (e.g., books in the traditional East Asian format), record them as pages, leaves, or columns according to their numbering. If they are unnumbered, count each double leaf as two pages. An explanatory note should be provided for this kind of format. Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07
Change "traditional oriental format" to "traditional Asian format" or prefer DCRM(B) wording: "Count numbered double leaves (leaves with fold at either top or fore edge and bound at the inner margin) as pages or as leaves according to their numbering. Count unnumbered double leaves as pages (2 printed pages per double leaf) or as leaves (1 printed page per double leaf). Always indicate the presence of double leaves in a note." -Theroux/ACRL, on behalf of ACRL/RBMS/BSC, 5/20/07
[EDITORIAL] I agree with Suzuki and Theroux; "traditional oriental format" was previously identified as inappropriate for the international context for which RDA is being developed. MYERS 5/21/2007
18.104.22.168 Duplicated paging
[CONSISTENCY] Add ", etc." at end of 220.127.116.11 as in 22.214.171.124 and revise instruction to indicate can have duplicate foliation not just paging. -Theroux/ACRL, 5/21/07
Add "if considered important for identification and selection" to the end of the instruction about making an explanatory note. Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
18.104.22.168 Pages numbered in opposite directions
We would like to add the same note as in 18.104.22.168.1, i.e., "if considered important for identification and selection." Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
18.104.22.168 Single sheet
CLARITY. Is sheet the appropriate descriptor for a newspaper clipping? . de Groat for Janet Addison, NRMIG
[Examples]: The only way you can read 8 pages when a sheet is folded is if you fold the sheet twice and then cut open the top folds. If you do that, you no longer have a sheet. Suggest changing the example to "1 folded sheet (4 pages)". You can fold a sheet once and get 4 pages (that you can read without having to cut any folds). -Theroux/ACRL, 5/20/07
Is that the only way to create 8 pages out of one sheet that doesn't require cutting? What if it were an accordion-folded long rectangular sheet? However, I agree that the example should be changed to reflect the more "normal" situation Theroux describes. Glennan 5/30/07
But what about sheets folded to make pages that aren't necessarily designed to be read "when folded", such as some brochures or CD case inserts? I imagine that such is the case this rule is intended to cover, but it seems to miss the mark. Perhaps "If the sheet is designed to be folded into pages, ..." Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/30/07
[Clarity] We need an example here. Knop for Fieg, ATLA, 5/18/2007
The use of "printed" should be dropped. MANGAN 5/7/07
CLARITY: It is not clear whether this rule applies to Buddhist sutras which usually consist of a long sheet folded in accordion style and mounted with covers. Most modern editions of sutras are also in this format, not just early printed ones. The header might be too restrictive. If the rule is intended for Buddhist sutras as well, then change the wording to read: b) Printed resources with folded panels For a printed resource consisting of a single sheet folded into multiple panels (e.g., Buddhist sutras), include ... If not, provide instructions for Buddhist sutras and other similar type of materials. Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07
[Major Issue]: This rule, taken from DCRM(B), presents itself as the "early printed resources" exception to 220.127.116.11.2. But it shouldn't. 188.8.131.52.2 is for sheets intended to be read when *folded*. DCRM(B)'s approach to such sheets differs from RDA's approach: "For a normally imposed single-folded (i.e., 4-page) sheet, record the statement of extent in the same manner as for a volume. Apply this rule even if only one of the four pages is printed." The DCRM(B) rule (5B14.2) that has been adopted for 126.96.36.199.2b.1 is actually one of two rules meant to apply to sheets that are intended to be read *unfolded* (or a combination of both folded and unfolded). It represents the more complicated of the two DCRM(B) rules. The simpler DCRM(B) rule (5B14.1) for sheets intended to be read unfolded (whether issued folded or unfolded) produces descriptions such as "1 sheet (2 pages)". So, the problem here is twofold: 1) RDA has no instruction for recording subunits (pages) for single sheets intended to be read unfolded; and 2) the exception for early printed resources is not really an exception for 18.104.22.168.2b.1; it is a totally different situation; the exceptional practices for early printed materials are not well-represented. -Theroux/ACRL, 5/20/07
220.127.116.11 Single portfolio or case
CLARITY: Traditional East Asian style books often consist of one or more volumes housed in one case. The current practice is to record the number of volumes in the 300 field and the number of case in a 500 note. Will these rules be applied to this type of materials? If so, an explanation and example should be provided. If 184.108.40.206 should be applied instead, then indicate so. Determine whether this rule applies to traditional East Asian style books. If so, include instructions and an example, e.g., 1 case (4 volumes) Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07
CLARITY or MAIN ISSUE: It is less clear than in AACR2 distinction between a portfolio and case. No definition is provided of a portfolio or case in 126.96.36.199.1, 184.108.40.206.1, or the Glossary. There should be clear definition provided of a portfolio and case in 220.127.116.11.1, 188.8.131.52.1, and the Glossary. Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07
220.127.116.11 More than one volume
CLARITY/CONSISTENCY: I recommend a notated music exception clause here as well, referring to the the specific notated music rules. This is needed if RDA considers a score & part set to be multiple volumes, since they won't really be described that way. Glennan 5/18/07
Agree--this would also have a bearing on the issue raised with 188.8.131.52.2a.1 above. Scharff, MusLA 5/21/07
[CLARITY] We recommend adding "rather than the number of physical volumes" to the end of the instruction for clarification. We also recommend renaming A to "completed serials" since serials by definition are resources not yet complete and would be covered by the instruction in B. Kincy/MLA Liaison on behalf of NLM 5/16/07
CLARITY: Inconsistent with 184.108.40.206.2, "Do not record extent for a resource that is not yet complete (or if the total number of units issued is unknown.)" 188.8.131.52.2 refers to a resource which is known to be no longer issued, although the total number of units that have been issued is unknown; 18.104.22.168.1b.1 refers to a resource for which no publisher's projection is available. No change in text of 188.8.131.52.1b.1 is required, as long as the instructions in 188.8.131.52.2 are harmonized with it as follows: Do not record extent for a resource that is not yet complete (or if the total number of units issued or to be issued is unknown). Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07
Will this rule be included as a serials-related rule in a customized version for serials catalogers? If not, there needs to be a reference to it from 22.214.171.124.1a.1.--pvf for CONSER 5/18/07
[CLARITY] We would like assurance that this rule would be included in an online RDA view customized for Serials. The placement of the rules within 184.108.40.206, and the uncertainty of the future functionality of the online product, make this appear somewhat ambiguous. Randall, ALCTS/SS, 5/21/07
220.127.116.11 Continuously paged volumes
18.104.22.168 Individually paged volumes
126.96.36.199 More than one sheet
18.104.22.168 More than one portfolio or case
CLARITY: Traditional East Asian style books often consist of several volumes housed in several cases. The current practice is to record the number of volumes in the 300 field and the number of cases in a 500 note. Will these rules be applied to this type of materials? If so, an explanation and example should be provided. If 188.8.131.52 should be applied instead, then indicate so. Determine whether this rule applies to traditional East Asian style books. If so, include instructions and an example, e.g., 2 cases (8 volumes) Suzuki for CC:AAM Task Force on RDA 5/13/07

You have to hand it to Chinese bloggers – they are determined to get the truth out, no matter what.  OK, they are not facing the death sentence like their fellow counterparts in Iran but nevertheless, they still face prison for their opinions. At the very least, their work will be deleted by faceless humorless bureaucrats.
So the bloggers are trying out new methods to evade Chinese government censors – the latest one is they are using tools and software to write backwards.  Or write vertically instead of horizontally.  This is apparently confusing the censors because they now cannot automatically track "objectionable phrases†(aw my heart bleeds for them). One such "text flipping†tool is here.  Obviously the government will eventually find a way around it but the resourceful bloggers will probably have found another solution by then and will have moved on.
It's easy for us in the democratic west to take our freedom of speech for granted. We don't think twice about giving an opinion online and then hitting the "publish†button.  We don't have to fear the knock on the door or awkward questions being asked about our loyalty to the state.  We take our freedoms for granted because they've always been there.  But our fellow bloggers in China and Iran are not so lucky.  They have to look over their shoulder all the time and resort to text flipping tools, codes and guarded language to protect themselves and their family, while at the same time trying to break through all the officially sanctioned propaganda and get the real truth out to the world.
These are the unsung unrecognised heroes of the world.  It's time we should recognise them more.  Plus if Iran passes that idiotic and insane death sentence law, we should all as an international community collectively do something, short of invading the country.

The Ozarks
Sawmill is a history of logging in the Arkansas and Oklahoma Ouachita Mountains from 1900 to 1950, a penetrating study of the lumber industry, and a significant view of man's interaction with a major forest resource. (more )
"Sawmill may be his most important book. This detailed account of logging in the Arkansas and Oklahoma Ouachita Mountains during the first half of the 20th Century allows the reader to walk the vast uncut forests, hear the bite of the ax and the saw, and see the literal coming of age for the lumber industry in Arkansas, along with its subsequent passing."

of the Hills Country
Modern tourism in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and Arkansas is concentrated around the area's glistening man-made lakes, its fish-filled streams and rivers, and in the entertainment mecca of Branson. But recreational excursions into this part of the country began over one hundred years ago as urban midwesterners, many of them captivated by Harold Bell Wright's novel The Shepherd of the Hills, sought the outdoors for spiritual and physical regeneration.

SPRING HILL – A beaming Rick Scott kicked off a seven-day sweep of Florida leading up to Election Day assuring supporters in Pasco and Hernando counties of the Republican's victory over Democratic gubernatorial opponent Alex Sink and taking the high road over Sink's cell phone faux pas during last night's debate.
Scott's bus tour began with an unexpected boost – the "iCheat" scandal that cast a cloud over Sink's campaign. Sink broke the rules by taking an electronic message on a cell phone during a commercial break during the last of two live televised debates. Sink later fired the aide who sent her the message.
"I was shocked. I mean, I was shocked. You know the rules. You follow the rules," Scott said with a look of disbelief when questioned by reporters early Tuesday morning. "She knew the rules. If somebody came in and tried to show me an e-mail I'd have said look, those aren't the rules."
Sink took the message after hammering Scott for a lack of integrity evidenced by his former hospital chain's $1.7 billion fine for Medicare and Medicaid fraud.
Scott quickly used Sink's cell phone incident to strike back at his opponent for ducking questions about her own business transgressions, including a $1.65 million fine paid by her former bank for selling risky securities to investors, many of whom were seniors.
"It's pretty consistent. She knew the rules. She didn't have to read the e-mail. She did. That's what she does. She never takes responsibility personally for what she does…She just fires people," he said.
When asked if he would have fired his aide as Sink did, Scott didn't miss a beat.
"I wouldn't have read the e-mail," he said.
A pumped-up Scott was accompanied by his wife Ann, mother Esther, daughter Jordan Kandah, running-mate Jennifer Carroll and Grover Norquist, head of the national "Americans for Tax Reform" movement.
The entourage began the day at an 8:30 a.m. breakfast with about 100 supporters in New Port Richey at the Brew City Grill.
"We are going to win. And then the state will be open for business on Nov. 3rd. Or sometime late Nov. 2nd," Scott said.
At a second stop in Spring Hill, Scott reiterated his plan to bring jobs to Florida and stayed on his message of linking Sink to President Obama, drawing boos from another 100-plus audience at the Timber Pines Community Center.
"We are going to win. It's like a rock band out there," Scott said, referring to the tour bus that will be home for the next week.
Scott said he's "feeling great" and excited about the coming week.
"We're going to talk to individuals just like you because you know what? That's how you win elections," he said.

NVIDIA Scene Graph NVSG 3.2 SDK Incorporates SLI™ Technology, Tunes Performance and Includes Latest Cg 1.5 and Volume Rendering Features
For further information, contact:
Kelly Dove
NVIDIA Corporation
(512) 401-4514
SIGGRAPH 2006—BOSTON, MA—August 1, 2006— NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in programmable graphics processor technologies, today released the latest version of its NVIDIA Scene Graph Software Development Kit (NVSG SDK), allowing developers to optimize applications and exploit the latest professional graphics processing hardware. The NVIDIA NVSG 3.2 is widely used in a range of markets—from automotive styling and design to broadcast graphics and game development—and is available at no charge to developer partners of NVIDIA.
NVIDIA NVSG Version 3.2 offers several new features and performance improvements, including:
The NVSG SDK is an object-oriented programming library (C++) that simplifies and speeds the development of high-performance 3D applications. The library also provides a comprehensive set of classes developers can combine and extend to create fast, reliable graphics applications.
"The NVIDIA scene graph provides application developers with a software infrastructure to quickly create sophisticated and high-performance 3D graphics applications," said Jeff Brown, general manager, NVIDIA Professional Solutions Group. "This new version of NVSG is highly extensible, GPU-centric and shader aware; it is also operating system and graphics API independent, and offers cluster and multiprocessing/multi-threading support. The enhanced list of features in NVSG makes it an extremely robust, future-proof scene graph."
NVSG can be used to develop high-performance 3D applications for visual simulation, manufacturing, simulation-based design, scientific and medical visualization, broadcast video, architectural walkthroughs and computer-aided design. NVSG enables developers to make optimal use of the hardware performance and sophisticated feature set of NVIDIA Quadro® graphics. NVSG operates on top of the OpenGL® application programming interfaces (API) in either 32-or 64-bit Microsoft Windows or Linux operating system environments. NVSG is architected to allow for the integration of other rendering platforms such as Microsoft® DirectX®.
In addition to being API and operating system independent, NVSG takes advantage of higher-level shader interchange formats. It features optimized memory management for NVSG objects, can be applied to clusters when used in conjunction with a genlock-capable NVIDIA Quadro® FX graphics solution, and supports multithreading and multi-pass rendering. Open and easily extensible, NVSG allows developers to create their own interfaces to add a variety of import and export file formats.
NVSG 3.2 is available for download at www.developer.nvidia.com .

Hal Varian, Chief Economist for Google, Berkeley Professor, author of the awesome book Information Rules and amateur Sam Eagle impersonator, tears down a white paper by an SEM company that predicts that the deal Yahoo made to serve Google ads will cause a 22% increase in Yahoo PPC bid prices. Varian asserts that the defects in the paper's methodology make its conclusions about as legitimate as a $50 Rolex.
Whew, I'd hate to be those guys. The thought of going toe to toe with Varian is terrifying. But Professor Varian's critique of the study does nothing to address advertisers concerns that changing the bidding structure will impact the price of advertising on Yahoo keywords.
Ask Jeeves partnered with Google to serve ads on Teoma and other products back in 2002. They determined whether to display an Ask Jeeves ad or a Google ad by the $$$$ they'd receive. Expensive ad goes to the top. Makes sense. Professor Varian says that Yahoo has a "strong economic incentive" to serve their own ads rather than Google's; full share vs. partial share of profit. He also points out that Google and Yahoo won't be able to see one another's bid prices.
But neither company has detailed how their ad services will be integrated. Advertisers make higher bids for Google than Yahoo; it's not unreasonable to speculate that Google and Yahoo might adopt a bidding model that would result in advertisers driving up prices on Yahoo keywords. There has been no information on the workings of the bidding system that demonstrates that this won't occur.
Here's Google's press release about the agreement to provide ads for Yahoo. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/our-agreement-to-provide-ad-technology.html

Getting ready to purchase a budget folder and am concerned about size. I'm 6-2 and 210 with long arms and have test ridden the Dahon Boardwalk and a Mariner. They both felt a little small in the cockpit area so would appreciate any suggestions as to which bike has a little more top tube length.
Citizen, Downtube, Schwinn, and various others listed on eBay? I would also prefer it have 20" tires, rear rack and fenders.
Many thanks!

Nation places 24th of 49 nations in international math and science exams, down five places from results in 2007
Yaheli Moran Zelikovich
Published: 12.08.08, 19:40 / Israel News
Yaheli Moran Zelikovich
The country came in 24th of 49 nations in the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) exams, five places lower than in 2007. In more specific science exams, Israel came in 25th – only two spots lower than last year.
The exams are administered by the IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Education Achievement), based on results from students ages 9 to 13. Some 4,300 students in Israel were tests.
Singapore scored first place in science exams, followed by Taiwan, Japan and then South Korea. Ghana placed last of among the nations tested. Although Israel did not score among the top nations, it did outpace Egypt, Kuwait and Iran.
Taiwan was the top scorer in mathematics exams, followed by South Korea, Singapore and then Hong-Kong, with Qatar coming in last. Israel scored higher than Lebanon, Jordan, Thailand and Indonesia, among others.
It should be noted that, while scores decreased during the tenure of current Education Minister Yuli Tamir, the opposite was true during the tenure of her predecessor, Limor Livnat. In 2003, Israel's scores rose to 19th place in mathematics and 23rd place in the sciences – both significant improvements compared to the five years prior to that.

You'll need just four ingredients to make the sweet crumb topping for Butter Crunch Pudding. "I got the idea from my sister. It's actually a pie crust recipe," Kathy relates. "Without time to fuss, I put the crumbs on top of a cooked or instant pudding. Everybody loves it."
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix or flavor of your choice
- 1. In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut and brown sugar; cut in butter until crumbly. Spread the crumb mixture on a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes, stirring once. Cool slightly.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a another large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set; chill for 5 minutes.

ATLANTA (AP) -- The Reverend Creflo Dollar, who is under investigation into alleged financial wrongdoing, says his megachurch took in $69 million last year.
Dollar says he released World Changers Church International's finances in response to the Senate investigation that targets him and five other well-known televangelists.
But he says his salary comes personal investments, including businesses and real estate ventures. He adds "Without a doubt, my life is not average. But I'd like to say, just because it is excessive doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong."
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, launched the investigation this week after he received tips about preachers who ride in Rolls Royces and have purportedly paid $30,000 for a conference table.
Grassley sent letters to the half-dozen Christian media ministries earlier this week requesting answers by December 6 about their expenses, including use of fancy cars and private jets.
Dollar says while he understands the senator's worries, he questioned the investigation's focus on religious groups.
And he maintains that he uses only his personal finances to pay for his luxuries, saying "My lifestyle does not come out of the church's bank account."

Prince Harry attended the first major marathon since the tragic bombings at this year's Boston Marathon early last week.
A seemingly relaxed Prince Harry presented awards to the wheelchair racers and mingled with spectators at today's Virgin London Marathon.
"It's fantastic, typically British," he told the BBC. "People are saying they haven't seen crowds like this for eight years around the route. It's remarkable to see."
He said it was "never an option" for him to cancel his appearance following the Boston bombings. He went on, "certainly everyone that was planning on coming is still here, no one's changed any plans – the volunteers, the security, everyone is here, nothing's changed. It was always going to be really well run and it always is, typically the British way the London marathon has been running for years."
He told the BBC: "The way that Boston has dealt with it has been absolutely remarkable. It's never going to get anyone down here, the great thing about the marathon is no matter what color you are, or religion, no matter what nationality you are, everyone comes together to run a certain distance to raise money for amazing causes."
On a lighter note Harry joked as to why his brother Prince William and wife Kate weren't running. "He's old and she's pregnant. "What's fantastic is that my brother and his wife will be doing it next year, I think. He's going to have to now, isn't he?"
Harry is always to quick witted. Lets hope they come through on this one.

Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
Healthy strawberry jam made with just three ingredients.
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2-3 Tbsp sugar, or other sweetener
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- In a small saucepan, bring the strawberries and sugar to a low boil and lightly mash the berries with either a spoon, fork or potato masher.
- Reduce to a simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add chia seeds and stir. Cook the jam down until it thickens - about 15 minutes - stirring frequently.
- Once the jam has thickened, remove from heat. Sample and adjust flavor, adding more sugar if you prefer a sweeter jam. Store in a jar or airtight container in the fridge and it should keep for at least a week.

ATLANTA - Florida A&M University President James Ammons announced Monday that the school's famed Marching 100 band will remain suspended through the 2012-2013 school year.
In a conference call Monday morning, Dr. Ammons told the Board of Trustees the band must be restructured before being allowed to perform, again.
The Marching 100 was suspended last November following the death of drum major and Decatur native Robert Champion. Champion's death was later ruled homicide; investigators found he was beaten to death during a hazing ritual.
The university is considering is the status of the 2012-13 football season. The world-renowned marching band is a draw for many game attendees, who often come specifically to watch the band.

Dr. Ammons said the university will work with sponsors for the Florida Classic and Atlanta Classic football games, two of the schools biggest events, to look at alternative halftime entertainment acts.
"This is not a decision we came to lightly," Dr. Ammons told the board.
Last week, long time director Dr. Julian White retired in the wake of the school's investigation into Champion's death. Eleven people are facing felony hazing charges in Champion's death.

Hey folks!
Just in case you've all been wondering where the hell I've been (and I'm so sure you have)... I had a tough week last week, dealing with some personal matters, which I won't go into here. And I'll be gradually getting back into the swing of things here on S&A this week.
HOWEVER, changes are on the immediate horizon. In short, I won't be around as much as I've been in the last 2 1/2 years this site has been around. It's been quite a ride, but it's also been rough carrying what's really quite load. I've got broad shoulders, but I'm not Superman. A brotha has his limits :)
Funny that I didn't realize just how much I needed time away until I actually took some time away from the site last week. It was refreshing and reinvigorating. I also had a lot of time to reflect on how far the site has come, where it's going (or at least could go), as well as reflect on my own personal (non-S&A related) ambitions.
It often takes tragedy to force one to cut through all the noise and clutter, and get to what's really important, and worthwhile.
But I'll still be around with the occasional post; so I won't be gone entirely. I'm just backing off a bit to focus on some grander ideas I have for the site, as well as for myself, which I've mostly neglected since S&A began in April 2009.
So, there ya have it!
The show will go on... just with less of me.
Good night and good luck :)
