Reporter-speak: Words and phrases PR pros should know
The nomenclature of a newsroom shouldn't be a mystery. Mastering a few key terms will help you communicate with journalists, while bolstering your credibility among members of the Fourth Estate.
An account executive recently walked into my office with a look on his face that said he either drank bad milk or his favorite team just lost. He looked at me and nervously asked, "What is a vo/sot?"
A reporter had just responded to one of his client pitches and said he would do a vo/sot on the story. My AE thought he had failed the client when, in fact, the opposite was true. A vo/sot is a good thing, and he realized as much after I explained to him what it meant.
That got me to thinking that this could be a problem for many PR professionals. I had the good fortune of spending more than 15 years in a newsroom as an anchor, but let's face it, not everyone spends four years of college and a good portion of their life learning about newsroom jargon.
Have no fear—I'll decode some frequently used terms from newsrooms and what they mean:
VO (Voice Over): A reporter might say, "We'll spray your event and get a VO." That's not a disease; it's a good thing. That means they will send a camera crew to your event, usually for 5-10 minutes, and get some video of the event or story you have pitched. If you are watching the news, an anchor will read the story and they will run video over the story. VOs last usually between 15 and 40 seconds, sometimes followed by a graphic, but there is no interview attached. A VO is also used for sports highlights, as well.
VO/SOT (Voice Over/Sound on Tape): This is an expanded version of the VO. An anchor reads the story using video of your client then an interview with your client or representative. This usually will run about 45 seconds and allows the anchor to talk about your story in addition to giving your client the opportunity for a quick interview that will run on the air. In sports, this is used on game day where the anchor reads over the highlights and then says, "Coach Brown had this to say about the win…"
PKG (Package): As it sounds, a package comprises video and interviews coupled with a reporter voice packaged in about 1:15 to 1:30. This depends on the story and time of year. An evergreen story will run no more than 1:30. A breaking news story could run less or more, depending on content, and an investigative or sweeps piece (stories in February, May, July, or November; please see later entry later on Ratings/Sweeps) could run upward of five minutes-but those are deep digs into bigger-picture stories.
For example, this story on a high school football coach who needed a kidney transplant has video of him coaching, at the hospital, and after he received the kidney from his sister-in-law.
Kicker: You just pitched a story, and the reporter said, "Great—that sounds like a kicker." There will be no physical violence involved— the kicker is the last story in a newscast or a story that transitions out of serious news into well, fluff. Remember the squirrel on water skis? The ribbon-cutting of the new YMCA—it's the feel-good story that ends the show. A kicker is usually either a vo or vo/sot, but either way what makes a kicker powerful for the client is that when the story is finished, there is usually talk between the anchors before the show ends, which is an added value to your client and their story.
AP Style: The first book I give my staff when they are hired is "The Associated Press Stylebook." If you follow AP style, you will make a lot of friends in the newsroom. You also have a better chance of your release, copy, or content going in a paper or online without any editing. Here's a little secret; television reporters and anchors do not follow AP writing style, they talk off the cuff, but online and print adhere to AP style. To command respect from them, you should as well.
Byline: In newspapers and online stories, you will generally see a byline, which identifies the author. Sometimes the story has a real writer, sometimes the byline says Associated Press, and sometimes, in rare cases, the reporter will put the byline of your PR firm. If you can write in AP style and send a finished product to a media outlet, your will become a trusted source and will not only be a credible source for content, but you will also be a pseudo-writer for the media outlet.
Ratings/sweeps: In TV and radio, this is the most important time of the year for journalists. February, May, July, and November are the four months that media outlets are measured by viewers (Nielsen Ratings). The higher the ratings, the more money they can charge for ads—and the happier the management team is. It is also during these months that reporters file long-form stories or harder hitting, in-depth stories. So, if your store opening pitch isn't resonating during one of those times, that is probably the reason.
Here's a tip on how you can be a part of the story: Talk to reporters a month or two before key ratings periods, and ask them whether they are working on anything specific for sweeps. (See how you are already using reporter-speak?)
Figure out how your client/story can be a part of a bigger story during those times, or how you can position your client to be the story during those months. These are the "teaseable" stories-the stories that you hear, "Coming up tonight at 6:00, you'll never believe what one man did to save his family." Reporters are always required to come up with sweeps stories; help them out, and you will make a friend for life.
There are many other terms that a journalist will throw your way—all of which might sound foreign to you because in a sense they are. Reporter-speak, like any lingo, is learned over time, and the faster you can speak the language of the newsroom, the more productive you will be when talking to reporters.

Biology is the study of the many varieties of life. Source: Wikimedia Commons.
This century is often called the age or the century of biology. Why?
Pigliucci: Largely, I suspect, because of discoveries in genetics and molecular biology, even though it is true that biology throughout the early 21st century has been an exploding science in a variety of areas, ecology and evolutionary biology, for example. But largely I would think the genetics in the first and molecular and evolutionary biology especially in the second half of the 20th century clearly demonstrate that biology is very much relevant to everyday life. We now understand the basics of how human beings are put together. We are even getting to the point of being able to change how you are put together through genetic engineering, so that has definitely marked the century as the century of biology, even though it started out as the century of physics. We marveled at quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity, but it turns out that once in a while biology won in this century.
How can evolution play a role in both the conservation and management of the environment?
Pigliucci: Evolutionary biology is important in conservation because conservation is a particular example of the general problem evolutionary biologists are interested in—dealing with how species expand or contract the environment they occupy. Some species are very successful and they occupy lots of different environments. They spread very rapidly. Some species, on the other hand, are dwindling down to extinction. These two processes are essentially evolutionary processes.
There are changes in populations, demographics, and genetics over time, and so evolutionary biologists spend a lot of time studying what is called biogeography, that is, the study of the distribution of living organisms and what mechanisms determine the biogeography of species. These mechanisms are the same mechanisms that evolutionary biologists have been interested in ever since Darwin. These include
- natural selection
- migration patterns of different species
- the origin of new mutations
- perhaps the change in the DNA that allows certain species to be more successful in a new environment
So evolutionary biology is relevant to conservation biology because conservation biology essentially represents the same sort of basic questions and problems that evolutionary biologists are dealing with.
What about evolution's role in agriculture?
Pigliucci: Well, agriculture is an interesting problem because it represents essentially applied evolution in the sense of human beings using evolutionary processes to improve their crops or their animals. This was noted by Darwin since the 19th century. The main analogy, the reason why we call natural selection natural selection, is because Darwin made the analogy of artificial selection done by plant and animal breeders.
Now in the case of other cultures where the interest in evolutionary biology is not just in the fact that humans are mimicking a natural process, which is in itself very interesting, but also that humans are changing the environment by doing agriculture and by changing the environment, they are posing new challenges to the evolution of species that surround them. When we plant a particular crop in a particular area, for example, all of a sudden that environment has changed, from an ecological perspective, and all the animals and plants that live in that area are now faced with a new environment. A new environment poses an evolutionary challenge. There will be natural selection on insects, for instance, feeding on the new plants to adapt to the new environment. So in some sense agriculture is both an example of how human beings can use evolutionary processes to their advantage but also, in so doing, how people change their environment and cause new natural evolution as a response to the changes.
How does evolution contribute to the understanding of human disease and medicine?
Pigliucci: There is an entire field that has been developed over the last 20 years called evolutionary medicine. The idea of evolutionary medicine is that human beings are animals like any other species. We are not outside of nature. As such we are subject to the same sort of natural phenomena, including natural selection and other types of evolutionary mechanisms. So evolutionary medicine tries to understand the origin of disease, why we have certain kinds of disease, and how we can fight them using evolutionary principles. Here are two examples:
One of the typical examples is the idea that is essentially evolutionary when we use antibiotics for our ailments. We should use antibiotics in an intelligent way. For example, we should be using multiple antibiotics in a careful regimen. If we use single antibiotics and we don't use them carefully enough, what we do is cause natural selection in the pathogen to select for resistance. The origin of resistance in antibiotics is an imminently evolutionary mechanism, and if we understand how evolution works, then we can avoid it or at least we can slow it down.
The same situation goes for the most successful approaches to complex diseases such as HIV/AIDS. One of the best approaches to fight that kind of battle is, in fact, to bombard the population of viruses with a variety of responses, not just with one. For the same reason as multiple antibiotics. The virus evolves very rapidly to respond with resistance to individual medical solutions or medications. When we use multiple ones, what we are doing is using the basic principle of evolution—living organisms simply cannot evolve resistance to complex environments because they cannot count on multiple divisions happening at the same time. That is an important principle that comes out of evolution.
Biotechnology holds great promise; how does evolutionary biology fit in?
Pigliucci: It interacts in a variety of ways, one of which is that a lot of biotechnology does not start from scratch. Biotechnology research companies may design things from scratch, but they look at nature as a starting point and examine what nature has done up to a certain point, depending on the researchers' particular interest. Then they try to improve on nature in a direction that is favorable for humans. In a sense they are doing pretty much the same things that plant breeders and animal breeders have been doing for a long time. You start with something that is already there in nature and has a certain degree of usefulness, and then you improve it by technological means, by artificial selection.
Now, biotechnology, of course, has progressed to creating things that do not exist in nature. However, even these advances have some connection with evolutionary biology. One of my favorite examples is the one of the most profuse tools in biotechnology—using enzymes to splice pieces of DNA at particular locations. These are the basis for what has been made possible through molecular evolution through the second half of the century. Well, it turns out that these enzymes that we use to splice DNA for our own purposes actually evolved in bacteria to protect them from attacks by viruses. So splicing enzymes—enzymes that cut DNA in particular places—are formidable weapons that natural selection evolved in bacteria to protect them from viral attacks. And they work very nicely because those enzymes can recognize the viral host DNA as distinct from bacterial DNA. We, as molecular biologists, have discovered this nice little class of enzymes, and now we are using them for all sorts of interesting things, but in fact we have to thank natural selection for these enzymes.
How does evolution help us understand ourselves?
Pigliucci: Excellent question. It depends, of course, on what one means by "understanding ourselves." I do have an interest in philosophy, for example, and philosophy is that classical area where you go when you want to understand yourself. "Know thyself!" However, today, most philosophers would agree that the understanding of human nature does begin with understanding biology in the sense that one can now possibly grasp what a human being really is. We must also understand the limitations and the characteristics of the human beings that come from our evolutionary history, from our past.
Let me give you an example. As many human beings on this planet, I have had my bouts struggling with overeating. Where does overeating come from? There is a cultural component like having too easy availability of food in Western society. Well, why would ease of availability of food create a problem? It creates a problem because of our evolutionary history. Imagine when we were a species of primates in the open savannah. There were no McDonald's around. And there were no other fast foods, no ease of availability of foods. So we evolved, by natural selection, a tendency to eat whatever contained proteins or sugars that happened to be available as much as possible. That instinct is still with us. The only problem now is that we don't live in the savannah anymore. We live in cities where there are in fact junk food places that are open 24 hours a day. Nowadays the problem has both medical and psychological implications. It costs us hundreds of millions of dollars from the medical perspective. Also many individuals have a problem psychologically with weight, the way they see themselves, and the way they think of themselves. All of this is the result of natural selection, which worked in the past at its best in a particular environment. We have changed our environment, but we have not changed ourselves from a biological perspective, so we are in trouble.
How is evolution important to disciplines other than biology?
Pigliucci: The best example at this point, I guess, would be software engineering. Because of the computer revolution we are now using software that is increasingly sophisticated. The most interesting software that we use is the result, essentially, of the evolution of computer programs that are made to compete against each other. In other words, to make them do whatever human beings want to make them do. A lot are very complex pieces of software. For example, the kind of software that runs the larger operations in airports is just too complicated for a human mind to write. Software engineers use what they refer to as genetic algorithms. It is the idea of writing simpler pieces that engineers then put into competitions against each other. They then evolve by mutating themselves, that is, by essentially inserting random changes into the code and then going through a second round of selection. And this works very nicely! Software engineers have borrowed this process from evolutionary biologists.

Forensics is another example. The ways you interpret and analyze DNA evidence in forensic cases depends on principles of evolution. To be able to say that a DNA match for a suspect is significant to a case, you have to know something about the distribution of that particular kind of DNA in a human population and the frequencies of DNA involved in that population. So you have to know something about how human populations themselves evolve in order to make a more meaningful comparison between the simple suspect data you are analyzing. Forensics would be another example of evolutionary medicine, about how biotechnological and medical research are now able to use exquisite evolutionary principles.
Of course there are the classical areas—agriculture, management of territory, conservation biology, and others. Some of my students who have a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology, instead of becoming college professors, have gone on instead to work for US Fish and Wildlife and the USDA in helping the organizations learn more about managing systems. Well, their knowledge comes from an understanding of evolutionary biology that is the basis of their work. Yes, understanding evolution can help you get a great job!

When Brian Choi was conducting research and completing his rotation at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke, he noticed that due to the high risk of post-surgical hospital-acquired infections, many patients receiving surgical care for their brain tumors were being discharged one to two days after their operations.
"Many of them were being discharged to local hotels or temporary living spaces—close enough to ensure that if any complications were to occur immediately postoperatively, they would be able to return to the hospital to receive care," Choi says. "However, I found that in many cases, patients were coming from great distances to receive care"—and as a result, they felt displaced, isolated, and confused in their temporary post-surgical limbo.
So as a Schweitzer Fellow, Choi—a doctoral degree candidate at Duke University School of Medicine working in brain tumor immunotherapy—developed a service project that provides these patients (and their families) with social support during their time immediately post-discharge.
Why did you decide to develop your particular project?
Prior to applying to the Schweitzer Fellowship, I visited a handful of patients shortly after discharge to gauge the potential opportunity for intervention. During my first trip out, I met a patient who was about to leave his hotel earlier than recommended to make a two-hour drive back home—just because he couldn't find a good place to eat. I spent a couple of moments with this patient and his family and had the opportunity to listen to them share their experience coping with glioblastoma [the most common and aggressive brain tumor in humans]. Before I left, I gave them some simple information about restaurants around the hospital, which they greatly appreciated and thanked me for in an e-mail message days later.
For my Schweitzer project, I wanted to create a group that met the needs of such patients immediately post-craniotomy at Duke. Sometimes, in addition to finding out about restaurants and businesses in the area, patients are curious about relatively simple facts regarding their medications and other postoperative complications.
I think providing some of this information is a great way to get medical students involved early in their training to follow up with patients after they leave the hospital—promoting the idea that treatment for such a debilitating disease does not merely consist of a simple series of chemotherapies and surgeries, but that much more can be done to ease the process of coping during the transitional period as a patient returns home.
What do you hope will be the lasting impact of your project on the community it serves?
Ultimately, I hope that this project will help to promote additional programs designed to enhance follow-up care for patients immediately after discharge from the neurosurgery service. There is always room for improvement in patient care, and I hope to advance opportunities for medical students, in particular, to participate in these activities.
What do you think is the most pressing health-related issue of our time, and how do you think it should be addressed?
Aside from the ostensible debate over healthcare reform, the most pressing health-related issue in our society is perhaps obesity. Aside from its influence on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic morbidities, obesity undoubtedly affects emotional and mental health as well—the latter of which, as an aside, I believe could be considered a close second in terms of a major health-related concern of our time.
What is most concerning about obesity is that so little has been done to reverse the trend of this epidemic both globally and in the United States. The best results will most likely come from increasing education and awareness about lifestyle and diet changes, as well as improved dissemination of information about the negative long-term consequences of obesity. The most effective population to focus these efforts on is probably our youth, as well as their parents, insofar as parents influence their children's future decisions and development.
What has been the most surprising element of your experience as a Schweitzer Fellow?
The most surprising part of my Schweitzer experience so far is the great response and general interest in our project, both by fellow students as well as the administration at Duke. The number of students that have contacted us about our project is significantly greater than what I expected, given that, in general, relatively few students are interested in pursuing neurosurgery as a career. The level of faculty support for our project has also been phenomenal.
What does being a Schweitzer Fellow (and, ultimately, Fellow for Life) mean to you?
Being a Fellow for Life means capitalizing on this year by allowing it influence my future in medicine as I eventually train to treat patients with brain-associated malignancies.
Throughout all the classes involved in my joint-degree program, I never took a course on "how to integrate service into your career." My time this past year with the Schweitzer Fellowship certainly comes close. Over the past year, there have been many opportunities to combine my experiences at work in the hospital and in the laboratory with my Fellowship activities. I hope that the skills I've developed towards that end will weigh heavily on the way I choose to spend my time in the future.

This procedure describes how to give users grace authentications, allowing users to change passwords that have expired.
The grace authentications are intended to be managed by an application that handles password policy request and response controls. The procedure shows a simple example of how to use the control in an application.
You cannot use DSCC to perform this task. Use the command line, as described in this procedure.
Make sure that users have access to an application that uses password policy request and response controls.
The application should ensure that users handle grace authentications properly.
Allow the application to use the password policy controls.
The following commands set an ACI to allow members of a Password Managers role to use the password policy controls:
$ cat ctrl.ldif dn: oid=184.108.40.206.220.127.116.11.184.108.40.206,cn=features,cn=config objectClass: top objectClass: directoryServerFeature oid: 184.108.40.206.188.8.131.52.22.214.171.124 cn: Password Policy Controls aci: (targetattr != "aci") (version 3.0; acl "Password Policy Controls"; allow( read, search, compare, proxy ) roledn = "ldap:///cn=Password Managers,dc=example,dc=com";) $ ldapmodify -a -D cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config -w - -f ctrl.ldif Enter bind password: adding new entry oid=22.214.171.124.184.108.40.206.184.108.40.206,cn=features,cn=config $
The entry under cn=features,cn=config has the sole purpose of allowing you to manage access to operations that use the password policy request and response controls.
Set pwdGraceAuthNLimit in the password policy to the number of authentications to allow after the password has expired.
Make sure that the application guides the end user to change the expired password promptly before grace authentications are exhausted.
The DS5–compatibility-mode password policy is deprecated. You must switch to DS6–mode password policy in this version.

Okay, it's been a few weeks since the Diablo 3 craze hit but I think it's about time for some World of Warcrafty action.
So today we're going to start taking a look at the newly revised talent trees for the various tanking classes but we'll start with the monk Brewmaster and the choices available to them. Keep in mind too that these choices are made with PvE tanking situations in mind.
This is the build that I would recommend: http://mop.wowhead.com/mists-of-pandaria-talent-calculator#n!jX
The choice of Momentum at 15 is mainly due to considering the potentially greater uptime it will have over the others, providing you with more bang for your movement speed talent buck.
At 30, monks have the choice of 3 (generally) healing talents. Of them, I would suggest Zen Sphere, primarily due to the fact that of the three, it's the only one that fcan be used as a self heal, which makes it helpful as an extra little bump to your survivability when you suddenly find yourself low.
At 45 are talents that increase our resource generation. I would suggest taking Chi Brew. While Power Strikes can be very useful for more resource over time, Chi Brew has the benefit of giving you a big bump in chi right when you need it most, which, as a tank, can be more helpful than a steady supply of resource over longer time.
At 60 are the supplemental crowd control talents and these largely come down to preference. I've selected Deadly Reach in this build as I generally find that when I need to instantly CC a mob going after a squishy, it's usually just one mob that they've peeled off me but if you feel the need for the ability to stun a number of enemies in a line or an nova range aoe stun to help get yourself out of tight jams, that's entirely your prerogative.
At 75 are the mitigation talents. Of the three, I would recommend against using Healing Elixir and leave the choice up to you based on preference or fight. I've selected Dampen Harm for this build as it more closely resembles an extra tanking cooldown, working on the next 3 attacks to do a big chunk of damage to you and reducing those. Diffuse Magic can be useful in certain situations as well but as it only works on spell damage and there's no way you can guarantee that the hit that kills you WILL be magical in nature, I'd recommend going for the all-purpose fix of Dampen Harm instead.
At 90 we're treated to our damaging talents and other than recommending against Chi Torpedo, the choice is up to you. Chi Torpedo can be decent because it lacks any inherent cooldown but the problem is that to activate it, you need to use your roll which has the danger of possibly screwing with your positioning while tanking which can be vital. Of the other two options, I've selected Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger for this bulid as it's more of a fire and forget spell, enabling you to drop it during Heroism/Bloodlust and focus on what's important but if you'd prefer to have that more constant damage of Rushing Jade Wind, that's your call.

I've been terribly busy of late meaning I currently have less time to experiment in the kitchen, but today I worked a shorter shift and took advantage of the extra time to explore my newly acquired copy of Madhur Jaffrey's World-of-the-East Vegetarian Cooking. As I am a huge fan of green peas and paneer cheese, I decided to make a slightly modified version of Ms. Jaffrey's Rice with Paneer and Peas. This easy-to-prepare dish would serve as a fine compliment to any Indian meal.

August 28 - Augustine of Hippo, Convert, Blessed, Pear Thief
Augustine was born into a divided family where his mother--Monica--was a Christian and his father--Patricius--was a non-Christian. He was raised within the bounds of the Church at his mother's insistence but he received a top notch education at a non-Christian school nearly twenty miles away from home at his father's insistence. Because of the incredible opportunity that his education presented, Augustine became an articulate and intelligent expounder of the philosophical systems he had studied and learned to love--namely, Platonism. He found great comfort in the predictable and consistent halls of academia and decided to pursue a career within the walls of the ivory tower of academia--Augustine aspired to be a professor of rhetoric.
Augustine moved around teaching rhetoric to popular academic acclaim for many years. He was repeatedly disappointed with his students' behavior and lack of professionalism but so loved the academic world that he continued on gaining more and more acclaim. Eventually, he was appointed Professor of Rhetoric for the Imperial Court at Milan. This was, very likely, the most highly regarded rhetorical profession in the western world. Augustine took it gladly but, on the way there in a carriage, noticed a homeless beggar on the street and remarked: "Surely, this man lives a happier and more carefree life thanI do." Even at the zenith of his academic career, Augustine was aware that countless accolades and voluminous praise could not satisfy the man who would, eventually, write: "Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee." Happiness eluded Augustine even as success dwelt in his lap.
Augustine sought happiness and fulfillment in women throughout his adult life. He was famed for his voracious sexual appetite. He lived with a woman--Flora--for nearly fifteen years and had a son by her without marrying her. He wasn't interested in loving her as much as experiencing her as an object and thing meant to provide him pleasure. He would, eventually, become part of an arranged marriage with a girl too young to be wed. He broke off his relationship with Flora because of the arranged marriage but could not wait long enough to marry his betrothed and started a new relationship with another woman. This is the man who is famed to say,"Grant me chastity and continence, but not yet." Augustine hoped to fill the aching void within him with pleasure and women but found that he still felt unsatisfied.
Augustine sought fulfillment in the Manichaeanreligion that followed their founder Mani. Mani suggested that good and evil were equal and opposing cosmic forces--neither was more powerful or more capable than the other--that fought out their eternal battle within the lives and minds of humans who were composed from good and evil. They identified goodness with the soul and evilness with the body. This linked with Augustine's love of Platonic philosophy and he remained convinced for some years. He sought meaning to life in Mani's philosophy and sought the release promised if humans could only learn to identify solely with their soul and cast aside the foreign domination of the body upon the soul. Augustine would, eventually, have a chance to sit down with one of the greatest living teachers of Manichaeanism and question him. Augustine was painfully disappointed to find out that this "enlightened teacher" knew less than he did andwas tripped up on simple philosophical questions related to the religion he was described as knowing expertly. Finding that even the great enlightened teachers were unable to attain to Mani's theoretical salvation, Augustine left the Manichaeans unfulfilled and unsatisfied.
In recollection, Augustine learned much of himself. He revealed in The Confessions that as a child he and some friends had crept into a neighbor's land and found a cluster of pear trees. There, he and his friends tasted some of the pears and found them to be either sour or bland and absolutely unpalatable. Yet, they stole armloads of the pears and destroyed them. Augustine would look back and find great meaning in this moment--meaning that would help him understand his incredible lack of satisfaction and peace throughout his life: he had stolen the pears not because they were something of value but, rather, because he wanted to steal. Augustine was, finally, prepared to turn his critical eye inward and realize that so much of his life had been spent in rebellion to God not because of some value in it but because it was part of his very nature--he was alienated from the only true source of peace and satisfaction in the universe.It was with this dawning realization that Augustine met Ambrose in Milan.
Ambrose was a skilled and educated rhetorician and priest who welcomed Augustine into his home and his church. He encouraged Augustine to ask questions--knowing that it was in Augustine's nature to do so--and answered what he could and taught Augustine to answer others. His openness to the intellectual aspects of Christianity and his skillful presentation of its teachings slowly won over Augustine. Eventually, Augustine would convert to Christianity--much to his mother's happiness--and become one of the staunchest defenders of orthodoxy in the history of the Church. He would apply the skills that he had acquired in the world to the service of the Kingdom of God and write numerous treatises and books. Augustine, upon looking back over his life, would come to the slow and steady realization that "...man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible." Looking back upon his aimless wandering and pursuit of satisfaction and peace, he reflected,"I found thee not, O Lord, without, because I erred in seeking thee without that wert within."
Even now, Augustine's life raises his question: "Don't you believe that there is in man a deep so profound as to be hidden even to him in whom it is?" For Augustine, there was no rest until he found it in God and he found this rest in 430 as the Bishop of Hippo and an inspiration to countless millions of Christians.

8 returning from state
News editor
The Marion Warriors track and field team has 47 members this year, 30 boys and 17 girls. Of those 47, more than one-sixth competed at the state track meet last season.
The returning state qualifiers are Brody Carroll, 1,600-meter relay; Spencer Fugitt, discus and javelin; Jordan Hett, 1,600- and 3,200-meter run; James Jones, long jump and 1,600-meter relay; Alicia Maloney, pole vault; Patrick McCarty, 1,600-meter relay; Nicholas Meyer, shot-put; and Corey Shields, shot-put.
Head coach Grant Thierolf thinks there are several athletes who could join that group at state this year.
"We will be very strong in the field events and distance races," Thierolf said. "Our relays will be strong and we should do well in the sprints. Our field events in the past have really racked up the points and we expect that to continue. We will be very solid in the boys throws, great depth and some very quality performers."
He said Morgan Wheeler and Kyle Palic both could make the leap to qualify for state this year in throwing events, and Clint Kroupa should be competitive in discus and shot-put.
"Our jumps will be solid, we need to find another high jumper to go along with Patrick," Thierolf said. "Our vaulters are our strong corps, especially on the girls' side with Alicia, Kelli (Hess), and Kirsten (Hansen)."
Thierolf said he also thinks Zach Hammond can compete for a state qualifying spot in pole vault, Marshelle Mermis and Emily Schneider could advance in the jumps and sprints, and Katey Ehrlich could advance in the jumps and hurdles.
Timothy Knolla, Kaelyn Thierolf, McKenzee Remmers, and Erin Meierhoff are leading candidates to qualify for state in distance races, and Tyler Neufeld could advance in middle-distance races.
"The distance runners we have have been doing a great job, and we hope they have fun and run fast," Thierolf said.
Thierolf focuses on the relays and sprints. He is joined in coaching the team by Rex Wilson and Charlotte Waner, throws; Deanna Thierolf, jumps; Jerry Smith, pole vault; Shaun Craft, throws and hurdles; and Jeff McMillin, distance.

text: I am new to beekeeping - have had 2 hives since May. I quickly discovered that I cannot lift a 9 frame medium box full of honey, so I want to convert to smaller boxes as well as converting to natural comb. 9 1 3/8" frames in a standard box leave 2.5" of space. On the bushbees site, under frame width FAQs, it says that 9 frames in a standard 10 frame box leaves too much space causing irregular comb. If I reduce my frame size to 1 1/4" then 8 frames in a 13 3/4 box leaves 2.25" play. Isn't this also too much? Should I use 9 frames in an 8 frame box (making it heavier) or should I reduce the box dimensions? What would the ideal dimensions be?

also available under open-source license thanks to NASK/CERT Polska and National Cyber Security Centre (Netherlands)
-Collected 8673 samples with a SURFids set-up with Kippo, Dionaea,
Glastopf and Amun
Research and Development
-DDOS attacks are occuring more often on the internet. This is a big
issue for webhosters, ISP's and commercial companies. Our chapter has
recruited two students who will research DDOS attacks in live netflow
data. Target of this research is to better detect the various types of
DDOS attacks (chargen, ntp, DNSsec...).
-A student used machinery
learning algorithm on the Kelihos sinkhole logging (Tillmann's work ). A
report of his work will be available in February.
-A university research project focused on machine learning
algorithm has analyzed the Kelihos sinkhole logging. Results will be
available on a short notice. Our chapter will guide these researchers
and provide them Malware/bots and a hosting/testing environment for
further analysis.
-Knowlegde has been gathered about how to safeguard privacy in the case
that parts of botnet data is personal data. Our chapter has explored the
possibilities to restrictedly share botnet data.
Papers, Presentations and Community Engagements
-The two DDOS research students will publish a paper beginning of February.
Goals 2014
-Malware sample analysis (dropper analysis, .. etc)
-Various honeypot deployments and create a malware lab environment based
on Openstack. Openstack enables us to (amazon-like) easy deploy test
- An university researcher in the Netherlands is raising funds for an
IP-spoofing research project. Members of our chapter will endorse this
research and provide input/feedback about how this research should be
guided. One of the ideas is to use a world-wide sensor net in order to
(better) detect IP-spoofing.

Hi Guys,
Assitance please for help in ordering the right size Gis from the supplier who is providing the ones with the Aiuchi badge.
I have found that these are generally oversized, so for myself ordering a 4.5 rather than 5 was best. (180cm). Same for a chap who is 187cm but thin, a size 5 was too big as well.
Can we have a few replies on your build, male / female and height, to offer assistance for size selection.
In particular I have a slim female 5'2" (158cm) to order for.

Simple CSS for Mac
Publisher's Description
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a way to specify the styles of fonts and other page elements on your sites. It makes it easier for you to update styles too, because when done right, you only need to make a single change to update the styles on multiple pages and elements. Another bonus is that your visitor's browser needs to load less data per page, helping you reduce your data transfer usage while serving the same information. That means you'll be able to accommodate more site visitors without having to spend more on data transfer. Your pages will also load faster. To help you work with CSS, we've created a tool called Simple CSS, which runs on Macs, Windows and Linux. Simple CSS allows you to create cascading style sheets from scratch, and/or modify existing ones, using a familiar point-and-click interface.
Version 2.0 includes faster WYSIWYG previews. Version 2.1 fixes a bug that prevented some systems from showing previews.

An undisclosed Indonesian mining company has acquired a medium lift Mi-171 from the Russian manufacturer, Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant. The aircraft pictured with the announcement bears the name of Airfast Indonesia, an independent company that offers fixed-wing and rotary aircraft services to a variety of customers.
According to the Airfast website, it has provided helicopter services around Timka and Dekai in Papua. The biggest mining operator in Papua is Freeport McMoRan at its Grasberg Minerals District and could be the client for the Mi-171.
As the statement from Russian Helicopters confirms, the Mi-171 (international version of the classic helicopter) can be used for both cargo and passengers.
The Indonesian armed forces operate around 20 Mi-171 helicopters, according the Russian Helicopters. There are around 700 Mi8/Mi-17 helicopters in the Asia-Pacific region.
According to the statement, "The Indonesian client is currently considering acquisition of an additional batch of Russian-built civil helicopters following the first delivery in October."

It is difficult to find someone who has not been touched by cancer and the Lipscomb Bisons soccer team is no exception.
In Sunday night's 2-1 win over Belmont at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex the players wore pink arm bands to show their support of cancer awareness programs.
"Everybody has been impact by cancer either with family members or friends," Bisons' coach Charles Morrow said. "We do this because we want to always be mindful of the mission of the school and what we are all about. We want to conduct ourselves in a way that we are glorifying God."
But they did far more than simply add the pink color. They also sold raffle tickets for an autographed jersey with Tyler Burkhardt, whose mother lost her battle with cancer, leading the way selling 30 tickets.
"The raffle was great," Morrow said. "When the players see that the coaches are behind it they are more apt to get involved."
The team raised $1,300 to be given to the American Cancer Society, easily surpassing their goal of $600.
"There is still so much money needed to fight cancer," Morrow said. "Just like everything we do with our program we hope that we can build on it and make it better."
The Bisons' coaching staff has been a leader in the Atlantic Sun in promoting cancer awareness through soccer games. Assistant coach Kevin Burk has been extremely active in promoting the program. There are nine soccer teams in the conference and Morrow and Burk would like to see them all join the program.
"We have had conference calls as coaches," Morrow said. "For a year or two we talked about needing to do something and it didn't happen.
"Last year Kevin did a great job of taking it on himself to organize it. And he did it himself again this year."
Morrow and Burk never miss a chance to remind their players how good their lives are on a daily basis.
"As coaches and players we are very blessed and lucky to be in the positions that we are in," Morrow said. "Any time we can use our influence or share our stage with something for good we definitely want to do that."

FLORENCE, S.C. – Junior lefty Mike Guinane (Glenview, Ill.) baffled hitters for eight innings Saturday, as Georgia College baseball (15-10, 7-4 PBC) split with Francis Marion University (18-10, 8-6 PBC) following a 17-5 loss with a 4-0 win.
Guinane (1-3) scattered just five hits in eight shutout innings, fanning five and walking a pair. Matt LaMothe (Troy, Mich.) got the final three outs via strikeout to complete the shutout. Spencer Jordan (4-2) was the hard-luck loser, allowing three runs in six innings.
GC got a run in the first, two in the fifth and another in the ninth to close it out. Rightfielder Bryce Williams (Manhattan, Kan.) was the lone multi-hit performer at 2-for-3, while Patrick Daugherty (Kennesaw, Ga.), Travis Echols (Suwanee, Ga.), Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) and Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) each recorded RBI.
In game one, the Bobcats couldn't keep up with FMU's firepower, as the Patriots scored runs in all but one offensive inning. FMU compiled 17 runs on 18 hits, taking advantage of six GC walks and two Bobcat errors.
Senior righty Derek McGowan (Raytown, Mo.) took the loss (2-4), throwing the first two innings. FMU starter Jeffrey Stoner (4-1) went six frames in the win.
For GC, the offensive star was shortstop Tanner Funk (Kearney, Mo.) going 3-for-5 with an RBI and run. Daugherty and leftfielder Josh Young (Lake Havasu City, Ariz.) each had two hits, Daugherty plating a run and Young scoring one.
The series still hangs in the balance of a single game tomorrow, March 18 at 1 p.m.

Eldon Brandt
Eldon James Brandt was born to William P. and Lillian (Bartel) Brandt on Aug. 28, 1928, in Goessel, Kan. His mother passed away when Eldon was very little and his father remarried Anna Ewert, who helped raise him. Eldon grew up in rural Hillsboro, Kan., farming with his father, attended school there, and graduated from Hillsboro High school in 1947.
Following graduation, Eldon became a part of Voluntary Service through Mennonite Central Committee, and worked in Chaco, Paraguay, at an experiment farm in the Mennonite colonies. Eldon was placed among the Paraguayan people to develop land where they could plant wheat. He also helped put together parts to make plows and windmills for their use. There he met his wife, Anny Neufeld, a local girl, who was working at the farm. They married in Paraguay, Jan. 29, 1955, and in April that year, he brought his bride back to the United States and made their home near Newton, Kan. Later, they moved to Hillsboro, where they raised three sons.
In 1964, he quit farming, and began work at the Barkman Honey Company and developed his interests in honeybees and beekeeping. He served on the city council, coached Babe Ruth baseball, and served in numerous volunteer positions in his church, Tabor Mennonite, near Goessel. In 1982, he purchased a bee operation near Yankton, S.D., and made a courageous move north to work the bees, bringing in his son, Merle, to work with him. While living in South Dakota, Eldon was active in the South Salem Mennonite Church in rural Freeman, S.D.
He spent many hours with his grandchildren, who gave him great joy and he loved taking trips, especially to visit Anny's family in Canada each summer.
He kept bees until November 2001, when he suffered a stroke. Eldon passed away Oct. 27, 2012, in the Good Samaritan Center in Centerville, S.D.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Anny; son Bruce (wife Melody) of Littleton, Colo., son Merle (wife Gena) of Yankton, S.D., and son Sidney (wife Mary) of Tabor, S.D., as well as four sisters, Orletta Wiebe, Pearl (John) McConnell, Darlene (Lewis) Haney, Joyce Barkman, and two brothers, Raymond (Rosie), and John (Donita). He leaves behind seven grandchildren: Jason, Garrett, Lance, Gavin, Garner, Wesley, and Ava, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and countless friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Lillian, stepmother Anna, and a 6-month old brother, Franklin.
Memorial monies can be sent in care of Eldon's son, Merle Brandt at 2605 Deer Blvd., Yankton, SD 57078.


text: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel What's it about Endless runners are becoming increasingly popular and there are a lot of creative variations out there. From jumping roofs to punching monsters. This game takes a more simplified approach to it by mixing familiar platforming elements to it. The game is a combination of Super Mario Bros & Endless runners. It's sort of like playing through an endless speedrun of SMB. You jump, stomp enemies and collect coins! How it plays The game is an auto-runner, so you run forward automatically. However, the twist in this game is that you have a lot more control over your character. You use 2 main buttons: jump and brake. (right and left side of the screen) The game is playable using only the jump button, but to fully master the game you have to learn how to use the brake button. It's a little easier to understand if you watch the gameplay trailer. Other than endless running, there is also a mode called Challenge mode. In this mode you play short, extra difficult levels as DLC. See other video I hope you look forward to it! Visit http://www.heigames.com for more info. PS: I can still use some testers!

It would be an understatement to say that automakers have faced uncertainty when it comes to US fuel economy standards. The department of transportation's CAFE standards for fuel economy had remained unchanged for roughly two decades, but change appeared inevitable. California and other states were pushing to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from autos, and were suing the EPA to obtain a waiver that would allow them to do so. Meanwhile, the EPA was under pressure, delivered by a Supreme Court ruling, to rule on whether these emissions constituted a pollutant under the Clean Air Act, a step the agency finally took in April. At the same time, US automotive companies have been teetering on the edge of insolvency and placing their futures in the hands of the government. Now, it looks like all of these loose ends will be tied up in a single agreement that will see the California standards adopted nationally.
Details of the deal are available from various sources, but all of them indicate that the relevant parties are on board. These include California, which has spearheaded the states that are attempting to raise fuel efficiency by regulating carbon dioxide emissions, and the auto industry itself. The regulations themselves will be coordinated jointly by the EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which sets the CAFE standards. But, perhaps most significantly, the automakers are on board, lured by the promise of financial assistance for retooling their production.
The new standards would see a rapid and significant rise in fleet efficiency starting in 2012. By 2016, in line with California's planned regulations, the average mileage of a company's fleet would have to be above 35.5 miles per gallon, an increase of over 40 percent. That figure would include light trucks, a category that encompasses many SUVs, minivans, and crossovers; currently, those vehicles are subject to separate standards. The net result will be that average mileage for a typical passenger car will have to rise quite a bit, to 42mpg. Getting automakers to agree to that would have been impossible just a few years ago.
During the years that their profits were driven by sales of large vehicles, the auto industry had resisted any increase in fuel standards, arguing that it would harm the industry by forcing it to adopt expensive new technology. That intransigence turned out to be a bit of an own-goal, as a spike in fuel prices caused car buyers to abandon large domestic vehicles, a trend that persisted until all auto sales crashed amidst the recession. Arguably, that series of events left the US industry in its current, precarious state; other producers had experience in building more efficient vehicles for their domestic markets.
Now, with the same government that's imposing the regulation exerting significant control over the automakers, pushing back carried its own risks. In any case, the automakers were faced with the need to retool factories while considering bankruptcy filings, and Congress was prepared to offer them significant aid for entering the deal. According to The Detroit News, the latest version of a climate bill being considered by Congress includes low-cost loans for retooling factories, and separate programs are designed to assist in the development of a domestic battery industry to support the production of hybrid vehicles. Foreign automakers will also have to make some changes to meet the new standards but, as they do a lot of their production within the US, they should also qualify for these programs.
Not surprisingly, environmental advocates appear uniformly pleased.
The Detroit News quotes an unnamed administration official as saying that the changes will add approximately $1,300 to the cost of a typical car, while The New York Times was unable to find anyone willing to provide a figure. In any case, economies of scale and improving process technologies are likely to make that figure a moving target. What is likely to change is the mix of autos offered, as it will be difficult for automakers to continue to sell significant quantities of models on the small truck end of the spectrum while staying within the rising standards.

BOSTON (AP) — Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 29 points in a rare start, and Rajon Rondo added 22 points and 11 assists to help the Boston Celtics break a five-game losing streak with a 115-104 victory over the slumping Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.
Six players scored in double figures for Boston. Rondo's double-double was his second straight and fifth overall since he returned from a knee injury on Jan. 17.
Jeff Teague had 26 points and DeMarre Carroll scored 24 off the bench for Atlanta, which lost for the 10th time in 11 games.
Back home after an 0-4 West Coast trip, the Celtics had only nine healthy players after a sore toe forced rookie Kelly Olynyk to the bench alongside regular starters Jared Sullinger and Avery Bradley.
The Hawks were missing five injured players, including starters Al Horford and Paul Millsap.
Kyle Korver had 17 points for the Hawks, including four 3-pointers.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens decided to start Bayless alongside Rondo and have Gerald Wallace (12 points) come off the bench. Bayless had his best game since being traded to the Celtics on Jan. 6, with 21 second-half points -- including four 3s in the third quarter.
The Hawks hit their first six shots en route to a 13-2 lead just 3:25 into the game, then raced off to a 23-8 advantage before the Celtics rallied behind Rondo's 11 first-quarter points to close to 27-25.
Boston took a 58-56 halftime lead. Carroll had 17 points for the Hawks, who hit six 3s in the first half -- three by Korver -- to keep it close.
Teague scored 10 points in the third quarter, and Boston took an 81-79 lead into the final period.
Boston entered the game with the fourth-worst record in the NBA. The Hawks, even with their recent woes, still own the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
NOTES: Korver extended his NBA-record streak to 126 games with at least one 3-pointer. ... Olympic giant slalom gold medalist Ted Ligety was in attendance.

Kenya's High Court Rules Anti-Counterfeiting Law Is Unconstitutional Because It Threatens Access To Generic Drugs
from the ACTA,-TPP-take-note dept
Back in 2009, Techdirt wrote about an interesting challenge to a then-new law against counterfeits in Kenya, on the grounds that it might be used to stop perfectly legal generic variants of drugs being imported into the country. That matters, because around 90% of drugs used in Kenya are generics, which means that blocking them would have serious implications for healthcare in that country.
Michael Geist points out that two and half years later, the court has finally delivered its verdict, and it's a great result:
Kenya's High court ruled on Friday that lawmakers must review legislation that could threaten the import of generic drugs, allowing Kenyans to continue accessing affordable medicine.
The judge specifically noted the problem mentioned above:
"The act is vague and could undermine access to affordable generic medicines since the act had failed to clearly distinguish between counterfeit and generic medicines," Judge Mumbi Ngugi said in her ruling.
As a result, Kenyan lawmakers will have to amend the bill to distinguish clearly between counterfeit and generic drugs.
That's not only a huge win for the millions of Kenyans who depend upon generics for their treatment, but it also highlights a key problem for ACTA and TPP, which both seek to grant broad powers to border officials to seize medicines without distinguishing sufficiently between counterfeits and generics.
Here's what the international humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has to say about ACTA and generics (pdf):
While it is claimed that ACTA will protect against falsified medicines by allowing countries and companies to take strong measures in trademark disputes, this may in fact impede access to genuine generic medicines.
Meanwhile, MSF comments on TPP as follows (pdf):
the U.S. is requesting that TPP countries grant customs officials the ex officio right to detain shipments of medicines at the border, even in transit, if the goods are suspected of being counterfeits or if they are considered "confusingly similar" to trademarked goods.
Other countries need to follow Kenya's lead and confirm that access to vital generic medicines is a right that cannot be over-ridden by purely commercial considerations. Among other things, that means throwing out ACTA, and re-drafting TPP's dangerously vague sections dealing with counterfeit drugs.

Thanksgiving is a peculiarly American holiday that is wrapped up in legend and myth that don�t bear close historical examination.
True, the Pilgrims and the Indians sat down to a peaceable feast in 1621. It was a rare feel-good moment because only a few decades later bloody and savage � on both sides � wars broke out and would continue on and off across North America for the next two and a half centuries.
The fourth Thursday in November could be the occasion for what educators call �a teachable moment� but that opportunity passed when the forces of political correctness began frowning on children coming to school dressed as Pilgrims and Indians.
Days of Thanksgiving were regularly proclaimed in the early days of the colonies and later the infant United States and what the people were thankful for was simple survival.
One of the most meaningful Thanksgivings was in November 1863. That month was memorialized eloquently and with commendable brevity by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address but the task of proclaiming that particular Thanksgiving Day fell to Secretary of State William Seward.
Seward went on at florid length to implore the Almighty �to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.�
The Union had survived. But Thanksgiving had changed � no one wanted to look back on the massive bloodshed � and it is changing still.
Mercifully, we no longer, at least for the nonce, have to give national thanks for calamities averted. Instead, we celebrate in a more meaningful fashion. The holiday has come to symbolize the heroic efforts Americans make to be with their families and loved ones on this one special day.
Indeed, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is our most heavily traveled day and not even dire forecasts of snow, ice, high winds and heavy rain right across the country have discouraged the bulk of the 43 million of us determined to give thanks together.
The holiday has become commercial; indeed, all of our holidays become commercial. Increasingly, stores are open on Thanksgiving Day. And tomorrow is Black Friday when retailers hope to turn red ink to black and Cyber Monday has become a special sales day for techno geeks.
The holiday may have evolved and, one hopes, we have too. Give thanks, be careful and have a marvelous Thanksgiving.

June 1, 1999
Dr. Tana Hasart
Clark College
1800 E. McLoughlin Blvd.
Vancouver, Washington 98663
Complaint No. [ ]
Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act
Dear Dr. Hasart:
This is to advise you of our findings in the remaining issues in the complaint filed with this Office by [Complainant] against Clark College (College) alleging that the College violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g and 34 CFR Part 99.
Specifically, [Complainant] alleged that the College violated § 99.10 of the FERPA regulations when it denied her the opportunity to inspect and review certain education records. In response to [Complainant]'s November 17, 1995, request to inspect and review her education records under FERPA, you, in your former capacity of dean of students, informed [Complainant] that she had many records coming from different departments, and that the College had their attorney review her records and remove a large stack of documents that fell under the attorney-client privilege. [Complainant] alleged that these were identified as her records and were part of her dispute with the College over P.R.I.D.E. Program issues.
This Office issued partial findings in this matter to your predecessor, Dr. Earl Johnson, in a letter dated October 10, 1997, and asked for additional information regarding items numbered 8, 9 and 19 by the College in its March 5, 1997 letter to this Office. Assistant Attorney General Bonnie Y. Terada provided that information on behalf of the College in a letter dated November 4, 1997. I apologize for the amount of time it has taken us to bring this matter to a close. Due to the large amount of correspondence this Office receives, as well as our present staff limitations, we currently have a backlog that we are working to resolve.
Ms. Terada stated that two documents (items 8 and 9 in her March 5, 1997, letter) contain "a draft and final letter from [her] to Robert Crebo, who is not a "client." They also include two fax cover sheets, one from Ms. Terada to Susan Wolff, and one from Ms. Terada to Dick Fulton and Susan Wolff, both of whom were previously identified as clients of Ms. Terada who received privileged legal advice concerning [Complainant]. The claim of attorney-client privilege was made as to the fax cover sheets, which were not made in the presence of or to Mr. Crebo.
In regard to the draft and final letter to Mr. Crebo, Ms. Terada explained that one of the two bases on which the College withheld these letters from inspection and review by [Complainant] was that they are not "education records" under FERPA. According to Ms. Terada, [Complainant]'s last day as a student at the College was July 27, 1995, and the final letter to Mr. Crebo is dated August 28, 1995. Since the "document in question was created after the student left the institution," it is not an "education record" as that term is defined in 34 CFR § 99.3(b)(5).
FERPA regulations exclude from the definition of "education records"
Records that only contain information about an individual after he or she is no longer a student at that agency or institution.
34 CFR § 99.3(b)(5). This particular regulatory exception, which is not contained in the statutory exclusion of certain types of records from the definition of "education records" found at 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, was promulgated so that educational institutions could carry on alumni communications and correspondence with a minimum of administrative burden. It was intended to encompass records that concern an individual's activities after he or she ceased to be a student at the institution. It was not intended to cover, and does not cover, records that were created after an individual ceased to be enrolled as a student but that concern that individual's activities as a student. This interpretation is particularly important as the regulatory exception in question might otherwise be construed as restricting an individual's statutory right to inspect and review education records.
There is no indication in Ms. Terada's letters that the draft and final versions of the letter to Mr. Crebo were solely about [Complainant] after she ceased to be a student. There is also no indication when the draft letter (in item 8) was produced. Based on the information provided, these records appear to be education records that are subject to inspection and review by [Complainant] under FERPA. It is unclear from Ms. Terada's March 5, 1997, letter whether she also asserted the attorney-client privilege for the draft and final letters to Mr. Crebo, or whether that claim is made only with respect to the fax cover sheets. However, it is noted that Ms. Terada did state that Mr. Crebo is not a client. Absent any further information, we find that the College improperly withheld the draft and final letters to Mr. Crebo concerning [Complainant].
The final document in question, item #19, is an e-mail dated October 27, 1995, from Dr. Johnson to Kathy Bobula, Social Sciences Division Chair, which reviews advice from Ms. Terada to Ms. Bobula regarding [Complainant]. Ms. Terada explained in her November 4, 1997, letter that while Ms. Bobula is not listed as an official who is authorized to contact her for legal advice, Ms. Bobula received a delegation of authority to implement decisions of the College while the P.R.I.D.E. Director, Nancy Warren, was on medical leave. Ms. Bobula met with Ms. Terada to secure legal advice on the Royer matter as part of her official duties, and the confidential communication between her and Dr. Johnson concerned legal advice provided by Ms. Terada to Ms. Bobula. Ms. Terada explained that the confidential communication between Dr. Johnson and Ms. Bobula concerning legal advice was crucial to Ms. Bobula's duty to carry out Dr. Johnson's instructions and should be protected under the attorney-client privilege.
We agree that Dr. Johnson's confidential communication with Ms. Bobula regarding legal advice that Ms. Bobula received regarding [Complainant]'s complaint is protected under the attorney-client privilege. The relevant Washington statute states only that "[a]n attorney or counselor shall not, without the consent of his or her client, be examined as to any communication made by the client to him or her, or his or her advice given thereon in the course of professional employment." RCW 5.60.060(2)(1998). Moreover, it appears that case law for the state of Washington does not address whether communications between school officials regarding legal advice may be privileged.
However, federal courts in other jurisdictions have found that communications between corporate employees about legal advice provided by corporate counsel is privileged. See Bank Brussels Lambert v. Credit Lyonnais (Suisse) S.A., 160 F.R.D. 437 (S.D.N.Y. 1995). See also In re Grand Jury 90-1, 758 F. Supp. 1411 (D. Colo. 1991) (finding a communication between president of a corporation and the Board of Directors passing on legal advice obtained from corporate counsel to be privileged). The rationale behind these rulings is that the "decision-making power of the corporate client may be diffused among several employees, [and] the dissemination of confidential communications to such persons does not defeat the privilege." Id. at 442.
We believe that the privilege would most likely be extended to cover confidential communications between Dr. Johnson, President of Clark College, and Ms. Bobula, Division Chair, concerning legal advice regarding [Complainant]'s complaint against the College. Like a corporation, an educational institution may be viewed as an "inanimate entity," and thus the attorney-client privilege should apply to communications making representatives of this entity aware of legal advice. See In re Grand Jury 90-1, 758 F. Supp. at 1413. Accordingly, we find that the College did not violate FERPA by refusing to allow [Complainant] to examine the e-mail communication in question.
In summary, it appears, based on the information provided to this Office, that the College violated FERPA by failing to allow [Complainant] to examine the draft and final versions of Ms. Terada's letters to Mr. Crebo. Since these letters contain information that is directly related to [Complainant] and they are maintained by the College, they are "education records" of [Complainant] as defined by FERPA. Since it also appears that no claim of attorney-client privilege has been made or shown with respect to these letters, they should be provided to [Complainant] for inspection and review under FERPA.
This Office will close the investigation of this complaint upon receipt of assurance that the College has provided [Complainant] with access to these letters (items 8 and 9). Please provide this assurance within four weeks of receipt of this letter.
Thank you for your cooperation in the investigation of this complaint. [Complainant] will be informed of this finding by copy of this letter. Should you have any questions regarding the finding, do not hesitate to contact Ellen Campbell of my staff at 202/260-3887.
