Math Placement Exam
Who takes it?
All entering students who have not received transfer credit or Advanced Placement credit for the first calculus course, MATH-101, are required to take the Mathematics Placement (MP) Exam. This includes both new freshmen and new transfer students entering Kettering University.
The MP Exam is activated for new students after the $300 enrollment deposit to Kettering University is paid.
Why take it?
The placement examination has one goal: to place the student in the course which best matches the student's university major and mathematics skill level. Our experience shows that a student's score on the MP Exam is the most direct and effective indicator of the student's math skills. Be assured, your score on the MP Exam will not affect the status of your admission to Kettering University.
What about AP Credit?
We realize that students who take their AP Exams in the spring will not receive their exam score from the College Board until the end of June or early July. However, you should take the MP Exam anyway. Your AP Exam score will always take precedence over the MP Exam score.
The MP Examination is administered on-line, prior to the start of your 1st term at Kettering. The MP Exam may be taken at most, twice. If you neglect to take the MP Exam, and you do not have Calculus I credits, you will be placed into MATH-100 - College Mathematics.
Questions about the MP Exam may be directed to: Nancy Stock in the Mathematics Dept., email: firstname.lastname@example.com, or 800-955-4464 xt.7999, (810-762-7999)
Sample Examination:
We provide a sample examination which will give you an idea of the content and form of the questions contained in the MP Examination. To take the practice test, login to Kettering University's Blackboard system, using the user account provided to you by the Admissions office. The practice exam is located in the lower right corner of the Blackboard screen under "My Kettering Organizations".
Calculator Usage:
A calculator may not be used while taking the Math Placement Examination. The primary focus of the MP Examination is to assess algebraic and trigonometric manipulative skills and not on calculator or computer proficiency. The examination is structured so that successful completion of the exam will reflect how well a student has retained his or her algebra and trigonometry knowledge and skills.
Dishonesty regarding the MP Exam will result in your placement into a math course that you are unprepared for, and in which you are extremely unlikely to succeed. The last thing you should want to do is be placed into (and pay for) a course that you will most likely fail.
Retake Process:
Students whose placement scores do not match their expectations may retake the MP Exam online as a second try. We recommend that you wait at least a week before performing your second try. The better of the two scores will count as your placement score.
Instructions for taking the MP Exam
Login to Kettering University's Blackboard system for detailed instructions on how to take the exam.
Mathematics Courses
These are the courses into which a student will be enrolled based on the result of the MP Exam:
MATH-101 – Calculus I
- Students with higher scores on the MP Exam will be placed into this course.
- Students who pass this course will be prepared for MATH-102 the next term.
MATH-101X – Calculus I extra
- Students who score in the middle range and would benefit from extra study sessions are placed into this course.
- Students who pass this course will also be prepared for MATH-102 the next term.
MATH-100 – College Mathematics (Pre-Calculus)
- Students with lower scores on the MP Exam will be placed into this course.
- Students who pass this course will be prepared for MATH-101 the next term.
Options for students who place into MATH-100 College Mathematics
Students that place into MATH-100 College Mathematics have three options:
- Take the MP Exam a second time. The higher of the two scores will then determine mathematics course placement.
- Or simply accept the placement and start the Kettering math program in Math-100 College Mathematics.
- Or contact the Admissions Representative to sign up for Math-099 Calculus Preparation Essentials.
What is Math-099 Calculus Preparation Essentials?
MATH-099 is an online, web-based, five week math course offered to students that want to earn the opportunity to be enrolled into MATH-101X rather than MATH-100. The Five week course offers an intensive refresher on many aspects of pre-calculus mathematics. The Kettering University instructor will help the student to link these pre-calculus concepts to their application in Calculus. More information.
Examinations for credit above Calculus I
Kettering offers proficiency exams for students who feel they can demonstrate mathematics skills for MATH-101 and /or MATH-102. A student receiving a passing score on either of these exams will receive course credit and be enrolled in the next Calculus course. The Calculus Proficiency Exams are typically offered on Tuesday at 6 p.m. of the first week of the term. Contact the Kettering University Math Department for location details.
Honors Calculus II is available to those students who qualify. See Kettering University Math Department for details.

Letters, feedback, etc.
"Mailbag" Continued...
A fresh start
The people of New Orleans have been scattered ("Katrina: Week two," Sept. 17). Many people who have experienced mainly government dependence and social pathology have been transplanted into caring communities and are relying on the ministry of churches and faith-based organizations. Many are staying with families characterized by compassion, stability, a good work ethic, and faith. Is it part of God's grace in the midst of devastation to give these needy people a fresh start on life in every dimension?
-Karen O. LeBarr; Alpharetta, Ga.
What went wrong
Joel Belz nailed what went wrong in the aftermath of Katrina ("Unquenchable appetite," Sept. 17). Overconfidence in big government didn't cause the disaster, but it exacerbated it and is motivating the fury behind the finger pointing. Ordinary citizens, cops, firefighters, NGOs, and churches performed many heroic and generous deeds, but it seems we have lost the battle for the minds and hearts of Americans when the entire debate has gelled around the question, Did the government do enough?
-Scott Van Kirk; Seneca Falls, N.Y.
Kudos to Mr. Belz for identifying the world's frequent idolatry of government. Unfortunately, Christians often fall into the same trap by depending on government for sustenance, security, and solutions despite the warnings of Scripture and the lessons of history. In certain contexts, Christians can make a biblical case for using government as a tool, but we must be careful not to cross the line into idolatry.
-D. Eric Schansberg; New Albany, Ind.
The proper role of the federal government is not building or replacing houses. Jeff and I have not yet bought a home, yet our tax dollars will go to build real estate assets for others, and against our will. In a fair economy, we would give freely of our resources to help and we would have the choice to say, "No, we will not help you rebuild your house on the sand, six feet below sea level." Politics can't keep the next hurricane from washing away another $100 billion.
-Christina A. Moore; Norfolk, Va.
When I heard reporters in New Orleans say, "Never has anything like this been seen before," I thought of WORLD's articles on Sudan ("Spectator to genocide," April 2). Ignorance and self-centeredness raise the pain and suffering we bear for weeks above the agonies that much of the world bears for years, if not generations.
-Marlys Stepelbroek; North Tustin, Calif.
The real issue is that it was the government's job to have been prepared to respond and to have responded expeditiously. In this case, the problem is that this president did not have the vision to do his job as a steward of this country's vast resources.
-Warren Gladden; Allentown, Pa.
Alive today
John Piper said it well ("Who answers to whom?" Sept. 17). The fact that I was not destroyed by Katrina but am alive today is solely because of the mercy of God.
-Paul Tautges; Sheboygan, Wis.
A multitude
I agree with Marvin Olasky that most media have not brought due attention to the good coming from American people due to Hurricane Katrina ("American individuals," Sept. 17). I work for a small-town west Texas newspaper and have been disgusted with the media's concentration on the politics surrounding the disaster. I think if Miss Chinthaka of Sri Lanka took a walk down the streets of any town or community in this country she would find a multitude of folks willing to help.
-Kimberly Gray; Roscoe, Texas
Reviews reviewed
You didn't mention Sufjan Steven's well-documented relationship with Jesus in your review of his Illinoise album (Bestselling CDs, Sept. 17). He just sold out five nights in a row at the Bowery Ballroom in Manhattan despite references to his faith in his lyrics and even an album named A Son Came!
-Will Gilmore; New York, N.Y.
Andrew Coffin assumes one has to be a leftist to enjoy The Constant Gardener ("See movie review," Sept. 17). A heart for suffering people, appreciation of a plot meant to challenge immorality and injustice, and suspicion of the motives of those who may or may not be donating medicine for altruistic reasons are hardly qualifications for being left-wing. These things are also about all one would need to appreciate the film.
-Matthew Loftus; Bel Air, Md.
Proper restraint
"In safe hands" (Sept. 17) quotes a source who claims that the Free Exercise clause of our Constitution's First Amendment was "designed to be untidy," and characterizes some of Chief Justice William Rehnquist's opinions as part of an attempted "cleanup project." The Free Exercise clause is neither untidy nor complex. It says only that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion. Chief Justice Rehnquist should be applauded for his restraint in refusing to read something into the Constitution that is not there.
-David Franklin; Lineville, Ala.
Professing wisdom
"Faithful and true?" (Sept. 10) was very timely. My youngest is a freshman at a college that claims to be "intentionally Christian." She was soon telling us about her Bible professor who argued that the Bible was not to be taken literally and that it was historically and scientifically inaccurate and full of contradictions. When my daughter met with the professor in his office to discuss her beliefs, she was told that she had "blinders" on and that she had to think beyond the teachings of her "mommy." Fortunately, other students say that not all of the professors are like this one.
-Duane Wilmot; Lawrenceville, Ga.
The presidents of Christian colleges face a situation similar to that of many pastors. Some congregations and denominations persecute and dismiss pastors with a biblical worldview. Ministry leaders have to resist the temptation to fear men instead of honoring God and being true to His Word.
-Mie McCaffrey; Butte, Mont.
I am a junior in high school beginning to look at colleges. Even though my parents attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison, I am not looking at any major liberal colleges because of the issues raised in "Free to agree" (Sept. 10). I want to study where there is diversity of thought and freedom of expression is encouraged.
-Matthew Benjamin; Clinton Twp., Mich.
There are always strings once the government gets involved and homeschooling parents should resist any "help" our government is willing to offer ("Here come the strings," Sept. 3).
-Rachel Robbins; Round Rock, Texas

Bad Taping Job By Previous Owner!
The previous owner of our home did some sloppy painting and there is light blue and retro pink paint on much of our woodwork. How do I get it off without damaging the finish?
Please help!
Please help!
Tough call. A solvent strong enough to remove the paint would likely either remove the finish on the wood - or at least leave a dull spot.
Mr. Paint
A Scotch-Brite pad would have the same effect.
So...what to do?
If it were mine - I would go with the scotch-brite pad - and then just recoat it with an alkyd urethane. Easier, friendlier, cheaper, and less smelly than a solvent.
Mr. Paint
I would go with GOOF OFF and they have a water based version now that does have the fumes of the other. This should be a whole lot easier than sanding the paint off with a scotch brite pad and you may not have to apply another coat of urethane.
Let the goof off or goo gone sit on the finish to soak in to the paint. Ideally, it will weaken the paint but not harm the wood finish. Then gently use either an old credit card or (if the card doesn't work) a metal paint scraper to scrape it off: not a putty knife, but a scraper, sold in paint sections. You get a finer sense of control and stronger scraping ability with the scraper and a fresh scraper blade.

[UPDATE] THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, March 10, 2011 --
Responding to a simmering national debate over federal immigration policy, a House panel on Thursday passed its version of immigration reform that falls short of Arizona-style restrictions but would still have a dramatic impact on more than 800,000 workers "living in the shadows."
Approved by the House Judiciary Committee on a party line 12-6 vote, the Florida Immigration Enforcement Act increases penalties for immigrants unlawfully residing in the U.S. and the businesses that knowingly hire them.
The measure, sponsored by Rep. William Snyder, R-Stuart, requires business owners to take concrete efforts to determine the status of the workers they employ, a provision that has put bill supporters in direct conflict with powerful Florida business groups.
It also prohibits law enforcement officers from racial and ethnic profiling, a provision that critics say will be difficult to monitor and nearly impossible to enforce. Some studies estimate more than 800,000 people may be unlawfully residing in Florida and comprise more than 6 percent of the work force.
Snyder said the unwillingness of federal and state officials to address the issue has created a permanent underclass. Further, the look-the-other-way mentality of business groups is eerily reminiscent of another, unsavory period in the nation's past, he said.
"There was a period in American history, and I won't even call it out, where that was the fundamental argument for holding an entire race of people in bondage," Snyder said. "And the argument was it as economically impossible to go away from that system."
The measure would allow law enforcement officers to request immigration status on suspects of criminal investigations if there was a reasonable suspicion that they may be in the country illegally. Traffic stops and other more routine encounters with police would not trigger an immigration query.
The bill would require all employers by July 1, 2013 to vet employees through the federal government's E-Verify system, a computer database tracking the immigration status of millions. Employers with more than 100 workers would have to comply a year earlier.
While far softer than what some had envisioned as recently as last summer, when Snyder and former Attorney General Bill McCollum proposed legislation in the heat of McCollum's campaign in a Republican primary for governor, the bill still has opponents.
"My parents followed the rule of law. They came to this country legally," said Rep. John Julien, D-North Miami Beach. "I believe in the rule of law. But I do not think this bill solves the problem."
The measure, a proposed committee bill that has yet to receive a bill number, has become a lightning rod as Florida and other states wrestle with the complex issues that surround the topic.
The issue has made strange bedfellows as business and immigrant's rights groups' band together in an effort to stop the legislation from becoming law, but for different reasons.
On Thursday members of Associated Industries of Florida, the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Retail federation opposed the bill because it did not grant employers immunity for unknowingly hiring illegal workers.
Worker advocates said that immigrant laborers and their families have been drawn to this country by the need for their skills and they should not be blamed for a problem they did not create.
"In the midst of Florida's crisis, our legislators insist in scapegoating immigrants instead of finding real solutions to our problems," said María Rodriguez, Executive Director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition. "Attacking immigrants will cause great political theater but it won't create jobs or reduce Florida's unemployment and foreclosure rates, among the highest in the country."
In closing, Snyder said both groups are missing his point.
"The question boils down to this, Do we as a state, say, that we can acquiesce -- wink, wink, nod, nod? … It's against the law to be here but we need people to pick our tomatoes. I'm telling you, that turns my stomach when I hear that argument."
The proposal has two more committee stops before reaching the House floor.
Tallahassee, FL (AP) - Florida's House Judiciary Committee has approved an immigration bill requiring businesses in the state use the federal government's electronic verification program to check whether new employees are eligible to work in the U.S.
The bill presented Thursday combines into one proposal measures
from several previous bills. It requires all businesses use E-verify by 2013. Those that don't and employ illegal immigrants could see their Florida licenses revoked.
The bill would also make it a misdemeanor for illegal immigrants to be in Florida and would require local law enforcement agents check the immigration status of anyone arrested. It will likely be referred to other committees before heading to the House floor and then reconciliation with a Senate bill.

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Friday that it found no evidence current levels of arsenic in rice pose an immediate health risk.
The finding comes two months after the agency proposed new limits on arsenic in apple juice, after a public outcry caused the agency to look at the issue more closely.
The agency tested more than 1,300 types of rice and rice products, such as rice cakes and infant cereals, and it found the arsenic levels ranged from 3 to 7 micrograms a serving, amounts the agency said were not hazardous to human health in the short term.
Most rice contains much higher levels of arsenic than apple juice, said Keeve Nachman, who studies arsenic in food at the Center for a Livable Future at Johns Hopkins University, but because there is such a wide variety of products made with it and because it is present at such different levels, the analysis for rice is more complicated.

Most Read Stories
The study found the most arsenic in brown rice and the least in instant rice. Infant cereal and infant-rice formulas were also at the low end of the spectrum.
Rice is thought to have arsenic in higher levels than most other foods because it is grown in water on the ground, optimal conditions for the contaminant to be absorbed.
Arsenic is naturally present in water, air, food and soil in two forms, organic and inorganic. Organic arsenic passes through the body quickly and is essentially harmless. Inorganic arsenic — the type found in some pesticides and insecticides — can be toxic and may pose a cancer risk if consumed at high levels or over a long period.
The FDA is looking into how much organic and inorganic arsenic rice eaters are consuming and whether those levels are dangerous. The agency will conduct a risk assessment with the National Institutes of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency to further measure those effects.
Arsenic in the food supply was brought to the public's attention in 2011 by physician and TV personality Mehmet Oz, who said that levels in apple juice were too high.
In July, the FDA proposed a new limit for acceptable levels in apple juice, though it said it had conducted a broad study with many samples and had found apple juice to be safe.
A microgram is one-millionth of a gram, and an FDA spokeswoman said the levels found in the rice and rice-product samples were too low to cause harm in the short term, citing a toxicological profile for arsenic published by the federal government.
Experts applauded the agency's effort but said it was impossible to tell whether those levels would be dangerous in the long term without knowing patterns of consumption. Do people tend to consume many servings of rice and rice products a year, or only a few? How big is a typical serving?
The agency said its risk assessment would consider such questions.
Chobani identifies mold in yogurt
WASHINGTON — Yogurt maker Chobani said Friday that the mold that triggered a recall of some of its Greek yogurt cups this week is not associated with foodborne illnesses such as salmonella or E. coli.
The company identified the mold as Mucor circinelloides, a common species that usually affects fruits, vegetables and other plants. It also has been linked to previous cases of spoiled yogurt.
Cornell University Professor Randy Worobo said on a conference call arranged by Chobani that the mold "should not pose a health risk to most consumers." Worobo is a professor of food science at the university's college of agriculture.
Chobani spokeswoman Nicki Briggs said the company is still investigating how the yogurt became contaminated.
Chobani formally recalled more than a half-dozen yogurt varieties Thursday, a week after it started asking retailers to pull the products, saying some cups were "swelling and bloating." The products have the code 16-012 and expiration dates Sept. 11 to Oct. 7.
The company, based in New Berlin, N.Y., said the affected products came from its Idaho facility.
Material from The Associated Press is included in this report.

Yen sell-off continues despite lower US yields
In general we expect the JPY sell-off to continue. The move higher in USD/JPY on Friday and over night despite the disappointing US labour market report and the subsequent drop in US yields underlines that the yen-depreciation trend is very strong. Note that the latest IMM data show that speculative long USD/JPY positions were scaled back in the week ending 2 April, but remember that the data were collected before the ground-breaking BoJ meeting Wednesday morning. Hence, positioning is probably more stretched now.
Despite the soft rhetoric from Draghi last week and jitters around Portugal over the weekend EUR/USD is still able to trade just below 1.30. The support to the euro reflects in our view that 1) the market is (according the IMM data) already speculative short EUR/USD, 2) EUR rates are already very low, 3) the latest US data underline that Fed is in no hurry to exit its QE programme and 4) Apparently, the aggressive BoJ easing and drop in JGB yields have forced Japanese asset managers to buy 'high-yielding' European bonds. In fact, it seems that BoJ is doing the job of the ECB. We still like short JPY positions, but we consider lifting the P/L levels in our long MXN/JPY recommendation to lock-in some profit. Strong resistance for USD/JPY is seen at 98.90 and 99.80.
Over the weekend another five confirmed cases of bird-flu was reported so overall 21 cases have so far been reported. All the reported bird flu cases has been in Shanghai and the three surrounding provinces Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui. Hence, there are so far no signs that the bird-flu has spread beyond this area. A suspected case in Hong Kong reported on Friday proved negative. The conclusion also remains that this case of bird-flu cannot be transmitted human-to-human. In all the reported cases the transmissions of the flu appears to have happened by direct contact with living birds. Treatment appears to be possible with Tamilflu. At least for the moment it appears to be under control. The mainland stock market has today reopened after being closed for vacation on Thursday and Friday. So far there has only been a modest drop in the Chinese stock market with the Shanghai Composite down a modest 0.5% this morning.

Polling Consultants:
The Intelligence Service of the
Ballot Box Wars
Polling, claims Democratic pollster Alan Secrest, is best used to determine "where to employ a campaign's limited resources." 1 In contemporary campaigns, polling provides campaigns with feedback. However, unlike the feedback which we normally receive, that is, feedback provided through spontaneous responses to the messages we send, the feedback we receive from polling is planned. When planned and executed well, polling provides solid information upon which decisions affecting the entire campaign can be confidently made. For that reason, polling has become, in the words of Republican pollster Frank Luntz, "the indispensable ingredient in the modem political campaign." 2 It was not always so.
Although there is evidence of prior unpublished survey work done in the United States, the first published political poll in the United States appeared in the Harrisburg Pennsylvanian, in 1824. Based on a straw vote conducted in Wilmington, Delaware, "without discrimination of parties," the Pennsylvanian predicted Andrew Jackson would win the presidency over John Quincy Adams. Jackson did win the popular vote, such as that presumably surveyed in this poll, though as we saw in the preceding chapter, the election was thrown into the House of Representatives. 3 From 1824 onward, straw polls such as these were frequently commissioned and reported on by newspapers. 4 Similarly, often travelers were asked to register their presidential preferences when they registered at hotels. 5 Although they provided some insight into the "horse race"

The University of North Texas will take a giant leap forward this summer as we convert our legacy server and email systems from Novell to comparable Microsoft products. The most notable change will be the migration from Novell's GroupWise email to Microsoft's Exchange/Outlook. Other changes, like file and print services, will be mostly transparent to the end user.
Implementation Plan
To ensure a smooth transition, the CITC has engaged Dell Professional
Services (DPS) to consult us in the design and implementation of
Microsoft's Active Directory, Exchange email system and file and print
services. In addition, I have assembled two groups which represent areas
around the campus who will assist and participate in the smooth
implementation of these new systems.
Timeline for Moving to Microsoft
Though we have been preparing for this migration for quite some time, we
officially began February 26, 2007 when DPS came to UNT for their 15
week engagement. The CITC is dedicated to the successful migration and
will convert ourselves sometime in May. This will allow the
Implementation Team to gain the necessary experience and confidence to
begin the campus-wide roll out that will be completed during the summer.

All financial transactions are encapsulated by the "Process"-call. Available financial transactions are AUTH, VERIFY, SALE, CAPTURE, CREDIT and ANNUL.
The process call needs to be made at most 365 days (1 year) after the initial Register call for the transaction.
The operations have time restrictions that can vary from this:
Process (string merchantId, string token, ProcessRequest request) -> ProcessResponse
Merchant ID
REST: merchantId
WebServices: merchantId
Validation: Numeric
MaxLength: 8
The merchant ID is required for all calls made to Nets. It identifies you as a merchant. Test accounts may have a maximum length of 8 characters, while production accounts has a max length of 6 characters.
REST: token
WebServices: token
Validation: Reference
MaxLength: 32
The token is the shared secret between the merchant and Netaxept. It is used to authenticate the merchant, and is provided to you by Netaxept.
REST: operation
WebServices: ProcessRequest.Operation
Validation: Alpha
MaxLength: N/A
Which financial operation to run. Valid operations are:
Transaction ID
REST: transactionId
WebServices: TransactionId
The Transaction ID is a unique ID that is used to reference the transaction in our systems at any point. The Transaction ID needs to be unique for the merchant ID. This reference needs to match the transaction ID used with the register call.
REST: description
WebServices: ProcessRequest.Description
Validation: Custom
MaxLength: 4000
A description string for the merchant.
Transaction amount
REST: transactionAmount
WebServices: ProcessRequest.TransactionAmount
MaxLength: 10
The amount described as the lowest monetary unit, example: 100,00 NOK is noted as "10000", 9.99 USD is noted as "999". Note that both CREDIT and CAPTURE support partial captures and credits.
If no transaction amount is specified, for CAPTURE and CREDIT, the full available amount will be catured or credited, respectively.
Transaction Reconciliation Reference
REST: transactionReconRef
WebServices: ProcessRequest.TransactionReconRef
The transaction reconciliation reference is a merchant created reference local to a transaction. It is sent to certain acquirers and is returned with settlement. Not all acquirers support returning transaction reconciliation references.
A transaction reconciliation reference can be submitted when a transaction is registered with the Register call. This reference will then serve as a default reference if the reconciliation reference is omitted in the Process-call.
The transaction reconciliation reference can also be omitted altogether.
REST: Operation
WebServices: ProcessResponse.Operation
The Process call will echo which operation was used for this call. This is more useful when doing batch processing, but the field is set for single operations as well.
The transaction ID is echoed from the Process call.
REST: MerchantId
WebServices: MerchantId
The merchant ID is echoed from the Process call.
Response code
REST: ResponseCode
WebServices: ProcessResponse.ResponseCode
Validation: AlphaNumeric
The response code will be set to the string "OK" if the transaction was processed correctly. Any other response is an error, and should be logged with the Response Source and the Response Text.
Response source
REST: ResponseSource
WebServices: ProcessResponse.ResponseSource
Optional (present if Response Code different from "OK")
The response source indicates where the transaction failed. The response source should be logged and included in any communication with Netaxept support.
Response source values from the current version of Netaxept (version 2):
Response source values from the old version of Netaxept (version 1):
Response text
REST: ResponseText
WebServices: ProcessResponse.ResponseText
Authorization ID
REST: AuthorizationId
WebServices: ProcessResponse.AuthorizationId
Required (for AUTH)
MaxLength: 64
An ID identifying this authorization. This ID is sent from the issuer.
Execution time
REST: ExecutionTime
WebServices: ProcessResponse.ExecutionTime
Validation: Timestamp
A timestamp indicating when the operation was finished. This timestamp is generated on the server.
The Process-call can throw the following exceptions:
For a full description of the different exceptions, go here.
If you are using CAPTURE in conjunction with the Fee-feature, you need to run a Query to get the Total amount before capturing, as the amount might have changed in the terminal. You can always CAPTURE upto the Total amount whether using Fees or not.
If testing the REST-interface in a browser, remember to URL-encode parameters that need it. When implementing the real client, you should of course use a custom HTTP-client.
Substitute [MERCHANTID], [TOKEN] and [TRANSACTION_ID] for the values you have been provided with. The following call will perform an AUTH on a registered transaction.
This example code assumes you added the WSDL to your project with the namespace BBS.
BBS.NetaxeptClient client = new TestNetaxept.BBS.NetaxeptClient();var authres = client.Process([MERCHANT_ID], [TOKEN], new ProcessRequest { Operation = "AUTH", TransactionId = [TRANSACTION_ID] });
A transaction that has been successfully authorized can be captured or annuled.

Many men and women have graced this world with their inspirational leadership and never ending tenacity. But amongst these men and women, there is a more selected group that stands out from them all. Although each may be from a different time era, their attributes and determination remain fairly the same. Even through their diverse profession greatness and excellence never fails to shine from them. However, the very same intentions that those men and women long to accomplish reflect the type of person, good or bad, they seem to us. People like Adolf Hitler, Theodore Roosevelt, and Mahatma Ghandi all have influenced millions of people around the world: as mentioned before, good and bad.
Lieutenant Colonel North
Oliver Laurence North is a San Antonio native and a United States Naval Academy graduate. Ollie served in the Vietnam War up until 1988 as a United States Marine Core Lieutenant Colonel. Many view Ollie's history as a stain in his past while others see past that and focus on what he accomplished as a reporter, military historian, and best-selling author. All in all, we can safely say that his modern day contributions has changed his image.
Ollie, a twenty-two year veteran, has written many books, several best-selling, that have captivated many readers with his narratives of United States' wars ranging from World War II up to the Afghanistan war. In my honest opinion, his time as a Marine, serves as his best credential as a military historical writer and allows him to familiarize himself with the experiences of the past and present wars' veterans. War Stories II: Victory in the Pacific really caught my attention because of it being over the history of War World II and because it was written by a Vietnam war veteran and not a writer that only has history classes that serves as knowledge of war time events.
The sequel to the Great War
War World II brought with it many great historical victories and as many...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, September 12. TIM Murphy's coaching staff at Penn State grew by two this week, as the school hired a new head diving coach, as well as an assistant swimming coach.
Dennis Ceppa stepped in as diving coach on Tuesday, replacing 28-year head coach Craig Brown. Ceppa comes to Penn State after four seasons at George Mason University, where he guided Derrick Butts to the NCAA championships in 2012, the first time a George Mason diver made it to the Big Dance.
He's also the coach of record for Amanda Burke, who recently competed at the world championships. Penn State has not taken a diver to the NCAA championships since 2006, when Adam Pierce got the nod to participate in Atlanta that year.
Steve Barnes will join Murphy's coaching squad on deck as one of three assistant coaches. He and Doak Finch will mark their first seasons as Penn State coaches, while Liz McMillan is starting her sixth season in University Park.
Barnes makes his NCAA Division I debut with this hire. He spent his collegiate swimming and coaching time in Division III, first as a student-athlete at Ithaca College, where he still holds the school records in distance freestyle. His first coaching job was at Kalamazoo College, where he worked as assistant coach before moving to Wabash College to be head swimming coach there.

Survivor: Jeff Probst Officiated 'The Office' Star, Jenna Fisher's Wedding
July 21, 2010 07:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
Jeff Probst recently took a break from mediating tribal councils on Survivor to officiate the wedding of Jenna Fisher, star of The Office, and screenwriter Lee Kirk.

Keep reading for more details on Jeff Probst's turn as minister for the star-studded affair…
Not only was Jenna Fisher's wedding to Lee Kirk filled with stars in the audience, it also included a well-known celeb as the officiant. Jeff Probst, host of Survivor, took a break from filming season 21 of the reality competition to oversee the nuptials of The Office star and her screenwriting beau.
For Jenna Fisher's July 3rd wedding to Lee Kirk, she called on an old friend and a familiar face to officiate the ceremony. Jeff Probst served as the minister for the star-studded ceremony in Malibu.

Nov. 9, 2007
Dustin Mares scored the game-winning goal with only 25 seconds left in overtime at the Butler Bowl on Friday, propelling Butler to a 4-3 win over visiting Detroit in the first round of the Horizon League Championship.
Four different Bulldogs scored goals in Butler's first conference tourney win under Head Coach Kelly Findley.
Boris Gatzky was the first Bulldog to strike when he scored an unassisted goal off of a set piece that he sent into the top right corner from 20 yards out. Gatzky's sixth goal of the year knotted the score up at 1-1.
Shortly after Gatzky's goal, Christian King of Detroit got his second yellow card of the match and was ejected. The Titans would have to play a man down for the rest of the afternoon.
Frank Patano picked up his team-leading 15th goal of the year in the 38th minute when Gatzky got him the ball in the six-yard box for a header to beat the keeper. The score came three minutes after Detroit's second score, tying the game at two goals apiece.
Less than ten minutes into the second half of play, the third different Bulldog scored when Eduardo Garcia got the ball from Patano for his second score of the season. Butler went up 3-2 and was looking like a lock to move on to the next round.
But with less than five minutes to play, Detroit's leading scorer, Renato Susnja, scored his eighth goal of the season to tie the game 3-3.
After nine minutes of play in the first overtime, it looked as if the game was heading into a second extra period until Dustin Mares scored with only 25 seconds left in the extra frame.
David Giarratana moved the ball up field and found Patano near the goal but instead of going for the goal, Patano redirected the ball to Mares who kicked the game-winning goal through the Detroit goalkeeper's legs for the victory.
Fabian Knopfler was in goal for Butler, picking up three saves in his sixth win of the season in goal.
On the day, Butler out-shot Detroit 20-12 and held a 9-4 advantage in corner kicks.
Butler will face the winner of Green Bay and Cleveland State on Sunday in the second round of the Horizon League Championship. If Cleveland State wins, Butler will host the match but if Green Bay wins, the Bulldogs will travel to Wisconsin on Sunday.

With Mayor-elect Ed Murray facing key decisions regarding the Seattle Police Department, a City Council committee took up a proposal Wednesday that could help Murray attract strong candidates for permanent police chief.
The measure would repeal a longstanding restriction that bars the chief from hiring assistant or deputy chiefs from outside the department, a possible impediment to potential chief candidates who would want the freedom to bring along top aides.
It was discussed by the council's public-safety committee, with Councilmember Tim Burgess pressing for swift action but committee Chair Bruce Harrell putting off a vote until mid-January to collect more information, including comments from the two police unions representing rank and file and management.
Harrell, co-sponsor of the measure with Burgess, said a decision could be made in time to dovetail with the search for a permanent chief.
- Power restored after major, hour-long outage in downtown Seattle
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Boeing plans hundreds of layoffs in local IT unit
- Walkoff magic! Leonys Martin's dramatic homer in ninth lifts Mariners
Most Read Stories
The council, he said, needs to weigh the benefits of providing a useful tool to the chief while considering the effect of change that could hamper morale by restricting the ability to rise within the department.
Murray won't take office until January, but he could begin making some decisions before then, driven by the urgency to meet a federal mandate to curb excessive force and biased policing in the Police Department. Just last week, two assistant chiefs were demoted to captain after a critical draft report from the federal monitor overseeing the reforms, who cited resistance among some in the top ranks.
The potential choices facing Murray include whether to:
• Begin the search process for a permanent chief before he takes office.
• Select a new interim chief who would pledge not to apply for the permanent job, which current Interim Chief Jim Pugel is actively seeking.
• Limit the search only to an outside candidate if Murray concludes that would provide the best leadership.
Burgess called the measure to open up hiring of top commanders essential to lifting a "roadblock" that has limited the pool of applicants in past searches for police chiefs.
"Our restriction is very uncommon," Burgess said.
But Harrell asked for more information from council staff, which reported Wednesday that preliminary research indicated that in other cities the common practice is to allow outside hiring of top commanders, including in Philadelphia and Chicago.
Letters asking to bargain the issue have been sent by the Seattle Police Officers' Guild, which represents officers and sergeants, and the Seattle Police Management Association, which represents captains and lieutenants who presently are the only group from which assistant chiefs can be drawn.
Capt. Eric Sano, president of the management association, who attended Wednesday's committee meeting, said his group didn't plan to be "obstructionists." But it wants an opportunity to discuss issues such as how many top positions might be open to outsiders, Sano said.
The association's vice president, Capt. Joe Kessler, who sat on the most recent police-chief search committee that led to the hiring of insider John Diaz, said he questioned whether the current restriction has been an impediment.
The restriction dates to the late 1970s, although it's unclear why it was enacted, Burgess said.
In pushing for a repeal, Burgess said the city needs its top police commanders to be the "best possible, regardless of where they come from."
Without passing the measure, he said, the city won't be setting the table for reform, as well as change sought by officers and detectives whose "frustration level is widespread."
Burgess said if the committee votes in mid-January, the full council won't follow suit until later in the month.
Harrell said he was confident the committee could act in a timely fashion while carefully considering a change that would engender "culture shock" in the department.
The change would bring the Police Department closer in line with the King County Sheriff's Office, where top commanders may be hired from outside.

BARNESVILLE - Never has a 30-degree wind chill felt so inviting for John Patrone and his Bellaire Big Reds.
Bellaire showed total disregard for the elements, compiling 15 hits en route to an 11-5 pounding of host Barnesville in a OVAC 3A semifinal matchup Monday at City Park.
The Reds won for a 12th time in 20 starts and will oppose either Buckeye Trail or Shenandoah for a conference title Saturday at Steubenville's Vaccaro Field.
"One of our goals coming into the season was to qualify for the OVAC Tournament," an obviously pleased Patrone said. "We've struggled at times to generate consistent hitting but (Monday) we went out and put it all together. Our kids are excited to advance and so are the coaches."
The loss dropped D.J. Butler's Shamrocks to 10-7 with regular- season action remaining prior to the start of Ohio postseason play.
"We're disappointed because we know we can play better," Butler said. "We'll get back to work and get ready for sectionals. That's where all our focus is directed now."
Early deadlocks ensued at 1-1 and 2-2 before Bellaire flexed its muscles, batting around in the top of the fourth and scoring five times.
Third baseman Hunter Westlake clubbed a two-run single. A Spencer Badia ground ball brought home another tally. Nick McMahon and Nick Patrone capped the uprising with run-scoring base knocks.
Barnesville answered with two runs in the last of the fourth. Designated hitter David Brown singled home teammate Mason Plumly and Auston Hannahs' sacrifice fly reduced the hosts' deficit to 7-4.
Bellaire, however, retaliated immediately, adding a fifth-inning three-spot for 10-4 command. Leftfielder Bralen Snell slugged a one-out double. After centerfielder Manny Ray was hit by a Zack Dornon pitch, Westlake stepped in and sent a Dornon offering over the fence in left and the Reds were in command.
"That's a season-high in hits and it definitely came at the right time," Bellaire's skipper added. "Hopefully, we can keep this momentum going."
McMahon registered the mound decision in relief of Nick Patrone. The duo combined for 12 Ks and nine walks.
Westlake hammered three hits and totaled five RBIs. Snell, Badia, Dalton Conroy and Tyler West enjoyed multi-hit performances.
Zack Dornon suffered the mound loss with Ian Wells coming on in the fifth. The duo teamed for four strikeouts and one walk.
Catcher Preston Dornon drilled a double and single, good for two Shamrock runs batted in. Second baseman Nate Wehr socked a single and double.
Bellaire was scheduled to host Cameron this afternoon. Barnesville has a Wednesday road test at Shenandoah.

"Pure Ski Experience" Heads to Tri-State Competition
Pure Ski Experience continued its journey from idea to action with the Second Place prize in the statewide Donald W. Reynolds Business Plan Competition on Thursday, April 18th in Reno. Team members have journeyed from SNC's Innovative Idea Competition last August to a first place win in the College's Jâlé and Warren Trepp Business Plan Competition last month to last night's win in the statewide competition. Their next stop is the 2013 Tri-State Donald W. Reynolds Cup Competition in Las Vegas – which will bring together the first and second place undergraduate and graduate winners from the statewide contests in Nevada, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
Pure Ski Experience is a ski instruction enterprise operated by coaches with Olympic ski experience. Team members Matea Ferk, Tea Palic, and Luca Ricou, presented once again to a panel of outside judges a detailed oral synopsis and extensive question and answer session. The second place award at the state level garnered them $15,000 which they have added to their $4,500 prize in the Jâlé and Warren Trepp Business Plan Competition.Under their Business model, Pure Ski Experience's coaches will be current or former top 250 international alpine skiers, based on the FIS Alpine World ranking, who are driven to share their knowledge, skills and motivational techniques with adult skiers. The value-add of Pure Ski is to create a life-changing learning experience through advanced and goal-oriented teaching methods.
The award for the 2013 Nevada's Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (NCET) Faculty Advisors of the Year was also presented at the Donald W. Reynolds Business Plan Competition. The award was presented to our Assistant Professor and Business Department Chair, Kendra Wong. Kendra has mentored business plan teams in the Jâlé and Warren Trepp Business Plan Competition and the Donald W. Reynolds Business Plan Competition for the past three years.
In an unprecedented move, the other top finishers in SNC's Jâlé and Warren Trepp Business Plan Competition were also finalists in the Governor's Cup Competition – giving SNC three out of the six undergraduate plans for this statewide event. Urban Feat, LLC, second place winner in the SNC Competition had a strong showing in Reno both during the Governor's Cup and earlier in the week, when they presented to a national panel of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists during the 1 Million Cups event sponsored by the Kauffmann Labs, renowned for its support of entrepreneurship nationally and internationally. Although Urban Feat was not in the money at the Governor's Cup – they have attracted significant interest through the Kauffman competition and will be meeting with a number of individual investors who have expressed strong interest.
Urban Feat team members, Viking Roald, Marcus Plyhr, Sabrina Belleci, and Jaka Jazbec have developed a smartphone application that is location based and bridges the gap between local consumers and small businesses through push notification advertisements and information tailored to consumers based on their location.
The final SNC entrant in the Governor's Cup was Northern Nevada Studios, with an entrepreneurial team of Jarrett Grimes, Daniella Calais, Jacob Bricklin, Mitch Wiseman, and Forest Jade. Northern Nevada Studios is a motion picture asset management corporation that envisions locations in Incline Village, Reno, and Gardnerville, NV. It will provide motion picture production resources to filmmakers that include sound stage, a variety of land configuration for filmmaking, post-production services, and production rentals of gear such as cameras, lenses, and lighting.
We congratulate all of our amazing students and faculty on all their hard work and success.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Hello,You would have to file a motion to remove the receiver, state the facts that support your reason for the removal motion (i.e., real property waste/failure to maintain and preserve). As part of your declaration, you would identify and attach exhibits, and thereby get your evidence preliminarily into the court record. Ultimately, you would have to authenticate the evidence and have the evidence actually admitted during a hearing, assuming that the receiver objects to removal -- otherwise, the receiver would simply step aside and a new receiver appointed. Example:I, [yourname], do hereby depose and say:1. That I am the defendant in the above-entitled action.2. On ??/??/????, this court appointed [receiver name] as temporary receiver in this case, and ordered receiver to collect rents for the mortgagee and take whatever actions were necessary for the preservation and maintenance of the real property, subject to this case.3. On ??/??/????, I visited the subject property and found that it was overgrown with weeds, at practically every location where there is landscaping present (see Exhibit #1, photographs, attached).4. etc.5. etc.6. etc.Subscribed and sworn before me, this ___ day of ____, 2013, by:_________[yourname]Defendant, Pro Se[address][city, state, zip][phone]Hope this helps.

modded PST or solarmax 60,etc?
Posted 11 February 2013 - 08:15 PM
my question is, what are the pros and cons? I noticed that buying the mod or hacking a mod with a PST pushed the cost up there in the solarmax territory. Which way is a better route? Thank you.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 08:45 PM
Anyway, there are folks out there doing it, and you'll be able to find them. But not here....
In my opinion, though, if you want to jump in at a higher level than the good ol' PST, the next logical step is a Lunt 60. Just sayin'...

text: 000 FXUS63 KMPX 250612 AFDMPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 112 AM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue May 24 2016 Finally seeing some isolated showers and storms popping across west central Minnesota this afternoon...where an impressive 3000 J/KG of Most Unstable CAPE and Lifted Indices around -6C are being analyzed. Despite the presence of impressive instability, there appears to be an absence of any strong lifting/forcing mechanism, with low/mid level ridging building in from the west. Therefore, while spotty storm development will likely continue to occur with the afternoon heating, expect the severe threat is very low/marginal. Dewpoints stay elevated in the 50s to lower 60s tonight as we await the arrival of more widespread convection from the southwest. Conditions will remain rather muggy, with lows in the mid 50s to lower 60s and little wind. This will also create the potential for some fog development, primarily over east central MN and west central WI where less cloud cover and lighter winds are projected. Wednesday looks to be nearly a slam dunk for precipitation given the progged support from a shortwave trough, favorable upper level jet dynamics, and impressive low level moisture transport. By daybreak Wednesday, expect to see the complex of showers and thunderstorms having reached west/south central MN, then spreading toward the MN/WI border by noon. We look to dry out over west/south central MN by Wednesday afternoon. If we see some clearing, thunderstorm redevelopment could mean severe storms, with the triple point located just to the west in central South Dakota, a warm front stretching into MN, and a trailing shortwave pushing into the Dakotas. Large hail and damaging winds would be the primary concerns, although the wind profiles and frontal boundary would also suggest a tornado threat. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday) Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue May 24 2016 A warm and unstable pattern will prevail through the long term as the local area is sandwiched between a trough of low pressure in the west and a ridge of high pressure in the east. Model agreement was pretty good today between the gfs and ecmwf. The most significant period for showers and thunderstorms is from friday night through Saturday night when a strong wave aloft moves northward across the upper mississippi valley. widespread rain amounts of an inch to an inch and a half are possible. this wave will come into southern California on Wednesday and reach Colorado by Friday morning then begin the trek northeast through the upcoming weekend. Weak ridging in the wake of this wave may yield a drier forecast for Sunday over what we currently have. This will certainly be fined tuned over the next several days as the entire holiday weekend will not be a total washout. Some weaker waves will traverse the region from Memorial Day through Tuesday, leading to more chances for precipitation, but rain amounts with these look to be lighter and less widespread. In the meantime, the beginning of the long term (Wednesday night) will see showers and thunderstorms moving north and east of the forecast area as a wave exits the region. This will leave the forecast area dry for a good part of Thursday before showers and thunderstorms begin to sprout late Thursday night and Friday. Both high and low temperatures will average around 10 degrees above normal through the period. This is more representative of late June weather. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 112 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 SW flow aloft means energy helping generate TSRA from SODAK down through KS will be heading this way through the night. Confidence is increasing in a NW to SE oriented band of SHRA/TSRA moving across MN during the morning and into WI during the afternoon. Used a combination of the HRRR/RAP/NAM to time this activity in to TAFs, which resulted in delaying precip onset from what the 00z TAFs had by an hour or two. Behind this initial wave, uncertainty in the forecast is high. There will be a lot of mid level drying and subsidence in the wake of this mornings wave. Current thinking is this drying and subsidence will limit storm redevelopment in the afternoon, with extensive cloud cover limiting destabilization and potential for seeing more SHRA/TSRA from the afternoon into Wednesday night. Main concern with what these TAFs is they may not be capturing the potential for a few hours of MVFR cigs in the wake of the rain when looking at RH in the 925-850mb layer off the RAP/NAM. Would like to see better MVFR ceiling probs in the SREF and more clouds in that level forecast on the HRRR though before getting too carried away with that. KMSP...Although still a good deal of variability in the CAMS with how widespread TSRA will be with the band moving up this morning, there is good agreement on the 16z to 19z period being most likely for seeing TSRA, so hit this period with a prevailing TSRA group. After that, really don`t see much potential for SHRA/TSRA the rest of the period. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Thu...Mainly VFR. Chc TSRA/MVFR. Wind S to SW 5 kts. Fri...Mainly VFR. Chc TSRA/MVFR. Wind SE 5 kts. Sat...MVFR. TSRA/MVFR Likely. Wind SSE 5 kts. && .MPX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None. MN...None. && $$ SHORT TERM...LS LONG TERM...RAH AVIATION...MPG

It is now generally accepted that the energy problem of the 1980s was no passing phenomenon but marked the end of an era of cheap coal and oil, and the transition to high-cost energy. In real terms the price of oil is now more than five times what it was in 1972, and seems likely to continue to rise. Now that energy is no longer cheap, it ranks in importance with the classical factors of production--land, labor, and capital--and its supply and cost must be given due weight in the plans of economic managers at all levels. These considerations apply not only to forms of energy that are traded internationally but also to energy that is produced and consumed domestically, and to traditional as well as commercial energy, because the prices, availability, and consumption levels of all forms of energy are closely related. Commercial energy includes coal, oil and natural gas, and electricity generated by burning one of these fuels, or obtained from hydroelectric, nuclear, or geothermal power. Traditional energy is derived from materials commonly used in preindustrial societies, such as wood, charcoal, agricultural residues, and animal or human wastes.
Developing countries consume a small share--12 per cent--of the world's commercial energy. However, their economies are growing faster than those of the industrial countries, and the rapid growth of cities, industries, motorized transport, and other energy-intensive developments, has in the past caused their demand for commercial energy to grow faster than their gross national product (GNP). Much of the increased demand has been met by oil, and the great majority of developing countries must import all or a portion of their oil requirements (see Tables 1 and 2).
The oil importing developing countries face severe problems in maintaining their economic progress in view of the higher cost of energy. As well as having to adapt their long-term investment____________________

Located in Humboldt Park, in the heart of Chicago's Puerto Rican community, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture (NMPRAC) is the only self-standing cultural institution in the nation devoted to showcasing Puerto Rican arts and historic exhibitions year-round.
Founded in 2001 by members of Chicago's Puerto Rican community and local supporters of arts and culture, NMPRAC serves as a one-of-a-kind institution that celebrates the best of Puerto Rico's identity and heritage. Since its inception, NMPRAC has offered a variety of quality community arts and cultural programming, including visual art exhibitions, hands-on community arts workshops, films in the park and an annual outdoor fine arts and crafts festival.
Through a long-term lease with the City of Chicago, the community secured the historic Humboldt Park Stables and Receptory as the home for NMPRAC, a building culturally significant to Chicago and embraced by the many people of Puerto Rican descent who have settled in the Humboldt Park community.
Visitors to the museum will enter through the dramatic brick archway of the original carriage receptory into a magnificent brick courtyard adorned with mosaic artwork depicting the island of Puerto Rico and many of its cultural elements. The courtyard is surrounded on all sides by the unique Queen Anne architectural features of the former stables. Each room in the stables has been transformed into part of a fully functional museum. NMPRAC currently houses two galleries, performance spaces, arts classrooms and curatorial and administrative offices. A second phase of internal renovations is underway and will include a cafe, gift shop and a main gallery. The courtyard serves as the ideal space for art festivals, outdoor performances and rentals for private events.
NMPRAC gives people from all walks of life an opportunity to be inspired by the power of artistic tradition, allowing guests to explore and appreciate the incredible beauty, intensity and tradition of Puerto Rican art and culture.

DOGS DOWNED | Canberra came from the clouds to down Canterbury in the National Capital this afternoo...
9 hours ago - 2 Likes
A stumbling start, a magnificent streak, first half horror stories and a piece of Matthew Head brilliance. Once again we are at the half way mark of another intriguing story regarding the enigma that is the St George Illawarra Dragons.
Yesterdays defeat to the Melbourne Storm, has left the club sitting once again on that mark which has cursed them since inception in 1999 - 50%. However despite starting the season with five defeats out of their first six games, there is a feeling in the air that just maybe this is the year that history can be created.
Paper statistics alone indicate that as a club, the Dragons have gone backwards. Defensively strong last year, the opening half of 2005 show that in terms of points against, only the hapless Bunnies and winless Knights are worse off as a defensive unit. The intensity or lack thereof in defense at certain periods was never more evident than in yesterdays clash against Melbourne where their loss basically came down to four poor defensive stops close to their own line.
To simply criticise or place a label however due to points against would do disservice to a side who have matured as a defensive unit in the past eighteen months. The side have shown a great ability in tight situations this year to hold out teams for extended periods of time. The keyman in todays line up is the boom youngster from Wollongong Ben Creagh. One of the cleanest hitters in league today, his rise to the top will help bring an even greater attitude to the Dragons defensive line in the second half of this season.
In attacking terms, the club is somewhere towards where they want to be. New additions on the wing in local St George junior Wes Naiqama and ex Shark Colin Best have proved handy acquisitions holding out last years wingers Reece Simmonds and Nick Youngquest. Best in particular despite his much maligned beginning, has proved a more than handy finisher and is forming a quite potent right side combination with Mark Gasnier.
The most noticeable thing this year is that combinations are beginning to be truly developed due to players not being injured. Barrett and Gasnier are the catalysts for so much of Saints attack, and their ability to continue to string the appearances together through the second half of this year will ensure that fans will be able to see plenty more of those razzle dazzle tries they have come to expect.
Barrett's form in particular has been a sight for sore eyes and the improvement is becoming more noticeable every game. With Barrett leading the way and getting good early ball to arguably the best centre combination in Rugby League today, the signs are only pointing one way and that is up.
So fans are still asking why the team is not performing to its peak. Lets take a look at the positives and negatives to come out of these first twelve matches and look towards September and maybe even October.
Positives: ? Trent Barrett has been in some of the best form of his career to date. Running better lines in attack, his choices of when to run and when to distribute are also getting much better. More ball to the backs and the opportunities to run at lazy forwards will present themselves. Also his defense is back to its bruising 1999 quality. The key man to winning or losing this competition. ? Mark Gasnier once again has shown himself to have some of the quickest feet in the business. His shimmy is a sight to be seen, and I'm sure most Saints fans are hoping to see a lot more of it over the remaining four months of this season. ? Winning the tight ones has always been a noose around the clubs neck since 1999. However three tight hard fought victories against Easts, Wests and Newcastle have helped to dispell that theory. ? Seven representatives in the NSW thirty man squad is a huge achievement. On top of this Lance Thompson and Dean Young are also close to the squad and Shaun Timmins has retired from representative football. ? Lance Thompsons leadership has been a major plus for the team this year. Whilst never shirking the work at all, he has stepped up during the horrendous start to the season and planted his mark all over our forward pack for the betterment of all. ? Ben Creagh is a star shooting straight for the top. He is one that must be kept at all costs. His running and defense is amazing. Full throttle smashing impact wherever you turn. Will be captain of this team within three years
? A 1-5 start has once again left the club chasing its tail rather than setting the pace like it rightfully should be. ? Running up first half deficits of over 20 points was a sign of the times through March and April. A return to those days will see the side sitting joining Newcastle and Souths very quickly. ? Ashton Sims was talked about before Origin III last year as a potential bolter for a front row spot. Now he is struggling for form in First Division. A prized recruit who has been earmarked for superstardom since his days in Harold Matthews Cup, fans will be hoping to see a return to form and the NRL very soon. ? A deficit of 8 points for and against may come to haunt later in the year with this year being the tightest competition in living memory. An improvement in defence should see this eradicated.
So what does the second half behold for the Saints. Seven of their last twelve games will be played at home. In this period the club also receive their two byes. A testing road trip awaits in early August when the side takes on Rugby Leagues version of The Doomsday Double challenging North Queensland and Brisbane on consecutive weekends away from home. This trip could either set up a run at the title or leave the club eyeing off victories in their final two games at the clubs spiritual home Oki Jubilee Stadium to even make the finals.
However before that trip arises, the clubs origin players need to come out of a testing State of Origin series without too many lasting bruises. Origin has been particularly harsh on the Dragons in the last few years and all fans will be hoping for nothing less than an injury free series by all.
One thing is for sure, The Dragons will more than likely give their fans a few more thrills and spills before this season comes to an end, an ending they hope concludes with a lap of honour of Telstra Stadium on October 2.

Tuesday was the first day of class for the 27,000 students at ECU and they're maneuvering around construction and dealing with larger class sizes.
Sophomore Haley Bowman says,"There's definitely a lot of construction going on. It hasn't impacted me getting to my class, but I've seen a lot of people on social media complaining about having to take detours and being late to class."
Junior Meredith Allen has noticed the larger classes. She says, "In my first class there were 127 students and it was a big lecture hall and it's the biggest class I've been in since I've been here, so that was definitely a change"
The larger class sizes are the result of budget cuts from the past 5 years with the latest round 10 million dollars.
The university says students will see a difference in how they operate.
Chancellor Steve Ballard mentioned in his faculty convocation on Monday they will be more fiscally challenged this budget year and that they will have to be creative on cutting administrative costs and generating revenue.

Top nine ministers convene to discuss possible ceasefire with Hamas despite explosion on Tel Aviv bus. Clinton departs for Cairo. Report: Palestinians reject Israel's offer to discuss demands following three quiet months
Ynet reporters
Published: 11.21.12, 16:28 / Israel News
Ynet reporters
Senior Israeli officials estimate that Wednesday's terror attack on a Tel Aviv bus will not affect the ceasefire negotiations and told Ynet that the objective is to reach an agreement on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry has relayed a message to all Israeli embassies following the terror attack in Tel Aviv. "At the height of international efforts to secure a ceasefire, the terrorists have chosen to escalate their attacks against civilians. This terror attack complicates those efforts," the message said.
Related Stories:
"The current escalation in violence emanating from Gaza began on November 10, when 121 rockets were fired by Hamas and other terror organizations," the message read.
"Israel displayed great restraint and limited its operation over the past few days despite the continued missile attacks. The terrorists, on the other hand, have decided to expand their attacks. While Israel is doing all it can to avoid Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza, Hamas and other terror groups are deliberately trying to harm Israeli civilians with rockets and bombs.
"Israel is exercising its right to defend itself and to protect its citizens from the rockets fired from Gaza," the Foreign Ministry said in the missive.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who returned from Ramallah and was scheduled to conduct an additional round of meetings in Jerusalem in an attempt to promote a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, departed for Egypt, which is heading to truce efforts. Israel's leading nine ministers convened at 2:30 pm to discuss a possible ceasefire.
A few minutes prior to the terror attack, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a joint press conference in Ramallah following a discussion on the situation in the Gaza Strip.

Ban called for political negotiations with the Palestinians and a two-state solution. The time has come for a Palestinian state alongside Israel,
he said.
Abbas said that he asked Ban to take action, "in order to stop Israel's reckless attacks." Abbas emphasized that he is interested in peace talks based on a two-state solution and the 1967 borders.
Earlier on Wednesday, the London-based al-Hayat newspaper reported that Hamas and Islamic Jihad sources said that Israel has offered a 90-day ceasefire during which their goodwill will be assessed prior to talks on Palestinian demands.

However, the Palestinian side has rejected the offer, sticking to three points: A mutual ceasefire, an end to the targeted killings and an opening of the border crossings immediately after the calm is put into affect.
Sources involved in the negotiations told the paper that Islamic Jihad operatives planned to fire missiles on Israel to take the pressure off of the Gaza Strip.

Egyptian security sources feared an Israeli response that would draw Cairo into the Gaza conflict and therefore asked Islamic Jihad leaders to intervene and prevent attacks on Israel.
Senior Israeli officials told London's al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper that the burgeoning ceasefire agreement has not been put on paper and consists of a series of verbal understandings between the Egyptians and the two sides - which will be implemented in three phases.
The first phase will last for 24 hours throughout which rocket-firing and attacks on the Gaza Strip will stop. The second phase of the initial negotiation pertains to political issues, including the opening of the border crossings. In the third phase, Egypt will complete the negotiations restoring calm.
Ali Baraki, a senior Hamas
official, said that in the upcoming hours, intensive Egyptian efforts will continue in order to restore the lull with Israel. He also said that discussions are being held regarding the agreement's final details.
He associated the attacks on Gaza with possible Israeli attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran. "The Israelis think that Gaza is the weakest link and that it can send messages to Lebanon and Iran from the Strip in order to display its military capabilities, but the reality proved otherwise. Israel will think not 10 times, but rather one million times before it attacks Iran
or Lebanon."
