Release Date: July 24, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Five faculty members representing the health sciences and engineering have been named University at Buffalo Distinguished Professors for 2014. The appointments are effective Sept. 1.
The UB Distinguished Professor designation — not to be confused with the SUNY Distinguished Professor designation, a rank above that of full professor awarded by the SUNY trustees —was created by the Office of the Provost to recognize full professors who have achieved true distinction and are leaders in their fields.
It is open to faculty members who have been a full professor for at least five years and who have achieved national or international prominence and a distinguished reputation within their field through significant contributions to the research/scholarly literature or through artistic performance or achievement in the fine arts.
The new UB Distinguished Professors are:
Carol Brewer, professor, School of Nursing
A fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, Brewer serves as associate dean for academic affairs for the nursing school and holds an appointment as a clinical professor in the Department of Family Medicine, UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
She specializes in the nursing workforce and the chronic nursing shortage in the United States. Her work on this topic has been funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
A UB faculty member since 1994, she serves as director of nursing programs for the New York State Area Health Education Center System, developing nursing policy, and nursing and health care workforce development programs.
Brewer has received numerous honors and awards, including the 2013 Excellence in Policy Award from the American Academy of Nursing, a Foundation of New York State Nurses' Distinguished Nurse Researcher Award, a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, and a UB Exceptional Scholar Sustained Achievement Award. She also has been a member of several federal review boards.
Brewer received a bachelor's degree in biology from Denison University, a bachelor's degree in nursing from Trenton State College and a master's degree in nursing from the University of Tennessee, as well as a master's degree in applied economics and a PhD in nursing systems, both from the University of Michigan.
Steven Fliesler, Meyer H. Riwchun Endowed Chair Professor of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences
Fliesler, who joined the UB faculty in 2008, is an internationally recognized scientist and current president of the International Society for Eye Research. He is vice chair and director of research for the Department of Ophthalmology, and also directs research for UB's Ira G. Ross Eye Institute Vision Research Center, housed in the VA Western New York Healthcare System.
Fliesler is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on cholesterol metabolism and its role in retinal structure and function. For the past two decades, the National Institutes of Health has funded his pioneering studies into retinal dysfunction and degeneration associated with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, a rare, sometimes deadly, birth defect. He also has received funding from the March of Dimes, the Foundation Fighting Blindness and Alcon Research Laboratories.
He has published 105 peer-reviewed research papers and 17 book chapters and reviews, as well as numerous editorials and commentaries. He also has presented more than 225 invited seminars and presentations at national and international meetings. He recently was honored as the 2014 ARVO Gold Fellow by the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, and is a recipient of a 2014 SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities.
Fliesler received a BA in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and a PhD in biochemistry from Rice University. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Cullen Eye Institute at Baylor College of Medicine.
Marilyn Morris, professor and vice chair, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
A UB faculty member since 1985, Morris recently was elected president of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), the premier organization in the pharmaceutical sciences.
Her research focuses on membrane transport proteins, their influence on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, and their use as therapeutic targets. She has published extensively on renal transport, hepatobiliary transport and hepatic clearance models, and the ATP-dependent binding cassette and monocarboxylate transporters.
Morris' recent research is focused on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of monocarboxylic acids, including the drug abuse of γ-hydroxybutyric acid. Other current research projects involve the dietary components flavonoids and organic isothiocyanates, with an emphasis on their potential for transport and metabolic drug interactions, and their role in cancer therapy and chemoprevention.
She has authored more than 160 peer-reviewed articles, nine books and a 2002 patent, and has given hundreds of professional presentations. Her research has received continuous federal, industrial, private, New York State and UB funding.
She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists. Among her other honors are a UB Distinguished Postdoctoral Mentor Award, an AAPS Service Award from the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Drug Metabolism section, a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research and Creative Activity, and a nomination for Teacher of the Year in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Morris received a BSc in pharmacy from the University of Manitoba, an MSc in pharmacology from the University of Ottawa and a PhD in pharmaceutics from UB. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto.
Mark Swihart, professor, Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Swihart, who joined the UB faculty in 1998, is a leader in the field of inorganic nanoparticle synthesis and processing. His research, funded primarily by the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and industry, may help improve optoelectronics, such as light-emitting diodes and solar cells. His discoveries could have imaging applications useful in medicine, environmental research and other fields.
He has authored or co-authored more than 120 peer-reviewed journal manuscripts, 120 conference publications and three book chapters. He is co-inventor on six U.S. patents and has served as an adviser to nearly 50 master's and doctoral students, and more than 70 undergraduates.
Swihart serves as director of the Integrated Nanostructured Systems strategic strength and co-director of the UB Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics.
Among his numerous honors are an appointment to the board of consulting editors of the AIChE Journal, a premier publication, and the 2013 Jacob K. Schoellkopf Medal in recognition of his pioneering research.
He is a recipient of the J.B. Wagner Young Investigator Award from the High Temperature Materials division of the Electrochemical Society and the Kenneth Whitby Award from the American Association of Aerosol Research. He has been selected four times as "Professor of the Year" by undergraduates in his department and has been honored by the McNair Scholars program and the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation.
Swihart received a BS in chemical engineering from Rice University and a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota, where he also served as a postdoctoral research associate in mechanical engineering.
Lawrence Wrabetz, professor, departments of Neurology and Biochemistry, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences
Wrabetz was recruited to UB in 2011 and serves as inaugural director of the Hunter James Kelly Research Institute. His research has centered on aging and development, with an emphasis on neuronal development and related pathology especially as related to myelin, the sheath protecting brain nerve fibers that is essential for all normal functioning of the nervous system.
A prolific scholar, Wrabetz has published 99 papers — 19 of these since joining the UB faculty — and eight book chapters, and has given more than 90 invited presentations, lectures and chaired symposia. His work has been supported continuously since 1995 by grants from European research institutes and international pharmaceutical companies, as well as the National Institutes of Health.
He is a member of the editorial boards for the American Society for Neurochemistry's flagship journal, Neuro, and for the Mariani Foundation Paediatric Neurology Series, and is a grant reviewer for several agencies, including the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain, INSERM France and the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. He also has served as an ad hoc member of a NIH study section on neurodegeneration and of a Muscular Dystrophy Association scientific advisory committee.
Wrabetz received a BS from Marquette University and an MD from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine. He completed internship and residency programs, and postdoctoral and advanced postdoctoral fellowships in neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
The new UB Distinguished Professors will be recognized at the annual Celebration of Faculty and Staff Excellence, to be held in the fall.

Laramie Mural Project Continues with New Work in Downtown Laramie
Laramie artist and University of Wyoming graduate Dan Toro has begun work on a mural on the Source Gas building located at Third and Custer streets in downtown Laramie.
Titled "Growth," it is the second mural of the Laramie Mural Project 2012. It will incorporate images of large trees with deep roots as a representation of community accomplishments. Smaller trees without deep roots appear as wind-blown, broken twigs.
"The image of trees with deep roots is symbolic of the community and, when working together, how much can be accomplished," Toro says. "When one moves away from the community, little gets done."
Toro is painting the mural on location through Aug. 31. The public is welcome to stop by to watch him work and view the mural's progression.
The Laramie Mural Project is a partnership among local businesses and artists, the Laramie Main Street Alliance and the UW Art Museum. It has been funded by the Guthrie Family Foundation, city of Laramie, and the Wyoming Arts Council.
"Growth" is the second of as many as four murals planned for the downtown area this year. "Escape" by Meghan Meier, the first new mural this year, can be viewed at Garfield and Second streets. They join three murals that were completed last summer: "Hollyhock Haven" by Travis Ivey, at Custer between First and Second streets; Meier's "Grainery Grove" at the alleyway on Ivinson between First and Second streets at the former Whole Earth Grainery; and Talal Cockar's "Tierra y Libertad," First Street between University and Ivinson on the Big Hollow Food Co-op building.
"Imagine learning from the masters" is a guiding principle of the UW Art Museum's programs. Located in the Centennial Complex at 2111 Willett Drive in Laramie, the museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission is free.
For more information, call the Art Museum at (307) 766-6622 or visit www.uwyo.edu/artmuseum and blog at www.uwyoartmuseum.org. Follow the museum on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/uwyoartmuseum.

By Cameron Huddleston, Online Editor May 24, 2012 Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer travel season. So if you're planning to hit the road this weekend or take a vacation over the coming months, here are tips to help keep costs under control. DOWNLOAD: The Kip Tips iPad App Save money on the road Download free travel apps. You can save time and money by downloading mobile applications. For example, you can use your smart phone to comparison shop for the lowest gas prices in your zip code with a free app such as GasBuddy. Here are more free travel apps you should consider downloading. Avoid unnecessary rental car fees. If you rent a car to avoid putting miles on your own, make sure that you don't pay more than you have to by saying no to the add-ons rental companies offer. See How to Avoid Unnecessary Rental Car Fees for the extras you should avoid. Advertisement Save money when flying Check fares often. To find the best price on a ticket, you need to check fares often because they fluctuate throughout the day, says George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com. Seat availability also varies during the day. For example, Hobica says an airline might have just one seat available at the lowest fare at 10 a.m., but it will open up more cheap seats later in the day. Sign up for fare alerts. Don't have time to check airfares every day? Sign up for alerts from airlines and travel sites -- such as Airfarewatchdog.com and FareCompare -- so you'll know if prices drop. Search airline sites individually. Sites such as Travelocity, Kayak and Bing Travel can help you compare prices among many airlines. But Hobica says that it pays to visit airlines' sites because some reserve their best fares for their own sites. For example, Airfarewatchdog fare searchers often find lower fares on www.jetblue.com, even without discounts. Advertisement Be flexible. If you don't need to travel on a specific date, Bing Travel will show you when fares are cheapest to a destination of your choice. Travelocity will search most domestic fares and many international ones over a 330-day search period. If you're looking to get away but don't have a particular destination in mind, Airfarewatchdog.com will show you the cheapest flights out of the airport nearest to you. You also can save money if you're flexible about which airport you fly out of or into (see How to Save on Last-Minute Flights). Avoid baggage fees. If saving money by being flexible isn't an option, at least don't pay more than you have to when you fly. Only Southwest Airlines lets you check two bags for free. Most of the other airlines charge about $25 for your first checked bag and $35 for a second checked bag. So pack lightly in a carry-on or consider shipping your luggage, especially if you have overweight or oversize bags that will cost significantly less to ship. Save money on accommodations Try Priceline. I save big on hotel rooms whenever I use Priceline's Name Your Own Price feature. You won't know which hotel you're booking until you pay, but you can increase your odds of getting the hotel you want by following these tips. Advertisement Get a refund if your hotel price drops. If you book a room months before your actual stay, chances are the price will be cheaper when you check in than when you made your reservation. However, if you book through Tingo, your room will automatically be rebooked at the lower rate if the hotel drops its price. Then you'll get a refund for the difference (learn more). Consider a vacation rental home, especially for longer stays. Renting an apartment, condo or house can often be cheaper than a hotel room. Plus, you'll have access to a kitchen, so you won't have to pay for pricey restaurant meals. Check HomeAway.com or VRBO.com.

N.J. grapples with Sandy confusion
The Star Ledger reports Saturday that there's widespread confusion across New Jersey "about polling locations, the logistics of Election Day under a state of emergency, and when the state will give voters more information."
Conventional wisdom has held that, since New Jersey is a strongly Democratic state and Democratic strongholds in north Jersey took a beating from Hurricane Sandy, President Obama's popular vote totals stands to be diminished by the prospect of decreased turnout.
While that may be true, it's often overlooked that the GOP vote could be significantly affected – the superstorm devastated some of the few Republican strongholds in the state, from Cape May north to Monmouth County. Ocean County, which delivered a 50,000-vote GOP margin in 2008, was especially hard hit.
In any case, there's little evidence to suggest that the ultimate outcome is going be affected -- the state's 14 electoral votes appear firmly ensconced in the Democratic column.

Ok, so what constitutes "happy to see you" sneezing" versus sick sneezing? Buddy has had a bit of a random sneeze since I got him but I think it's getting more frequent (esp. when he wakes up). There is some clear nasal discharge. The vet told me to bring him back if I heard and congestion but I am not sure what that exactly constitutes (he is not coughing). Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions?

The Oracle GlassFish Server provides a naming environment, or context, which is compliant with standard Java EE requirements. A Context object provides the methods for binding names to objects, unbinding names from objects, renaming objects, and listing the bindings. The InitialContext is the handle to the Java EE naming service that application components and clients use for lookups.
The JNDI API also provides subcontext functionality. Much like a directory in a file system, a subcontext is a context within a context. This hierarchical structure permits better organization of information. For naming services that support subcontexts, the Context class also provides methods for creating and destroying subcontexts.
The rest of this section covers these topics:
Each resource within the server must have a unique name.
Global JNDI names are assigned according to the following precedence rules:
A global JNDI name assigned in the sun-ejb-jar.xml, sun-web.xml, or sun-application-client.xml deployment descriptor file has the highest precedence. See Mapping References.
A global JNDI name assigned in a mapped-name element in the ejb-jar.xml, web.xml, or application-client.xml deployment descriptor file has the second highest precedence. The following elements have mapped-name subelements: resource-ref, resource-env-ref, ejb-ref, message-destination, message-destination-ref, session, message-driven, and entity.
A global JNDI name assigned in a mappedName attribute of an annotation has the third highest precedence. The following annotations have mappedName attributes: @javax.annotation.Resource, @javax.ejb.EJB, @javax.ejb.Stateless, @javax.ejb.Stateful, and @javax.ejb.MessageDriven.
A default global JNDI name is assigned in some cases if no name is assigned in deployment descriptors or annotations.
For an EJB 2.x dependency or a session or entity bean with a remote interface, the default is the fully qualified name of the home interface.
For an EJB 3.0 dependency or a session bean with a remote interface, the default is the fully qualified name of the remote business interface.
If both EJB 2.x and EJB 3.0 remote interfaces are specified, or if more than one 3.0 remote interface is specified, there is no default, and the global JNDI name must be specified.
For all other component dependencies that must be mapped to global JNDI names, the default is the name of the dependency relative to java:comp/env. For example, in the @Resource(name="jdbc/Foo") DataSource ds; annotation, the global JNDI name is jdbc/Foo.
The preferred way of accessing the naming service, even in code that runs outside of a Java EE container, is to use the no-argument InitialContext constructor. However, if EJB client code explicitly instantiates an InitialContext that points to the CosNaming naming service, it is necessary to set the java.naming.factory.initial property to com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory in the client JVM software when accessing EJB components. You can set this property as a command-line argument, as follows:
Or you can set this property in the code, as follows:
Properties properties = null; try { properties = new Properties(); properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory"); ...
The recommended approach for looking up an EJB component in a remote GlassFish Server from a client that is a servlet or EJB component is to use the Interoperable Naming Service syntax. Host and port information is prepended to any global JNDI names and is automatically resolved during the lookup. The syntax for an interoperable global name is as follows:
This makes the programming model for accessing EJB components in another GlassFish Server exactly the same as accessing them in the same server. The deployer can change the way the EJB components are physically distributed without having to change the code.
For Java EE components, the code still performs a java:comp/env lookup on an EJB reference. The only difference is that the deployer maps the ejb-reference element to an interoperable name in a GlassFish Server deployment descriptor file instead of to a simple global JNDI name.
For example, suppose a servlet looks up an EJB reference using java:comp/env/ejb/Foo, and the target EJB component has a global JNDI name of a/b/Foo.
The ejb-ref element in sun-web.xml looks like this:
<ejb-ref> <ejb-ref-name>ejb/Foo</ejb-ref-name> <jndi-name>corbaname:iiop:host:port#a/b/Foo</jndi-name> <ejb-ref>
The code looks like this:
Context ic = new InitialContext(); Object o = ic.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Foo");
For a client that doesn't run within a Java EE container, the code just uses the interoperable global name instead of the simple global JNDI name. For example:
Context ic = new InitialContext(); Object o = ic.lookup("corbaname:iiop:host:port#a/b/Foo");
Objects stored in the interoperable naming context and component-specific (java:comp/env) naming contexts are transient. On each server startup or application reloading, all relevant objects are re-bound to the namespace.
Lifecycle listener modules provide a means of running short or long duration tasks based on Java technology within the GlassFish Server environment, such as instantiation of singletons or RMI servers. These modules are automatically initiated at server startup and are notified at various phases of the server life cycle. For details about lifecycle modules, see Chapter 13, Developing Lifecycle Listeners.
The configured properties for a lifecycle module are passed as properties during server initialization (the INIT_EVENT). The initial JNDI naming context is not available until server initialization is complete. A lifecycle module can get the InitialContext for lookups using the method LifecycleEventContext.getInitialContext() during, and only during, the STARTUP_EVENT, READY_EVENT, or SHUTDOWN_EVENT server life cycle events.

Violence on the rise in Baghdad as U.S. drawdown continues
BAGHDAD — Two bombs and a rocket attack struck the Iraqi capital on Monday, just weeks before the final pullout of American forces from the country.
The explosions brought to 100 the number of people killed in the capital so far in November, up from 62 in October.
The deadliest blast — a car bomb driven by a suicide bomber — killed at least 11 people and wounded 26 others at the entrance to al Hoot prison in north Baghdad, security officials said.
Hours later, a magnetic bomb attached to a civilian car exploded near to the Baghdad International Fair Ground in central Baghdad, killing two civilians and wounding four.
A rocket slammed into the fortified Green Zone that houses the U.S. Embassy and the Iraqi government's offices just after 4 p.m. The rocket struck in a parking lot near the city's convention center, which houses the Iraqi parliament. No casualties were reported.
The attacks fed concerns that violence will rise after U.S. forces are withdrawn. The deadline for all American military troops to be out of Iraq is Dec. 31, though it's thought likely that the American withdrawal will be completed before then. Fewer than 20,000 American forces remain in Iraq.
Iraqis offered a variety of explanations for the attacks.
Ahmed Abbawi, a baker in Baghdad's Karrada district, blamed former members of the outlawed Baath party of Saddam Hussein and predicted they would make an effort to take control of Iraq after the U.S. withdrawal is complete.
"It is their best chance," he said. "The government is not really in control. I can't say for sure that the (Iraqi security) forces will be able to manage the situation. The situation is frightening."
Violence has tapered off since the height of sectarian fighting in 2006 and 2007, but it is still a near-daily occurrence.
Anees Majid, a college student, fears that Iran will be the biggest challenge after the American military is finally gone.
"With more than 100,000 soldiers in Iraq, America was not able to stop Iran from taking over Iraq," Majid said. "It is true that Iran is a neighbor and that we respect it, but this is our country and it is we who should be running it, not Iran. I am afraid that there might be more killing in order to control the Iraqi people, and we would be back to square one."
Despite the violence, Iraqi security officials say there is no reason to be concerned.
"I am positive that internal security is under control. Our forces have had many years experience now," said Adnan al Asadi, a deputy interior minister. Still, he admitted that many members of the security forces have links to armed groups, both Sunni and Shiite.

Williston State business students take the classroom experience on the road

Williston State business students take the classroom experience on the road
Williston, ND - When it comes education, teachers are challenged with coming up with innovative ways to keep students engaged and passionate about learning. Recently, some business students from Williston State College visited with business professionals in Minot, N.D. for their Business Ethics course.
"This idea of visiting first-hand with industry leaders was actually the students' idea," Program Coordinator and Assistant Professor of Business, Serena Christianson stated. For the Business Ethics course this fall, students were introduced to a number of issues pertaining to this subject for the first half of the semester (such as globalization, corporate social responsibility, accounting practices, safety and environmental protection, truth in marketing, workers' rights, and information protection). After that unit, students applied these concepts to a classic business case study: Starbucks. While reading about Starbucks, students suggested, in a half-joking manner, that they needed to visit a Starbucks to really experience what they were discussing in class.
"I thought the idea had some merit, so I proposed the idea to the Business Technology Department Chair (Ken Quamme), and he was all in favor of it," Christianson added. As a group, the class brainstormed how to expand on this idea and developed a list of different industries and businesses they wanted to meet with while in Minot (the nearest city with a Starbucks store). On November 19, the class, along with Christianson and Quamme, travelled to Minot and visited KK Bold to discuss issues within the marketing and advertising industries, along with other issues relating to work ethics. Stephanie Schoenrock, Account Services Director at KK Bold shared, "I was impressed by how well informed the WSC Business Ethics students were. Based on their questions and our discussion, it's clear to me these students will take what they've learned in the classroom and apply it to their careers. It was a real pleasure to meet with students who have so much leadership potential."
After KK Bold, they met with employees at Starbucks Café in Barnes & Noble to hear first-hand accounts of working for both Starbucks and Barnes & Noble, and concluded their visit by meeting with leaders from Dakota Square Mall's management team to discuss decisions regarding safety, leasing, retail, and operations.
Cierra Aamodt, Class of 2014 - Associate of Applied Science in Business Management student from Williston, ND, thought, "The trip to Minot was a very fun experience. It was a really great way to make real-life connections with what we had learned in class with the real business world." The students thoroughly enjoyed the trip, learning not only about themselves, but what is expected of a business professional. "I not only learned new things, but it changed my perspective of the business industry. The leaders at each company we visited showed knowledge and passion for what they do and truly inspired me to do something I am passionate about," added Molly Li, Class of 2014 - Associate of Arts from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada.
This is just the beginning for new and innovative ways of learning to be introduced in the classroom. "We as a department have talked about how we can integrate other tools and techniques besides traditional lecturing. Many of the courses at Williston State are using technology for resources, using digital corkboards, presentation tools, simulations, you name it. It's a lot of fun to take ideas from the students and make it work for the course," added Christianson.
The business management program at Williston State College includes various options for students looking to go into management, marketing, sales, accounting, IT, international business, corporate fitness, recreation management, finance, economics, and more. Registration for spring 2014 classes at Williston State College is currently underway and the semester beings on January 14.
If you are interested in learning more about this program, you can contact Program Coordinator Serena Christianson at email@example.com or 701-774-4526. For any other information about Williston State College, please visit willistonstate.edu or stop by 1410 University Avenue.

How Some States Are Spending Foreclosure Settlement Money Is Far From Settling
Blog post • May 19, 2012 18:15 EDT
It's pretty hard to find a single housing advocate or foreclosure defense attorney, myself included, who didn't find the national mortgage settlement to be, at the very least, flawed.
It may have been a necessary step to getting the housing market back on track, but we know that it didn't come close to compensating homeowners who had been illegally kicked out of their homes, and in the end, the banks are getting off remarkably light for their robosigning crimes.
Which is why what a multitude of states are doing with some of the banks money is downright revolting.
At least a dozen states are taking tens of millions of dollars in direct payments from the settlement and treating them like a slush fund.
Let me explain.
Part of the settlement included $2.5 billion that was given outright to the states. Florida took in just over $334 million.
The settlement calls for these dollars to be used to "to avoid preventable foreclosures, to ameliorate the effects of the foreclosure crisis, to enhance law enforcement efforts to prevent and prosecute financial fraud, or unfair or deceptive acts or practices and to compensate the States for costs resulting from the alleged unlawful conduct of the Defendants."
But much like much of the settlement overall, there is nothing in this language that has any real measure of enforcement. Some states are flat out ignoring these instructions and doing whatever they want with the money they are getting off the backs of good honest homeowners.

BOSTON, Mass. - With another match changing performance from the tournament's Most Outstanding Player Patsy Boland (Chicago, Ill.) volleyball won their fifth straight Little East Conference tournament title as they defeated the second-seeded Owls of Keene State College by the final score of 3-1 Sunday afternoon at the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium.
The win secures the Beacons (21-15) automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Division III tournament which is scheduled to begin this Friday at a location that will be announced tomorrow afternoon during the NCAA selection show. Start time for the selection show is scheduled for 11 a.m. at http://www.ncaa.com/live/player?vid=2013/1302&date=2013/11/11.
Boland's match-high 13 kills brought her weekend total to 26 kills respectively as the Chicago native was more than consistent in the two victories. Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, Calif.) also matched her teammate in the kill's category and finished with 13 digs.
In the opening game, the Beacons came out firing as they jumped out to a 17-4 lead to start of Sunday's championship match. The Beacons were hitting all their spots while also keeping the Owls off balance with a variety of serves.
Keene State (20-13) did manage to claw back into the match, but it was too little too late as the Beacons cruised to a 25-14 decision. However the momentum quickly shifted to the Owls in the second game as they took advantage of some early errors by UMB. They would eventually double-up the Beacons on the scoreboard (16-8), but the early lead did not last as the Beacons came storming back. UMB would go on a 9-4 run to cut the huge Keene State deficit down to three (20-17). The Owls did manage another strong push to move within two points of clinching the game.
Not ready to give-up and move onto the third game, the Beacons fought back yet again this time rattling off five straight points to make it 23-22. Keene State moved into game point (24-22) with a kill by Madeline Nossif. The Beacons then made it a one point game on a kill by Boland (24-23). Unfortunately the game would go to the Owls on a Nossif kill that landed between two Beacons players.
The third game was a back-and-forth exchange from start to finish with neither earning a lead larger than two points. Both teams were nearly identical offensively with Keene scoring 14 kills as compared to UMB's 13. The turning point of the game came when UMB and Keene were deadlocked at 19-19. The Beacons scored back-to-back kills from Porter and Julia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) to make it 21-19. Keene did manage to tie the game with a quick two score run. The two squads then exchanged points to make it 22-22. Keene State regained the lead on a kill by Samantha Branning.
Following a Beacons timeout, UMass tied the match at 23 all on another clutch kill from Boland. UMB then took a 24-23 lead on a Keene State attack error. The game-winning point was the result of a Bri Sousa (Swansea, Mass.) and Boland block to put UMB up two games to one.
The dramatic ending to the third game clearly took the wind out of the Owls sails as UMB just cruised in the fourth game. After a quick exchange in the beginning of the fourth, the Beacons would go on one of their biggest runs of the year to defeat Keene State 25-9.
For the Beacons they managed to overcome the two tough middle games to hit a combined .247 on the day. The Beacons finished with 54 kills on 150 attempts. Setter Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.) tallied a match-high 45 assists and finished with 11 digs and a pair of aces. Murphy was the third Beacon to finish in double-figures as she scored 11 kills and a match-high .429 hitting percentage.
At Left: Freshman Patsy Boland was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Little East Conference tournament after leading the Beacons to a 3-1 win over Keene State College.
At the net Sousa, who struggled early-on bounced back in a big way especially in the fourth game. The sophomore middle finished with five block assists and one solo block and also had seven kills. Proving to be the most dominant at the end line was Porter as she finished with five of the Beacons 17 aces. Keene State managed just three aces in the entire match.
Defensively Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) was solid from start to finish as she recorded 26 digs to lead four Beacons players that finished with 10 or more digs. Pollock managed 11 digs to go with her impressive 45 helpers to earn the Beacons second double-double of the contest.
For the Owls, sophomore Angela Silveri combined for 13 kills, followed by Nossif who had nine. Alexis Michael tallied 22 assists and had nine digs. Sammy Dormio and Kaitlyn Boyer each recorded a team-best 16 digs.
The title marks the fifth straight for the Beacons tying the conference record originally set by Western Connecticut State University (1999-2003). Today's match marked only the first time during the Beacons run to five straight titles that they lost a game, having defeated all previous opponents 3-0.

Minnesota Vikings Tickets
Minnesota Vikings Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
One more year in the brutal cold of TCF Bank Stadium for the Vikes, who move into their brand new stadium in downtown Minneapolis in 2016. 2014 was a transitional year for the team in which they learned a lot about their future. They have a new starting quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater who took over early in the season. Bridgewater went 6-6 in 12 starts. Adrian Peterson is back after a year of legal troubles, a necessary return over the inconsistent play of Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon. Their biggest concern even before letting Greg Jennings walk in free agency is the wide receiver core, which lacks both talent and depth. Cordarelle Patterson will need to break out as he was supposed to last year and it's a free for all after that. They drafted for value this spring, going mostly defensive. CB Trae Waynes and LB Eric Kendricks will bolster a defense that already ranked 14th overall and 7th in pass defense. Bridgewater's talented, but he doesn't have much to work with unless Peterson can carry the load on his own. The Minnesota Vikings operate temporarily at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The Vikes have one Super Bowl title, in 1969, four Super Bowl appearances (none since 1976), 18 division championships, and 27 playoff appearances all time. Their only two NFC North titles came in 2008 and 2009, but a late season run helped them earn a wild card berth in 2012. The Vikings are coached by Mike Zimmer, who enters his second season as coach with a young roster that has seen significant change in recent years. Bridgewater could be the key piece, however, as a consistent quarterback to build around is something the team hasn't had since Daunte Culpepper. Minnesota plays in the Hall of Fame Game against Pittsburgh this summer, and in the regular season hosts Detroit, San Diego, Kansas City, St. Louis, Green Bay, Seattle, Chicago, and the NY Giants.

The process that led to the approval of the Lexington Club housing development in St. Charles ended up confusing some of those involved in the debate, and it left some residents believing that their voices weren't heard.
There were significant changes in direction from members of the St. Charles City Council, and they took place without explanation for those who showed up to the meeting Monday. And one resident who wanted to give public comment at that meeting felt shut out. That is not a victory for the city.
Lexington Club is planned for the former Applied Composites site. The property is bordered by State and Dean streets to the south, the Chicago and N.W. Railroad to the north, Fifth Street to the east and 12th Street to the west.
Officials in May 2012 appeared to strongly support the project plan, with six voting to approve it, in the Planning and Development Committee. Then, on Dec. 10, there was an indication that the plan was headed for rejection when the committee voted against the tax increment financing funds, with only two members voting for it. Less than a month later, on Monday, two votes changed – from council members Jim Martin and Jon Monken – leading to a split decision, with Mayor Don DeWitte casting the deciding vote that gave the go-ahead to both the plans and the TIF.
And at that meeting, resident Brian LaVolpe said he was attempting to make his way to a podium to give public comment, but he didn't make it in time before DeWitte adjourned the meeting.
LaVolpe noted he helped gather 400 signatures from those against the project. A significant number of people attended the last meeting. It's obvious there was a great deal of public interest in the project.
So the residents who opposed the plan didn't get an explanation of why it went through. That gave credence to their contention that their pleas went on deaf ears. And while we appreciate the eventual comments from Martin and Monken in a story that ran Thursday in the Kane County Chronicle, they also should have been made to those who were at the meeting. When there is tension and controversy, such efforts go a long way.
That's not to say that every project that draws a vocal opposition should be voted down. If that were the case, nothing ever would be built. It's predictable that such a development would draw opposition. But when pushing a plan through, a city's leaders owe residents a reason. And if the opponents want to speak, the city's leader should make sure the citizens have had the opportunity – and the citizens should also make sure that they speak up in time. It is, after all, their city.

Community Developments Investments (August 2013)
Open for Business: U.S. Bank's Experience in Indian Country
Melissa Borino, Senior Vice President, Community Affairs, U.S. Bank
Juanita Yost, Reporting and Communication Coordinator, Office of Corporate Citizenship & Financial Education, U.S. Bank
At U.S. Bank, community development means investing in people and their hopes and dreams for the future. We do that by providing products and services that meet the needs of diverse populations and serve as a social and economic foundation for achieving safe and secure housing, productive small businesses, and culturally vibrant communities.
Diversity and inclusion are entrenched in our interactions and results. To be the bank of choice, we offer the innovative products and services that our diverse individual and business customers need to achieve their goals. To be the partner of choice, we engage the talents and services of diverse suppliers and make a meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work.
One way we serve our diverse customer base is by fostering long-term partnerships through which we create customized solutions for each community we serve.
That has been our approach with our Native American individual, tribal government, and tribal-owned entity customers. While the majority of the products we offer are mainstream financial tools, they are delivered in a way that meets the unique needs of this community.
Understanding the needs and cultural values of all the customers we serve is crucial to our service. The needs we have identified for Native American individuals and tribal entities center on job creation, health care, social services, and economic development. We have accomplished this by recognizing their desire to remain independent and self-sufficient while sustaining their way of life and values.
Two-way communication and understanding with our partners is required—our customers should feel as comfortable working with us as we feel working with them. We work hard to earn this trust.
Challenges to overcome or work through include recognizing that tribal entities are sovereign nations. Bankers need to understand the sovereign immunity doctrine, which may require special and sometimes challenging documentation. Bankers also need to understand the political nature of the tribes they are working with and develop strong relationships with members of the Tribal Council and Business Council, remaining aware of any changes in the councils. A person meeting with these councils is meeting with a nation's top government officials. The Tribal Council and Business Council members are elected by the majority vote of their nation's citizens.
Below are several examples of how U.S. Bank has successfully provided loans, investments, and services in Indian Country.
Lending: Gila River Indian Reservation, Ariz.
In 2012, U.S. Bank provided a $1 million Small Business Administration 7(a) loan to a business owner who wanted to expand his facility to a vacant building on the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona. The mission of this innovative business is to create, design, and implement unique nutritional concepts and products to improve the health and well-being of animals and people worldwide.
The proposed business expansion was expected to directly benefit the Gila River Indian Reservation by providing income to the community as well as offering the possibility of future jobs for workers from the tribe. Financing the project involved some unique circumstances, given the facility's location on an Indian reservation. The business owner had to have the lease approved by a tribal committee and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, which resulted in a longer loan process than was originally planned. But patience and attention to detail and Gila River Tribe requirements resulted in a successful loan and business expansion.
Investing: Pueblo of Laguna, N.M.
U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation (USBCDC), the community investment subsidiary of U.S. Bank, is the nation's leading new markets tax credit (NMTC) investor, specializing in making and managing federal and state tax credit equity investments that support business growth and job creation and spur economic development in underserved communities across the country.
In Pueblo of Laguna, a reservation in central New Mexico west of Albuquerque, USBCDC invested nearly $2.7 million in NMTC equity to help finance the construction of a new grocery store. The reservation covers 875 square miles in Cibola, Sandoval, Valencia, and Bernalillo counties and includes six villages, but currently there is no modern, full-service grocery store within 30 miles in either direction on Interstate Highway 40. The new store will replace the community's only grocery, an outdated, 30-year-old store that is structurally unsound. The new store will offer healthy foods and have additional freezer and storage capacity, a deli, bakery, and other amenities, plus a small Ace Hardware store, thus bringing much benefit to pueblo members and the surrounding low-income communities. This redevelopment will retain 30 full-time jobs, of which 63 percent are to be filled by pueblo members and 76 percent by Native Americans.
Two additional and complementary NMTC investments, in which USBCDC committed a total of $8.3 million of NMTC equity, are helping to finance the multimillion-dollar exploration, drilling, and construction of a new water and waste system located on the east side of the pueblo near pueblo-owned commercial properties. The new water supply, part of an aggressive economic development plan to create new jobs on the pueblo, will expand water availability and quality, address serious health concerns, provide improved fire protection, and allow the pueblo to attract additional commercial development.
By utilizing the NMTC Program and leveraging its available resources, Pueblo of Laguna has gained access to critically needed capital so that it can focus more of its efforts on its vision of preserving the pueblo's beliefs and ensuring a vibrant future woven with the threads of love, respect, and self-discipline.
Programming and Services: Nebraska and New Mexico
At U.S. Bank, we believe in investing in education. Providing opportunities for children and adults to learn and apply the skills necessary to create brighter futures fosters communities that are progressive and self-sufficient, and we are committed to supporting our communities by empowering individuals and small businesses through financial education.
In 2012, we hosted small business boot camps in the Nebraska towns of Lawrence, Omaha, and Lincoln. The workshops featured Native American national speaker and author Dr. Beverly Browning.
We also worked with the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska to offer the Northern Ponca Housing Authority (NPHA) mortgage program in a focused area that represents the original Ponca homeland, which consists of the eastern half of Nebraska and part of Iowa. NPHA low-income housing programs range from down-payment assistance to help with HUD Section 184 mortgage applications. Mortgages have been successfully closed for Ponca tribe members residing off tribal lands in Lincoln, Omaha, and Norfolk, Neb.
In New Mexico, our partnership with the New Mexico Tribal Homeownership Coalition supports homeownership initiatives. The coalition consists of professionals dedicated to increasing housing opportunities for tribal members through advocacy, technical and financial assistance, and implementation of housing programs. All coalition members are volunteers, and their mission is one our staff has been committed to for more than 15 years. Collectively, the coalition is a resource for tribes interested in developing homeownership programs on their reservations.
The moral of the story: Offer good products and services to your diverse individual and business customers and help them achieve their goals. Work through any challenges or perceived obstacles and build strong relationships. There are many lending and investment opportunities with Native American individuals, small businesses, and tribal entities. Indian Country is open for business.

NBA Capsules
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Lance Stephenson scored 25 points and the Indiana Pacers rallied from an early deficit to beat Philadelphia 99-90 on Monday night, handing the 76ers their franchise-record 21st straight loss.
Paul George had 24 points for the Pacers, who staked the Sixers to a 15-6 lead before taking the lead and pulling away. George Hill scored 11 points, Ian Mahinmi had 10 and David West grabbed 12 rebounds.
Thaddeus Young had 23 points to lead the Sixers, who tied the Detroit Pistons for the sixth-longest losing streak in NBA history. The Pistons lost 21 straight bridging the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons.
The Cleveland Cavaliers set the NBA record for consecutive losses with 26, in the 2010-11 season.
The Sixers haven't won since Jan. 29 at Boston. Evan Turner, now with the Pacers, hit the winning shot in that 95-94 win by Philadelphia. Turner, traded to Indiana with Lavoy Allen on Feb. 20 for Danny Granger and a draft pick, had four points and seven rebounds against his former team Monday.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Paul Millsap scored 28 points, and the Atlanta Hawks snapped the Charlotte Bobcats' eight-game home winning streak.
It was Atlanta's 11th straight win over Charlotte. The Hawks have won four straight, pulling within 1 1/2 games of the Bobcats for the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Kemba Walker led the Bobcats with 20 points.
Al Jefferson, who was selected the Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday, had 16 points and 12 rebounds for his 30th double-double of the season but was just 6 of 15 from the field.
NEW YORK (AP) – Deron Williams scored 28 points and even dunked for the first time this season, leading the Brooklyn Nets past the Phoenix Suns and extending their home winning streak to nine.
Williams shot 11 of 13 from the field and looks all the way back after ankle problems wrecked his first half of the season. He was two points off his season high and rose above the rim to throw down a dunk that finished off a fourth-quarter fast break started by Andrei Kirilenko's steal.
Joe Johnson added 19 points for the Nets, on their longest home winning streak since winning nine straight from March 15-April 6, 2006.
Markieff Morris scored 18 points and Gerald Green 17 for the Suns, who were seeking a perfect three-game trip against Atlantic Division teams after winning at Boston and Toronto.
CHICAGO (AP) – Kevin Durant finished with 35 points and 12 rebounds, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Chicago Bulls.
Russell Westbrook added 17 points after sitting out the previous day to rest his surgically repaired knee, and the Thunder rebounded from their most lopsided loss of the season. They went on a 13-point run after the Bulls scored eight straight early in the fourth to cut the lead to one and pulled this one out after falling by 23 at home to Dallas on Sunday.
Durant ran his streak of games with 25 or more points to 32, the longest in the NBA since Michael Jordan did it in 40 in a row during the 1986-87 season. He also chipped in with five assists.
Chicago's Joakim Noah, who's been hearing "MVP!" chants lately, shot 2 of 8 but finished with nine points, 12 rebounds and nine assists.
HOUSTON (AP) – Terrence Jones scored 30 points and the Houston Rockets ended a three-game skid with their most lopsided victory of the season.
Dwight Howard was out with an ankle strain, leaving the Rockets without him for the first time this season. But they still had no problem handling the Utah Jazz, who have lost five in a row and have one of the worst records in the Western Conference.
Houston led 92-69 entering the fourth, and the big advantage allowed an overworked James Harden, who had played more than 43 minutes in three of the previous four games, to rest a bit as he watched the fourth quarter from the bench. Harden finished with 15 points.
Derrick Favors had 15 points for the Jazz a night after scoring a career-high 28.
DALLAS (AP) – Dirk Nowitzki led another balanced scoring effort with 19 points, and the Dallas Mavericks opened a franchise-record eight-game homestand by holding on for a victory over the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics trailed by double digits twice in the second half before getting within one in the final minute but couldn't avoid an 0-15 finish on the road against the Western Conference.
The Mavericks followed their first win in more than two years over possible first-round playoff foe Oklahoma City by taking their third straight to get a season-high 14 games over .500.
Jerryd Bayless had 19 points and Kris Humphries matched a season high with 14 rebounds for the Celtics, who lost their fifth straight game and 12th in the past 15.
DENVER (AP) – Reserve J.J. Hickson had 21 points and Ty Lawson scored eight of his 19 in a late fourth-quarter run, helping the Denver Nuggets end the Los Angeles Clippers' 11-game winning streak.
The Clippers' streak was tied for second-longest in franchise history. Their longest, 17 in a row last season, also was snapped by Denver at Pepsi Center.
Kenneth Faried added 18 points and 16 rebounds in a duel in the paint against Blake Griffin, who finished with 26 points and 12 boards.
Down 98-96 with 4:21 remaining, Lawson hit a 3-point to give the Nuggets a lead they wouldn't relinquish. It was part of a 14-2 run to close out the game. The Clippers didn't score again after DeAndre Jordan's dunk at 3:31.

Geez, Ayase is really annoying. Men, this is what the problem is with yanderes. Even after explaining everything to her in truth, she still calls Kyosuke a liar just because she hates him. I can still hope that she'll come to understand that what he said wasn't exactly what she thought he meant. The way I see it, Kyosuke didn't say he's in love with his sister. Well, perhaps he did but he didn't mean it in such a way that he seeks something romantic with her. The fact is that it's thanks to those dirty games that he and Kirino came in contact with each other again. In a lot of ways, he's right to say that those games are the bond of their love because it built, or re-built a relationship between them, and it's thankfully not an incest one.

Looking at that one line Kirino said before kicking Kyousuke, it seems to fit with my initial thoughts on how this developed. Both anime and LN seem to suggest that Kyousuke himself didn't like the way their relationship was, the way it was so utterly frigid, but he didn't know how to fix it and didn't want to do something that would blow up on him. At some point he probably did ignore her a little much, which may have started her changing, but the way she changed made it much, much harder for him to do anything for her or stick his neck out for her. This made his level of attention drop even further, which fueled her fires.
If "family" love had come to be cold like that, and the sibling relationship didn't seem to work at all, then in her desire to have a real love between them might have made a part of her long for an entirely different kind of relationship. Mix that with all the pressures and isolation of her overachieving and the insecurities of puberty, and it would be easy for her to grow attached to those sorts of things.
One thing for sure is that she's far lonelier than she'd seem, even without the otaku stuff. Being too attractive, or too smart or athletic, can make it hard to find people to really open up to. I mean, even if she didn't have something of this level, everyone sees her as the perfect, beautiful, popular girl who never does anything wrong. That's not an image that will allow deep connections.

Yandere doesn't fit Ayase, sure Yandere-like, but not straight on Yandere. She was able to distance herself from what she disapproves of and not become psychotically attached. But I think we all agree that she's nuts to a certain degree though
Ahhh... can't wait for the next episode, wanna see some jealous Kirino

It's just that since she's working as a gavure model which is at least somewhat erotic, she ought to have an understanding for other forms of erotic entertainment.
Being actively involved in the creation of mildly erotic material on the one hand side, but condemning other erotic material on the other hand side, makes her quite an hypocrite.
So sad that she turned out to be so annoying

I literally burst out laughing during the scene in the rain in the beginning. It was so over the top I assumed someone was thinking the whole thing, but it turned out to be real, ridiculous. Ayase seems kind of insane, not the kind of character I predicted her to be.
Was of the episode was okay, I hope they go back to the whole "you've left me alone all this time" thing that Kirino blurted out. That is godlike as always.

The beginning of this episode with the over-dramatic rain and talk by Ayase makes me think that maybe it was a parody of sorts. I mean, School Days (as did other anime and games) made a cameo appearance
Although Ayase did come off a bit stubborn, I still think she's not as annoying as some make her out to be. Kirino on the other hand seems to be progressing well after the first 4 episodes, loving her development so far I've seen a lot of people taking Kirino's behavior just a little too seriously here, it should be taken as comedy for the most part (I.e. - Aside from the revelation that Kyousuke has been ignoring her for the majority of her life.)
I can't wait to see more Kyousuke x Kirino development myself Although the whole cast is pretty fun, I'm definitely enjoying this series.

a few things that makes me want to facepalm whenever I read other people's discussion (this board seem to be more intelligent though). A few points had been covered, but there are just some that I want to confirm here. Correct me if I see things wrongly:
1. Kirino "ditching" her otaku friends.
The way I see it it's just superficial lie said to Ayase, in order to maintain her image. I don't get how some people kept thinking that she's totally ignoring kuroneko and saori. They both know that Kirino tend to want to hide her hobby from other friends.
2. Ayase flips too quickly
When idolisation goes into the extreme it can bring devastated consequences when your idol contain traits which you despise. She's not that dumb not to notice the crowd near the Big Site, the suspicion would had been building up during the conversation as well.
3. Ayase breaking up with Kirino just because of the hobby
Continue on with the idolisation mentality, I see it more as her using their friendship as the wager in order to convince Kirino to return to the perfect image Ayase had in mind. As shown later in the episode, Ayase still values their friendship over the petty detail.
4. The sudden "acceptance" of Kirino's hobby from Ayase
One of the ways to stop a fight is step in and be the common enemy. From Ayase's point of view, which outcome is worse: step away and let the perverted sis-con taint her idol, or keep in close contact and be Kirino's bodyguard? The choice is an obvious one from my perspective. It's not willing to accept the hobby, but more of the tactic of using the friendship as wager is crumbling due to the new development. There are better ways to still convince her without breaking up.
which brings me to the last point which I'm still confused
5. the "lying" big brother in the title
Just what was she referring to in that word? The gentle friendly older brother or the perverted sis-con? The general consensus seem to be the later, that she sees right through the lies. However I think the possibility that the first option can be true is still good. Ayase knew nothing about Kyousuke other than what Kirino told her so far, "disgusting" and various other derogatory descriptions. It's easy to take those words with a grain of salt, however it's easier to use the "annoying big brother" as the scapegoat for Kirino's odd behaviour than to accept that Kirino is not what she thought she is.
Even if Kyousuke's "confession" is so outrageous, since she knew nothing about him it's still possible from her perspective that those might be true.
sorry for the long post, just want to clear up some common controversial points in this episode.

Sure she didn't mean it, and it was uttered in panic, but that doesn't change the fact it was insensitive of her to say it within their earshot. As understanding as Saori and Kuroneko were of the situation, her comments probably hurt all the same.
I can overlook her abuse of Kyousuke (), but I really hope she makes amends for that comment in the future.
Yeah, I think you've said it all - Ayase calls him a liar because after thinking it over she realised his declaration of 'we collect the porn because they're a symbol of our forbidden love' was probably not true (judging by Kirino's protestations, maybe?).
However, she still blames him for turning Kirino to anime/porn and will be keeping watch in case it ever turns real (wincest )

On a warm July day back in 2008, Grayson leaders broke ground on the first county school construction program in more than 25 years.
Superintendent Elizabeth Thomas said that day that "young people deserve a school equipped with the latest technology."
Former County Administrator Bill Ring stated that with the new facility, students "don't have to take a back seat anymore."
Seventeen months later, a beautiful school stands where an open field once was, ready to educate the future of Grayson County.

Resolutions of the Faculty
Resolutions of the Faculty of Pharmacy for coursework awards
These resolutions apply to all undergraduate and postgraduate coursework award courses in the Faculty, unless specifically indicated otherwise. Students enrolled in postgraduate research awards should consult the resolutions for their course.These resolutions must be read in conjunction with applicable University By-laws, Rules and policies including (but not limited to) the University of Sydney (Coursework) Rule 2000 (the 'Coursework Rule'), the resolutions for the course of enrolment, the University of Sydney (Student Appeals against Academic Decisions) Rule 2006 (as amended) and the Academic Board policies on Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism.
Part 1: Course enrolment
1 Enrolment restrictions
Except with the permission from the Dean, a student may not enrol in units of study with a total value of more than 24 credit points in either semester one or two, 12 credit points in the summer session and 6 credit points in the winter session.
2 Time Limits
A student must complete all the requirements for a master's degree within four calendar years of first enrolment.
A student must complete all the requirements for a graduate diploma within four calendar years of first enrolment or six calendar years if enrolled part time.
A student must complete all the requirements for a graduate certificate within two calendar years of first enrolment (except the Graduate Certificate in Pharmacy Practice which must be completed within five calendar years of first enrolment).
A student must complete all the requirements for a bachelor's degree or undergraduate advanced diploma within ten calendar years of first enrolment.
3 Suspension, discontinuation and lapse of candidature
A candidate who wishes to suspend their candidature must apply, in writing, to the Faculty. The application must be received by the Faculty prior to the census date of the relevant semester.
A candidate may apply for a period of suspension for up to two semesters. Should a candidate wish to suspend their candidature for more than the approved period another application must be made to the Faculty prior to the census date of the relevant semester. If the candidate has previously had two semesters of suspension, or if an application is submitted after the census date for that period, the application will be considered by the Faculty.
Part 2: Unit of study enrolment
4 Cross institutional study
Provided permission has been obtained in advance, the Dean may permit a student to complete a unit of study at another institution and have that unit credited to the student's course requirements, provided that:
The unit of study content is not taught in any corresponding unit of study at the University; or
The student is unable, for good reason, to attend a corresponding unit of study at the University.
Cross institutional study is regarded as another form of credit and will be counted as such when considering eligibility.
5 International Exchange
Part 3: Studying and Assessment
6 Attendance
Students are required to be in attendance at the correct time and place of any formal or informal examinations. Non attendance on any grounds insufficient to claim special consideration will result in the forfeiture of marks associated with the assessment. Participation in a minimum number of assessment items may be included in the requirements specified for a unit of study.
Students are expected to attend a minimum of 85% of compulsory activities for a unit of study, unless granted exemption by the Dean, Associate Dean or coordinator. The Dean, Associate Dean or coordinator most concerned may determine that a student fails a unit of study because of inadequate attendance. Alternatively, at their discretion, they may set additional assessment items where attendance is lower than 90%.
7 Late submission policy
It is expected that unless an application for special consideration has been approved, students will submit all assessment for a unit of study on the due date specified. If the assessment is completed or submitted within an approved period of extension, no academic penalty will be applied to that piece of assessment.
If an extension is either not sought, not granted or is granted but work is submitted after the extended due date, the late submission of assessment will result in an academic penalty as follows:
For work submitted after the deadline but up to three calendar days late, a penalty of 15 per cent of the maximum mark awardable for the assignment will apply.
For work submitted after 3 days and less than one week after the deadline, a penalty of 30 per cent of the maximum mark awardable for the assignment will apply.
For work submitted more than one week late but less than two weeks after the deadline, a penalty of 50 per cent of the maximum mark awardable for the assignment will apply.
8 Special consideration for illness, injury or misadventure
Special consideration is a process that affords equal opportunity to students who have experienced circumstances that adversely impact their ability to adequately complete an assessment task in a unit of study. The Coursework Rule provides full details of the University policy. The procedures for applying for special consideration are described in each unit of study outline.
9 Concessional pass
10 Re-assessment
In this Faculty re-assessment is offered to students whose performance is in the prescribed range and circumstances.
Re-assessment may be permitted if students in their final year fail a single compulsory assessment resulting in a grade of fail in only that unit of study, preventing them from completing the degree that year. A grade of 50 pass is the maximum grade a student can achieve if they pass the final year rule in the assessment.
Students who have successfully requested special consideration may be allowed to sit the exam or submit the required work at a negotiated date that should not be longer than the period of incapacitation, and in any case normally not longer than 3 months after the original examination or submission date. After this time the student will be considered to have discontinued with permission. Marks will be awarded at full value for re-assessment where special consideration is approved.
Part 4: Progression, Results and Graduation
11 Satisfactory Progress
The Faculty will monitor students for satisfactory progress towards the completion of their award course. In addition to the common triggers used to identify students not meeting academic progression requirements, (as defined by the Progression requirements of the Coursework Rule), students must pass any unit of study identified in the course resolutions as being critical to progression through the course.
12 Weighted Average Mark (WAM)
|sum(Wc x Mc)
Where Wc is the unit of study credit points x the unit weighting and Mc is the mark achieved for the unit. The mark used for units with a grade AF is zero. Pass/ fail units and credited units from other institutions are not counted.
