In making this judgment, the Regents note as persuasive, though not controlling, the extended discussions on the campus and the results of a poll of faculty and students, a copy of which results shall be enrolled in the minutes of this meeting.
2. Any student who wishes to take time off from classes to work in political campaigns may make individual arrangements with an individual faculty member who may, in his discretion, grant such requests in the event he deems it consistent with the educational objectives of the course and the particular student and provided that satisfactory arrangements are made to make up the lost work.

4. The University has consistently upheld the rights of the open forum and accordingly will welcome speakers on campus of all shades and hues of opinion, including advocates of the election of any candidate for public office and of any public policy in issue in public discussion, provided, of course, that the applicable rules and regulations for use of University facilities are respected.

fsplayer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 199 diseños de 40 diseñadores freelance.
We are a small fantasy sports league startup made up of 3 friends. We are all software engineers who also happen to be co-workers during the week at our corporate gig . We are very passionate about software development and sports and decided to put the two together, especially because of our disappointment with the quality and features of existing fantasy sports league providers.
Our goal is to develop a fantasy sports league site created by and for the fantasy sports player. Our initial launch will be for fantasy football (NFL). The vision is to provide fantasy league services to all major sports such as football, baseball, hockey, basketball, and possibly more.
We are targeting both the causal and hardcore sports fans looking for a better fantasy sports experience. It is a very competitive market, so we need a quality logo and online identity to set us apart.
We are very open to different design styles and ideas. It is our goal to let the graphic design experts do their thing without putting restrictions on the design or creativity process. However, below are some considerations.
- We would prefer a logo that is not too complex or busy
- Logo should have a professional look and feel
- Logo should be generic and not focus on one sport. We are targeting
multiple sports. We need a generic logo for the overall brand, but want to know how it will look when customizing it for each sport. Huge bonus to any submission that has a version for football,basketball, baseball, and hockey or can easily be customized for each sport.
- We would like the logo to incorporate our domain name fantasysportsplayer.com or the words fantasy sports player alongside the logo or as part of it. There could be a version without the domain name or site name, but we would like the option of having it as well.
Other than that we are very open to everyones vision for the logo and are excited to see what is submitted!

text: After posting a response to some negative posts about Safrique where I mentioned my great hunt and the fact that Safari had recently published a story I wrote about that hunt, the moderator suggested I post the story itself. This was published in the November/December issue of Safari magazine: The Old Man and The Tree (A First Timers Leopard Hunt in Mozambique) Two years ago at an SCI chapter gala I became the proud owner of a certificate from the Wildlife Gallery for a life-sized leopard mount. That was the easy part. The problem then became finding a leopard. After much research on the various techniques employed by leopard hunters, and the growing controversy about hunting with dogs, I decided to try an old-fashioned leopard hunt over bait in Mozambique. My research led me to believe that leopard were plentiful in the northern reaches of Mozambique, in the Niassa Reserve. Although these were long, thin forest cats, not the huge, cattle-killing 200 pound low veldt leopards, which were rumored to be very difficult to hunt. I booked my hunt with Safrique, Ltd, through their offices in Dallas and early this September I was on my way. Apparently it is possible to arrive in Johannesburg early enough to catch the daily flight to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, but that would require an early flight out of New York City. Given the choice between a night in New York City, and a night in Johannesburg, I opted for the City Lodge in Johannesburg. After a restful night overcoming my jetlag, it was on to Maputo, where I was met by a Safrique representative and delivered to the Southern Sun hotel, for another jetlag treatment. Finally, on my third day on the road, it was a flight on LAM, the Mozambique state airline, to Lichinga, in the far north regions of Mozambique, with a short stop in Nampula on the way. LAM provided modern equipment and professional service, with one little quirk: the in-flight snack between Nampula and Lichinga was a bag of Lays Mesquite Barbecue Potato Chips, and a juice box of Lychee juice! I looked around carefully to see if everyone was getting ready to laugh at me, but they were all enjoying their snacks, so when in Rome eat your potato chips. Arriving in Lichinga in the early afternoon I was met by Paul Davies, my PH, and we soon settled in for the five-hour drive to the Safrique camp in the L1 Block in the Niassa Reserve. The first 50 kilometers was on the tar road and then on to a dirt road that quickly deteriorated into what we would call in Texas a two-track. During our drive I explained to Paul that the bad news was I had fallen and broken my back and had to endure three spinal surgeries to repair the damage. Consequently, I was old and broken up, and couldn't run up the hill like I used to. However, the good news was I usually hit what I aimed at, and, for a judge, I followed instructions pretty well! We arrived after dark so there was only time for dinner and then off to bed, as 5:00am would come very soon in the morning. The Safrique camp is set up on top of a small hill and enjoys a spectacular view of the area. Guests are provided with their own house, a stone walled structure with a thatched roof, with the traditional in-suite bathroom, including a hot shower. The next morning, after sighting in both rifles, (I had leopard, sable and buffalo on my license, as well as some plains game, so I brought along two Blaser R93 rifles, in .300WSM and .375H&H). I chose the L1 Block for the abundance of Roosevelt Sable and leopards in the area, despite the fact that there were normally only a few buffalo around. After piling into the truck we were off looking for plains game or wart hogs that would serve as leopard bait. It took some time, as most of the wart hogs we spotted would not have kept a big cat on bait for more than a single night, but soon I had a decent sized hog in my sights and we were in the bait business! Next I was treated to a graduate course in leopard hunting technique from Paul Davies, a very successful cat hunter from Zimbabwe, by way of a long stint in the British army. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about bait tree selection, bait hanging, prevailing winds and blind locations. Paul was very intent about only hanging bait where he had seen large leopard spoor, or actually seen a large leopard, and we also followed the oft-quoted rule about leopard baits: The nearest one must be at least two hours from camp, and they must all be at least two hours apart! Later that day we spotted a small group of Boehms zebra off in the distance, standing still in one of the large vleis (open areas, sometimes marshy) and we stopped the truck and started a stalk. When we got to within about three hundred yards it appeared that the zebra were on to us, staring intently in our direction. However, through the binoculars it became apparent that the zebra were staring at something off to our left. Swinging the binoculars to our left we spotted several lions creeping toward the zebra. Apparently we were pretty far down the zebra list of concerns. Deciding that discretion was the better part of valor, we decided to try a shot from our current location. I cleanly missed the first animal I had in my sights, or managed to kill a branch, but the shot broke up the stand-off, the zebra turned and ran away from us, and the lions did so as well! A day or two later we were back in the bait checking business. The farthest bait was at the foot of Finger Mountain, a large outcropping that looked like an enormous version of a rude gesture. Each time we headed over to check that bait something happened that stopped us from getting there. This day it was a nice Lichtenstein Hartebeest and another wart hog. We now had five leopard baits hanging and my excitement was growing. While we waited for some action on our baits, we continued to drive around the block, looking for a nice Roosevelt Sable. I must have seen over four hundred sable, most of which I was willing to shoot, but Paul kept telling me, we can do better! He was right. The next time we headed for Finger Mountain we came across a beautiful sable, with horns that curved way back, and started to spread outward, a sure sign, I was told, of a mature bull. I hit him high in the shoulder and dropped him where he stood. The 180 grain Nosler Accubond went through both shoulders and came to rest just under the skin on the far side. When we got to him he was enormous, 41 inches of horn! So Finger Mountain was off and it was back to camp and the skinning shed. That afternoon we once again tried to get to Finger Mountain, but this time we were interrupted by a Boehms zebra stallion, which defiantly stood staring at us from a distance of 140 yards. When he wouldn't turn I took the shot and hit him dead center in the brisket. He ran about ten yards before piling up and the Nosler Accubond had done it again. The skinner recovered that bullet in his large intestine, six inches or so from exiting the other end. Once again the trip to Finger Mountain was off and we were back to the skinning shed. By the way, when we finally did check the bait at Finger Mountain it had been demolished! We spent the next few days freshening up our other baits and making sure that the ants hadn't found the bait before the leopards did. Each night I lay in bed thinking about getting a leopard in my sights. Most nights it was fairly warm and I usually took the provided blanket off my bed and folded it neatly on the unused bed in my house. Each day while I was hunting, without fail, Paolo the waiter would remake my bed with the undesired blanket in place. When I asked Paul about getting him to stop I was told that it would do no good, as Paolo would invariably follow his routine, so it quickly became a challenge. The next night I neatly folded the offending blanket and locked it in my rifle case, telling the Paul what I had done at breakfast the next morning. That night there was another blanket on my bed, removed from the unused bed. I quickly folded it and locked it in the rifle case with the first blanket. By this time my battle with housekeeping was all we talked about at breakfast. That night there was no blanket on my bed, I had won! But, it wasn't without ramifications. Each bed had a large bath towel on it and I only needed one towel, but after a few days of sweating on the vinyl seats of the truck I took the second towel to the truck and sat on it in the passenger seat. All was well for a day or two, but when I brought it back into camp and threw it into the laundry, it disappeared. I guess Paolo decided that someone who stole blankets couldn't be trusted with a second towel! Its a good thing Paolo couldn't read English, or he would have quickly reported that I had stolen all of my underwear from somebody named Calvin Klein! In the next few days we found that three of four checked baits had big cats feeding and it was time to choose one and build a blind. Paul builds his blinds close to the bait tree, unless the prevailing winds are problematic. Our first blind was only thirty-five yards from the bait tree! I watched fascinated while our trackers Mario, Mauricio and Clement built a blind out of bamboo poles and dried grass, tied together with dampened strips of tree bark. We got into the blind at 4:00pm and sat quietly, waiting for some action. The PH and our Apprentice PH each had a peep hole, and a second hole was cut for the PH flashlight. (Lights are legal in Mozambique, as crafty forest leopards generally won't feed in daylight.) I had a small hole cut for me, just big enough for my muzzle and scope, and a cloth was hung in front of my scope, so the leopard wouldn't detect any movement. At about 7:30, in total darkness, we heard a leopard feeding in the tree. get ready Paul whispered quietly, and switched on his flashlight. My heart was racing, but suddenly Paul let out an expletive, telling me it was a small female leopard, inviting me to peek if I wanted. About the time I was peering around my scope at the female, the light went off and Paul whispered, be very still! It seems there was a large male leopard on the ground, between our blind and the bait tree, and the sudden flash of light had raised his curiosity. Now I always thought that leopards were stealthy creatures, moving silently through the bush. This leopard came stomping over to the blind like he was wearing size 12 combat boots! He stomped completely around the blind, emitting a raspy growl, and then stomped off into the darkness. I was more than a little nervous, separated from a big tom leopard by a few inches of dried grass, but my muzzle was sticking out of the blind, the safety was off and my finger was on the trigger. If he had gotten curious I kept telling myself that a round fired in close proximity would certainly chase him off! We waited an hour without any sound and then Paul told me we were going to walk out quietly, in the dark! I was uncertain I wanted to leave the apparent safety of our blind, but when in doubt, always obey the PH, so we walked back to the truck in the dark. The next night we were at a second bait site, where the leopard had pulled an entire sable shoulder/leg and ribcage up onto the branch. This time the winds were not as predictable, so our blind was built 70 yards from the tree. Once again we got into the blind at 4:00pm, after sneaking in to make sure Mr. Spots wasn't napping under the bait tree. Like clockwork, at 7:30, there was noise in the tree. The flashlight came on and there was a big male leopard in the tree. He stared over at us for a few seconds and casually jumped down and disappeared. I report this second-hand as I was never able to find him in my scope. Our bait tree was standing by itself, and with no surrounding foliage to reflect the light, only the branch and cat were illuminated, and I never got my crosshairs on him. As we headed back that night I could feel the doubt of the trackers, although Paul was calm and supportive, telling me, Jeez, you gotta shoot, you can't take all night, what were you waiting for!!! On the third night we were back at our first bait and I was determined to succeed this night. Despite the grief I took from everyone, I resolved to use a trick I had learned in Namibia. I took one of my spare bootlaces (Never travel without them!) and tied the eyepiece of my scope to a pole across the top of the blind. By adjusting the lace left and right, and up and down, my rifle was suspended and my crosshairs were locked in on the bait branch. This night we waited for the louder noises of a male leopard eating, and when the light came on, I was ready. Unfortunately, so was the leopard. He jumped out of the tree again and came stomping over to the blind to investigate. Like the previous time, he walked completely around the blind, sniffing at the base, inches from my feet, and then he disappeared into the night. By this time Paul was getting irritated (at me and at the leopard, I suppose) and announced it was time for the Landcruiser Trick. As I watched in wonder Paul got on the radio and called the truck in, telling the trackers to park as close as possible and walk in with flashlights ablaze. After we talked to them for a few minutes the trackers walked back to the truck and drove away. Paul explained: leopards are smart, but they can't count! Sure enough, after about thirty minutes the leopard was back in the tree. This time when the light came on I was ready, watching the leopard in my crosshairs, waiting for the go-ahead from Paul after he made sure it was the male leopard. The leopard stood on the branch staring at us, no doubt wondering where the light had come from, since the humans had driven away. He stood facing us, with his hindquarters elevated, making a straight on brisket shot impossible. About that time I heard footsteps stomping around the blind again and turned to Paul to whisper: I think the big male is right near us! just as I heard him shout Shoot, Shoot! When I turned back to my scope the leopard was gone! Once again, Paul was calm and supportive, for about twenty minutes! We bumped a big hyena as we walked out to the truck, undoubtedly the source of the heavy footsteps. That night in camp I promised everyone that the next night a leopard was going to die. It had to be, the baits were being rapidly consumed, and if I weren't successful we would have to start over. The next day we were back to the second blind we had built, and I once again tied my rifle to the roof of the blind, to the barely disguised smirks of everyone. I sat there giving myself a pep talk, convincing myself that this was the night. Shortly after it got dark we heard something in the tree, but it seemed too quiet to be the big male leopard. Finally we turned the flashlight on at 7:00pm and there was a big male on the bait tree. Taking a deep breath I put the crosshairs on his shoulder and pulled the trigger. He half jumped, half fell from the tree, and we heard a noisy scuffle under the tree. Next he ran for about two seconds and then absolute silence. After sitting for ten minutes or so, Paul and our Apprentice PH Adrian picked up the shotgun and decided to go and look for my leopard, telling me to wait in the blind. I understand now why everyone tells me this is when the PH earns his fees, and I was grateful not to be out there in the dark looking for a hopefully dead leopard. Fortunately my leopard was dead on the ground, twenty yards from the bait tree, lying in an open area. Next came a long photo session, everyone without a surgically altered spine had their picture taken holding the leopard across their shoulders. Then, it was a happy drive back to camp, with the entire crew singing the traditional victory song for a dead leopard. I don't know who was more relieved that I had finally managed to bag my leopard, the trackers, who seemed to take my previous failures personally, Paul, the PH, a consummate professional whose batting average with leopards would have been slightly diminished by my ineptitude, or me, knowing that I would finally get to utilize my certificate from the Wildlife Gallery! As an additional bonus the next morning I got to sleep in, and was served a proper breakfast of bacon and eggs, a far cry from my usual cornflakes and juice. As the Niassa Reserve is strictly monitored, every kill must be well documented, including the longitude and latitude of the kill and the physical parameters of the prey taken. That examination revealed that the reason our leopard was so quiet in the tree was that he was 11 or 12 years old and had lost several of his fangs in various battles over the years. Although he still had the strength to drag the bait up onto the limb, he was apparently quietly gumming the meat when we first heard him in the tree. The floating bones in his shoulders were worn down to practically nothing and he was covered in scars, revealing a long and tumultuous life. If he hadn't fallen to my hunt I'm afraid he was in for a much less dignified end. I think it was very appropriate that the broken old man in the tree fell to the broken old man in the blind. The last few days were spent looking for buffalo, although it became clear that the lions had chased the few local buffalo off somewhere. I did manage to take a large male spotted hyena (80 kilograms). I must admit that once the pressure of the leopard was off, my hunting style became a little more relaxed. The next thing I knew it was off to Lichinga to start the long trip home. (By the way, the snack on the way back was Lays Sour Cream & Onion chips with Mango juice, and, I did return the blankets!)

text: While Mr. Blurrycam already spotted the upcoming PlayStation 3 video editor at CES, he was unable to divulge any details on release dates. We were similarly unable to wring out much more when we hit the show floor ourselves. Now, Sony has finally outed a few key tidbits, including the fact that Europe can expect it to arrive by the end of Q1 and that you'll have to fork out for the pleasure -- priced at around €10 ($13). According to Electricpig, the PlayMemories Studio will offer up cropping and zooming tools, slow-mo, and a medley of sound and visual effects. Incoming versions of the movie editor for iOS and Android, however, will still arrive gratis. Are you willing to stump up to get your Spielberg on? While there's nothing concrete on a US launch date just yet, we'd expect to see the editor to make a similar appearance over the next few months.

Watch the Throne has been knocking around Twitter, headphones, and radio stations since it dropped last week. The production is great—Yeezy, can you do no wrong? But one beat stands out. Probably because it samples NASA's moon launch.
The Beyoncé-infused Lift Off, The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal points out, uses some very literal inspiration:
About 3:18 seconds in, we get to hear the famous countdown sequence from Apollo 11, the first mission to land on the moon from 20 seconds on down.
Rap blogger ego trip tagged the track as "Spielberg Rap," and it's easy to understand why. On a bombastic album, it's a particularly bombastic track—the hook is Beyoncé singing about going into god damn space. So where else would you turn, but to the real thing?
But! Kanye's not the first to dip into the Apollo program to bring heat to a song. Gang Starr's 1998 Moment of Truth featured Above the Clouds, another aeronautically-inspired track that took fragments of JFK's famous "We choose to go to the moon" speech for its introduction.
I don't think an entirely NASA-themed concept album would be a bad idea. And it's really only the next place for Kanye to head at this point, anyway. International Space Station status. [The Atlantic]

Wyoming's Christensen ready to tackle fans' questions
Dave Christensen's first year in the saddle as the head coach of the Wyoming Cowboys was a surprising success.
Wyoming went 7-6 overall with a 4-4 record in the Mountain West Conference. Christensen's Pokes beat Colorado State in Fort Collins in the regular-season finale. That sent the Cowboys to the New Mexico Bowl, where they defeated beat Fresno State 35-28 in double overtime.
By leading Wyoming to a bowl game in his first season, Christensen became only the second Cowboy head coach to accomplish that feat. The other one? Paul Roach in 1987. More impressive, Christensen became the first UW head coach to win a bowl game in his first season.
With 16 of 24 starters returning from the 2009 squad, their is plenty of optimism north of the boarder. What's more, Wyoming's 2010 preseason roster includes 18 players from Colorado high schools.
So there should be plenty of interest in Cowboys football this fall.
With that in mind, we asked Christensen to be the next participant in The Denver Post's "Fan Mail" feature. If you have a question for Christensen, please submit it to email@example.com.
Please remember to include your first name and where you are from.

On the Radar: Stonehenge
A young, organ-heavy four-piece out of Potsdam, Germany, Stonehenge make their debut with Bunch of Bisons, a mostly instrumental collection showing influence culled from classic rock jams and modern heavy psych. The four-piece, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Enrico Semler, bassist Michael Paukner, drummer Ole Fischer and organist Johannes Walenta, lock into some righteous if mostly familiar grooves, but what really stands them out is Walenta's organ work, the natural production of the album's seven component tracks and the band's occasional touches of flourish, such as the handclaps and vocals on opener "Arctic Brother."
The requisite Deep Purple influence mostly shows up in the straightforward guitar-and-organ riffing of "Sun on the Asphalt," on which Semler (also of the Potsdam sax-infused foursome Minerva), far back in the mix, seems tempted to start in with a verse but thinks twice and just tosses out a couple Cactus-style lines here and there for bluesy affect. Can't say I blame him, since the instrumental portion of "Sun on the Asphalt" delivers enough of a hook and the songs themselves — not a one of them comes in under seven minutes — are jammy enough that when there isn't singing, it doesn't seem to be lacking. A series of "Hey!" gang shouts on "Concrete Krieger" is enough to get the point of a chorus across.
Tonally, they hint at heavy psychedelia, as on the opening of closer "Delay," but even when Semler's guitar seems at rest and Paukner's bass is at its richest, Stonehenge — contrary to their moniker, which has earned its reputation by essentially sitting still over a great stretch of time — never come to a halt, switching from one groove to the next to the next, switching up who's playing what and, in Semler's case, belting out soulful vocals way off-mic so as to barely be heard in the riff-rocking rush. That makes Bunch of Bisons a more energetic listen than one might think for something with extended tracks, and as "Delay" moves in its second half to a slower, building progression, one can only wonder how Stonehenge might approach a follow-up to Bunch of Bisons and if their next outing won't find them a more patient band.
Not that they need to be — they hardly sound winded at the finish of their debut — just that their instrumental dynamic seems to be in its beginnings and could lead to any number of interesting evolutionary paths, particularly as Semler develops his vocals and Stonehenge continue to toy with the balance between the guitar and Walenta's organ, which adds melodic depth to these arrangements and is a clear focal point of their sound at this stage. Could be some fascinating things to come.

As many as 10 million Americans are expected to have their health plans terminated by their insurers effective Jan. 1 or after. Here's a look at who's affected, why and options for staying covered:
Q. Whose policies are getting canceled?
A.Many of those receiving policy-termination letters buy their health plans directly from insurers. These include self-employed individuals and early retirees under the age of 65.
People covered through small-group plans—which apply to employers with fewer than 50 or 100 employees, depending on the state—will also face cancellations.
Q. Who won't be affected?
A. Americans whose plans will remain intact include employees of larger companies, as well as the 30% of the U.S. population on Medicare or Medicaid. Terminated policies won't mean anything to the 48.6 million Americans who are uninsured, either.
Q. Why is this happening?
A. There are a few reasons. The most widespread is that few health plans sold in the past meet the new requirements of the federal health law, known as the Affordable Care Act. Now plans must include benefits such as maternity care, preventive care and mental-health coverage. They also can't have life-time caps, and deductibles must now top out at $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families.
"It's a new market with new rules," said Karen M. Ignagni, president of America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade group. "New policies need to be created."
Another reason is that some insurers have decided that certain plans or certain regions aren't profitable. A spokesman for Cigna Corp. said that 1,500 of the insurance company's customers are having their plans canceled "in locations where we have very little membership."
Continuing to offer old plans in addition to new ones would also be impractical for insurers, according to Paula Wilson, a broker in Temecula, Calif. "An insurance company would have to retool its entire [information-technology] system to comply with the law. To maintain its old policies simultaneously would be very expensive and onerous," she said.
Q. Are there any exceptions?
A. Plans sold before the health law was signed in March 23, 2010 are exempted from the wide array of benefits required by the ACA. But most individual-policy and small-group plans aren't more than 3.5 years old.
About 300,000 Florida Blue Cross & Blue Shield's individual-policy members have plans that aren't grandfathered from the new health law, according to a spokesman for the insurer. These customers are receiving cancellation letters instructing them to contact Florida Blue, as the insurer calls itself, and "review their migration options," the spokesman said.
A health-care plan can lose its "grandfathered" status if changes are made to it. For instance, this could happen if an individual or small-group policy holder increased the deductible for their plan more than 15% at any time after March 2010.
Q. How much will the new, compliant plans cost?
A. Brokers say they expect plans to cost more for many Americans because of the additional benefits that plans are required to have under the law and due to other new mandates. For example, plans with high deductibles of $10,000 or more are no longer permitted, meaning bare-bones coverage with low premiums could result in some people seeing substantial increases.
To be sure, not everyone will pay more for health care. Some older Americans who buy insurance on their own could see a decline in their health-plan premiums, since insurers are limited in how much more they can charge someone based on their age; on the flip side, some young people could end up paying more for coverage similar to what they had previously. Government subsidies could also lessen a person's monthly costs.
Q. What if I'm on a small-group plan?
A. Americans covered through small-group plans—which apply to employers with fewer than 50 or 100 employees, depending on the state—will likely see their premiums increase, too. That's because insurers will no longer be able to set premiums for such plans based on a firm's industry or the health or gender of its staff. Insurers will still be able to take into account the age of a firm's workers, though to a lesser extent, and whether or not those people use tobacco.
"The insurance companies have already run these groups through their new community rating models and they have projected that rate increases will be coming these businesses way," said Paul A. Nachtwey, a broker in Beachwood, Ohio.
Q. What are my options?
A. Some brokers are advising consumers and small employers to renew their existing plans early, before Jan. 1, in order to avoid having to buy a potentially costlier plan for another 12 months.
But not all insurers allow this option. As of Jan. 1, all individual and small groups covered by EmblemHealth, an insurer in New York, will be compliant with the health law, according to David Mahder, a spokesman for the company. This means that those plans will include benefits such as prescription-drug, vision and pediatric-dental coverage, he said.
Jared Veteto, co-owner and president of Cogitic Corp., a manufacturer of submarine parts such as valves and fasteners in Colorado Springs, Colo., said his 15-employee firm was able to renew early and expand coverage through October 2014. But he acknowledges that the move is only a temporary solution. The company will need to purchase a new small-group plan next year because its current plan doesn't comply with the law, he said. And depending on the cost of the new plan, it's possible the company will have to drop coverage altogether.
"I'm mad because at the end of the day the people going to be impacted the most are the employees," Mr. Veteto said.
Individuals and small employers may be eligible for subsidies if they buy health plans through the new state insurance exchanges. Small firms also may be able to save by switching to self-funded plans because these aren't based on community ratings.
Finally, Americans can choose to forgo insurance altogether and pay a penalty. The penalty is a flat amount or a percentage of income, whichever is greater, and it phases in over three years. For 2014, the dollar penalty is $95, rising to $695 as of 2016. The 2014 income percentage is 1% of annual income above the tax-filing threshold, rising to 2.5% as of 2016.

CHICAGO — Recent recommendations on breast cancer and prostate cancer screening made by a government-appointed panel did not include enough input from experts in treating these cancers, doctors said here today (June 19).
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The American Medical Association voted today to officially express concern over the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommendations on mammography and prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing.
"We have concerns that adequate input from specialists in these areas is not given or enlisted," when the task force makes its recommendations, said Dr. Robert Hughes, president of the Medical Society of the State of New York.
In 2009, the task force recommended women receive regular mammograms starting at age 50, going against the common practice of screening women beginning at age 40. And recently, the task force recommended against PSA testing for men altogether.
Hughes said that doctors' reactions to these recommendations have been "outrage, disappointment, frustration [and] sadness."
"They put undo emphasis on possible risks, without adequately emphasizing the obvious benefits of early screening," which include early diagnosis and treatment of cancer, Hughes said.
The task force has said the risks of screening, which include unnecessary tests and anxiety caused by false-positive results, do not outweigh their benefits. In addition, the task force said evidence shows men who receive prostate cancer screening do not live longer than men who don't receive screening.
Doctors here said the task force does not have enough input from specialists when making its recommendations.
The new AMA policy says the organizations should encourage task force "to implement procedures that allow for meaningful input on recommendation development from specialists and stakeholders in the topic area under study."
The task force does hold a comment period for their recommendations, but some doctors feel these periods are not enough, and do not adequately engage medical specialists societies, Hughes said.

Thumper Nose art
20th AF - 73 Bomb Wing 497 Bomb Group (A) 869 Bomb Squadrons, Saipan
For price or custom configuration please contact us
A note from Mike Sienkiewicz.
My Father was the second pilot to fly Thumper. This B-29 # A square 21 was originally assigned to the 497th Bomb Group, 870th Bomb Squadron. My Father flew it to Chicago for a War Bond drive, and upon returning to Saipan, the aircraft was assigned to him. At that time he was assigned to the 497th Bomb Group, the 869th Bomb Squadron. My father, was at the time Captain Nicholas Sienkiewicz. He flew with Col. Robert Morgan on the first mission against The Japanese Homeland, Thanksgiving day 1944. He crashed on takeoff sometime after that mission, killing his crew with the exception of himself and his C.F.C gunner. After recovering from his injuries he was given Thumper to fly back to the States for a War Bond drive, and then returned to Saipan to continue the Bombing missions, which included the night incendiary raids at low level. I am not sure whatever happened to the aircraft, as he stayed on to fly the war wearies home. In Korea he flew C-47's, and after that Flew on with the Air force retiring a Lt. Colonel. I have quite a few bomb bay photographs, some of which are of the fire raids. Thanks for asking, and contacting me. If I can be of further help let me know.Another Thumper (comment by KAZ) Just wanted to pass along that the 504th BG on Tinian flew another B-29 named "Thumper". Plane Commander was Capt.James W. Cornwell, Pilot Lt. John J. Barcynski, which was lost over Yokohama, Japan May 29, 1945 on it's believed 23rd mission. On board was Col. James T. Connally as an observer from Gen. LeMay's staff, and had been the former Commander of the 504th. see other Nose art here

Company Helping to Turn Downed Branches into Fuel
SIOUX FALLS - You can't drive around Sioux Falls without seeing them - branches stacked up on the side of the road. Now, a Sioux Falls company is turning those branches into energy.
According to KSFY television, the Poet plant in Chancellor burns the wood after it has been reduced to chips to produce ethanol.
Since the April 9 ice storm, trucks continued to add fallen branches and tree limbs to Mueller Pallets' recycling pile, which is up to about 400 tons. Mueller's main client is the Poet plant in Chancellor, which uses the energy from burning these wood chips to produce ethanol.
Mueller Pallets primary businss is recycling used wood pallets, but due to the high volume of broken tree limbs caused by the April 9 ice storm, the company has changed its focus to using the collected branches.
Poet Biorefining General Manager Dean Frederickson says the plant is currently burning about 700 tons of wood per week.

Fiserv: For Mortgage Servicers, Data Integrity is Critical to Compliance
Posted: 5 February 2014 | Author: Gregg Lehman | Source: Fiserv
While meeting past compliance deadlines has often felt like running a marathon, many in the banking industry view meeting the approaching Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB's) mortgage servicing deadline as a flat-out sprint. Effective January 10, 2014, these final rules include amendments to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (Regulation X) and the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z).
What do these regulations – and the looming deadline – mean for financial institutions? The final mortgage rules pertain to several mortgage servicing areas, including periodic statements, interest-rate adjustment notices, prompt payment crediting and payoff payments, force-placed insurance, error resolution and information requests, early intervention with delinquent borrowers, continuity of contact with delinquent borrowers, loss mitigation procedures, and general servicing policies, procedures and requirements. The regulations also add an exemption for organizations that service 5,000 or fewer mortgage loans.
Loan servicers are racing to understand the new regulations and make the necessary changes in lending processes by the January deadline. This may involve system enhancements, internal procedure reviews and an examination of staffing requirements. When it comes to maintaining compliance with these new regulations, financial institutions should be especially mindful of information management and data integrity, and the complexity and challenge of completing the end-to-end loan process across multiple, disparate systems.
Data integrity – ensuring the accuracy and consistency of stored data – is often one of the biggest challenges for loan servicing. When loan files and histories were examined in the aftermath of the mortgage crisis, discrepancies were often found that made it nearly impossible to understand systems and decision-making processes. In light of new regulations created in response, it's especially important to ensure the accuracy of the loan file and maintain a comprehensive loan record that includes all signed legal documents. Automated systems take manual entry and its inherent risks out of the equation.
With an increasingly complex lending environment, lenders and loan servicers are looking for ways to become leaner and more efficient – and for ways to manage compliance with the new requirements that may not be supported by traditional lending technologies. A comprehensive compliance management system can capture and retain content, compare and route data, and track documents to minimize loan processing time, improve portfolio value and reduce lender exposure.
Standardized workflows and reporting functions further streamline processes and help facilitate potential audits. Automated systems provide an accurate record of work, help make sure the system of record matches the original, track missing documents across multiple processes, archive documents and communications, and remove paper-based systems from the process.
Maintaining compliance with Regulation X and Regulation Z may be an arduous task, but for financial institutions that take a broader view, there are other potential benefits that go beyond regulatory compliance. Loan servicers that move technology to the front of the process by capturing documents and using automation tools throughout the loan process save time, lower production risks and gain efficiencies.
An altered regulatory environment has changed nearly every aspect of the lending process. In the end, it's all about a fundamental shift to a more quality focused, borrower-centric lending model. By simplifying regulatory compliance, loan origination and servicing processes, loan servicers can reduce risk, increase customer satisfaction and enhance profitability.

UNC's McNally reacts to Fulkerson sentencing
University of Northern Colorado theater professor Tom McNally offered a pained reaction to last week's four-year prison sentence for colleague Vance Fulkerson on charges of sexual misconduct with students. McNally has worked with Fulkerson dating back to the now shuttered Loretto Heights College in Denver in the 1970s.
Here are comments:
"My only real feeling about it is that it really is a tragedy. I mean, it's the definition of tragedy – the fall of somebody from a very, very high spot.
I just continue to grieve so much for the victims. And as far as Vance? I am angry and upset with him, but I also understand, having now gotten eight months of information, that his troublesome and unnatural actions were due, at least in part, to his abused past life, where coming out about his true sexual orientation was really punished with beatings and being taken off by his religion and trying to be converted. Now, that does not justify one damn thing that he did. This turns out to be a real lose-lose situation. Vance loses the educational world; the theater loses, and the victims are No. 1 on the top of the list of people who lose, of course.
I don't know that the judge could have done differently. The therapists who worked with Vance concluded that he should not be incarcerated; that there should be another way; but nonetheless I think that Judge (Thomas) Quammen did what he legitimately thought should be done in this case.
The good news, for us, of course: This is finally concluded. This is finally over. This is finally done. And we're ready to move on. We're celebrating Catherine Pilafas and Jesse Datino being off-Broadway, and having kids in "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Wicked" and "West Side Story" and "The Addams Family" on Broadway, and a lot of students who are working in rep theater around the country, even at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, and so forth. So we're celebrating that and moving forward and just doing the best we can.
We are very, very excited about the applicants for the replacement of Vance's position. I mean, wow, the applicants we have are just really stunning. So I'm looking forward. I'm trying to not look backward.
But I'm telling you, it was a terrible situation, a terrible, terrible situation. I understand that he had a whole lot of psychological baggage, but dammit, the s.o.b. shouldn't have done what he did, period.
So anyway, I hope that the Fulkerson thing is now done, concluded, finished. God, I hope.

Hiking clothes – for those who love the outdoors
Are you planning an adventure that includes climbing Kebnekaise or hiking in the mountains? Then there are a few things that you should consider regarding hiking clothes.
For the ultimate comfort during your hike you should dress using the layer principle. It includes easily being able to add or remove a layer as it gets warmer or colder. The clothes must also be able to breathe and transport moist so that it doesn't stay under your clothes and make you cold. Do not wear clothes that are cotton-based as the material can't transport moist away from the body. It can be nice and warm in the valley and snowy and cold at the top.
Start with a base layer such as an undergarment, and always bring an extra with you. Then build outwards by adding a hiking shirt or functional shirt and a pair of comfortable hiking pants, if you're going a long distance. Then adapt the middle layer based on temperature by adding a shell jacket and pants. Always bring waterproof clothing such as a poncho that you can pull over both yourself and your backpack in case of rain. And don't forget a pair of proper hiking boots – consider your feet as they are going to carry you during your adventure.
At Arrak Outdoor we can offer you a solid foundation and dress you for your next hike. We have been working with outdoor clothing since 1999. We hope that you will have a great experience regardless of where in the world your adventure will take you.

ProCamera 1.032 APK Posted on: http://www.underclassblog.com/2016/06/procamera-1-032-apk.html
App Name: ProCamera
Version: 1.032
Package Name: com.breakpoint.procamera
Requirements: Android 4.0.3 and up
File Size: 1.4 MB
www.underclassblog.com - ProCamera gives you a fully functional stills camera application optimized for Samsung devices. Created with picture quality and minimal processing in mind.
→ For phones with Android 6+ Marshmallow, please see note below
Most phones do not yet support Google's Camera2 API, and thus can only save compressed JPEG files. In addition, most devices use artificial edge-sharpening and noise reduction algorithms which further reduce the quality the resulting pictures by adding halos around high-contrast areas and an oil painting appearance to highly detailed areas.
This app disabled all those enhancements. JPEG quality is set to 100, artificial sharpening/edge enhancements are disabled, picture resolution is set to maximum and noise reduction is also disabled (but can be enabled in the app) thus retaining more natural film grain.
• Selectable Histogram modes: Luma, RGB or both.
• Selectable ISO modes.
• Adjustable Exposure (not supported in all ISO modes, device dependant).
• Defeatable built-in sensor noise-reduction.
• Selectable Focus modes: Continuous AutoFocus or Touch to Focus.
• Orientation sensor updates Exif tag, can be locked.
• Shake detection.
• GPS data added to Exif tag.
No Twitter, Google+ or facebook integration.
No fisheye, cartoon or sepia filters.
* Due to the use of undocumented system calls, device compatibility CANNOT be guaranteed. The application may crash and/or some features me have no effect.
Please try "ProCamera Lite" for free before buying:
The app has been tested successfully on Samsung devices running ICS 4.0.2 and up. It may also work on a wider range of devices using CyanogenMod 9 and up.
* Pictures taken without noise reduction enabled may require retouching using an external app, especially with higher ISO settings. Processing on a PC can achieve far better results than the limited processing used in smartphones and tablets.
* Note: For devices using Marshmallow, a new permissions scheme has been added which this application does not yet fully support. As such, it will crash on launch.
You must go into Settings -> Applications -> ProCamera -> Permissions and manually enable the permissions the app requires.
Soon to be fixed.
Note: A problem still exists with some devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 where the app crashes on load. This is being investigated and most likely due to another Marshmallow permission issue.
+ Added threading of file writer, frame grabber code and reduced onDraw load.
NOTE: If you experience difficulties with downloading ProCamera 1.032 APK from given links below, please try to login first to those file hosting before download (it's free to create an account), make sure to uncheck "Use our download manager and get recommended downloads" if any.

Bed Mattress Tempurpedic in Florida the brand carries different models and designs for different preferences. A lot of research has been put into these mattresses to ensure the quality and effectiveness of a great mattress. Because of the advanced research and design of the mattress, Tempurpedic Cloud Price the pricing on them can be much higher than most people expect to pay for a mattress.

The first step I would take in looking for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale is by collecting store ads as they come in the mail. Furniture and mattress stores often mail out flyers and catalogues of their store items and display current or upcoming sales. These catalogues can prepare you to know about the sale and to also price shop based on the different store ads you receive.

Once you have decided to purchase this mattress, you should be prepared to wait for the best sale to come around.

Buying an analog camera wasn't a top priority for me, but the The Phoblographer's Guide to Affordable Film Rangefinder Cameras article piqued my interest, so I decided to check the local auction website to see whether I could find a Yashica Electro 35 camera. I was in luck: there it was — a Yashica Electro 35 GTN in nearly perfect condition. The price was right, so I bought it on the spot.
There are a few reasons why I chose this particular camera. Firstly, I like the design. The all-black body with metal top and bottom plates gives the camera an understated yet classy look. Secondly, Yashica Electro 35 is an aperture priority camera, and since I shoot in aperture priority mode most of the time, this camera is a perfect fit for me. And thirdly, this was one of the best-selling cameras of its time (according to various sources Yashica sold over eight million Electro 35s), and it remains a popular choice among analog shooters. This means that there are plenty of Yashica-related resources and helpful info (including the excellent Yashica Guy website) floating around on the web.
The camera duly arrived a few days later. It was, indeed, in good working condition, requiring only minor cleaning and a fresh battery. Finding film in our neck of the woods turned out to be easier than I thought: a local dealer has a decent selection of films, and I settled for Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400.
At the first opportunity I went for a photo walk armed with my Yashica Electro 35 GTN. As I expected, shooting analog turned out to be an interesting experience. Without all the creature comforts of a DSLR camera like auto focus, easily adjustable exposure compensation, a bright, and large viewfinder, I felt like a fish on a bicycle in the beginning. It took me about 10-15 shots to master the basics. A typical November day in Denmark doesn't offer a lot of light, so I was shooting in low light most of the time. The viewfinder in Yashica is rather dim by modern standards, so focusing was somewhat challenging at times. On the plus side, the 45mm f/1.7 Color Yashinon lens proved to be fast enough for low-light shooting.
Of course, there is no such thing as EXIF metadata in analog photography which would have been valuable for mastering the finer points of exposure and improving my analog photography skills. I'm contemplating the idea of creating a simple database on my Android device for keeping track of important bits like aperture, ISO, film type, and so on.
Overall, shooting film proved to be a refreshing and even liberating experience. There is no need to worry about developing RAW files and post-processing images. I use digiKam to organize digitized photos, but the images themselves don't require much tweaking, save for the occasional cropping and straightening. The only problem so far is that my lab delivers digitized photos in a rather low resolution, so I need to figure out how to convert negatives to high-resolution files.
So far, I only had a chance to take the Yashica Electro 35 GTN for a rather short photo walk, and I only have a few shots to show. But rest assured, it's not the last time I shoot with this gem of a camera.

One of the things I like to do to help me understand toki pona better is to pick a grammar/sentence structure from pu (e.g. NOUN + li + VERB + e + NOUN, or NOUN + ADJECTIVE), choose some words (relatively) randomly (e.g. NOUNS: esun, kili, akesi, sina; VERBS: toki, moku) and see what sentences I can make that (using the definitions as per pu).
Or another thing is to choose two words, and write them out using the different forms, e.g.
jan n. person, human, somebody
wan nu. one; adj. unique, united
jan wan (N + N) — one person
wan jan (N + N) — person one
jan wan (N + A) — unique person / united people
jan li wan (N + li + N) — somebody (has) one / somebody is one
jan li wan (N + li + A) — The person is unique / People are united / People are unique
(I did this some time ago, just found it.)
This is how I have understood things.
Has anyone done this, or something similar? Do people have other such exercises they use to help expand their understanding and usage of toki pona?

It was a shame that Droid X didn't launch with Android 2.2, but owners won't have long to wait for Froyo: A Motorola employee let slip that it'll be deployed by early September.
The statement came in the company's official message forum, where user Matt explained:
Some Droid X users are experiencing an issue using Exchange 2003 email. Though the email is arriving on the Droid X, no notifications are appearing. A fix for this will be included in the upgrade to Android 2.2 scheduled for deployment by early September.
Emphasis his. Good timing, with Evo 4G having already gotten its update and Droid 2 expected to launch this month with Android 2.2 already on board. [Motorola Support Forums via BGR]

Editor's Note: This article is based on Effective Java, Second Edition, by Joshua Bloch, which presents proven rules ("items") for improving your programs and designs (a format, by the way, borrowed from Scott Meyers's Effective C++. All in all, Effective Java, Second Edition consists of 78 items.
Item 4: Enforce Noninstantiability With a Private Constructor
Occasionally you'll want to write a class that is just a grouping of static methods and static fields. Such classes have acquired a bad reputation because some people abuse them to avoid thinking in terms of objects, but they do have valid uses. They can be used to group related methods on primitive values or arrays, in the manner of
java.lang.Math or
java.util.Arrays. They can also be used to group static methods, including factory methods (Item 1), for objects that implement a particular interface, in the manner of
java.util.Collections. Lastly, they can be used to group methods on a final class, instead of extending the class.
Such utility classes were not designed to be instantiated: an instance would be nonsensical. In the absence of explicit constructors, however, the compiler provides a public, parameterless default constructor. To a user, this constructor is indistinguishable from any other. It is not uncommon to see unintentionally instantiable classes in published APIs.
Attempting to enforce noninstantiability by making a class abstract does not work. The class can be subclassed and the subclass instantiated. Furthermore, it misleads the user into thinking the class was designed for inheritance (Item 17). There is, however, a simple idiom to ensure noninstantiability. A default constructor is generated only if a class contains no explicit constructors, so a class can be made noninstantiable by including a private constructor:
// Noninstantiable utility class public class UtilityClass { // Suppress default constructor for noninstantiability private UtilityClass() { throw new AssertionError(); } ... // Remainder omitted }
Because the explicit constructor is private, it is inaccessible outside of the class. The
AssertionError isn't strictly required, but it provides insurance in case the constructor is accidentally invoked from within the class. It guarantees that the class will never be instantiated under any circumstances. This idiom is mildly counterintuitive, as the constructor is provided expressly so that it cannot be invoked. It is therefore wise to include a comment, as shown above.
As a side effect, this idiom also prevents the class from being subclassed. All constructors must invoke a superclass constructor, explicitly or implicitly, and a subclass would have no accessible superclass constructor to invoke.

Adjusting Your Approach to Discipline
"Your child is a reflection of your parenting, for better and for worse. If your child's behavior is not meeting your expectations, the most likely 'fix' involves an adjustment in your approach," says Dr. Frank Lawlis in his book, Mending the Broken Bond. There are no set rules for parenting, and oftentimes, what works with one child may not work with another.
Below are tips for changing your behavior that will in turn change the way you and your child relate:
Show Positive and Negative Reinforcement
Children have to be taught socially acceptable behaviors, and this is done using positive and negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement involves rewarding desirable behaviors, and negative reinforcement is used to stop undesirable behaviors. For example, if your child is running around the house, you could punish him/her by saying, "No TV until you settle down," or you could offer a reward of, "If you settle down, you can watch TV tonight." Most children learn through a combination of these behaviors.
Studies show that parents who have problems with their children rarely use positive reinforcement. How would you feel if your boss only spoke to you from the perspective of blame and shame? "Children don't learn love for themselves from that sort of feedback," Dr. Lawlis points out. "You can expect their only responses to be anger, frustration, fear and rebellion."
Establish Specified Time-Outs
When placing you child in a time-out, make sure he/she has no access to items that entertain, such as: television, video games, books and toys. A time-out period needs to be away from any amusements. Remember, the duration of a time-out should be age-appropriate. If you have a toddler, the punishment should last no longer than two or three minutes. Any longer than that will decrease the impact of the punishment.
Teach Delay of Reward and Patience
Many times children interrupt their parents while they are in the midst of conversation with another adult. Parents tend to stop the conversation and explain to the child that it is not polite to interrupt. In this type of exchange, the wrong behavior is reinforced; the child succeeds in interrupting, and the parent has reinforced the rudeness by giving the child attention. In order to enforce the message of not interrupting, hold your child's hand or rub his/her back while you finish the conversation. As your child learns to wait for the appropriate time to get attention, reward his/her behavior.
Learn Your Child's Currency
Find out what your child greatly values and use that item as reinforcement. For example, children under age 7 usually value items like candy and activities like going to the zoo or swimming. They are also inspired by social reinforcements such as praise and acknowledgment. If your child behaves well in school, acknowledge the behavior by giving him/her a treat and/or praise. As your children get older, their currency will change. Teenagers are more interested in social rewards like hanging out with friends or participating in hobbies.
Deliver Appropriate Consequences
Make sure your punishment fits the child's actions. Don't react to bad behavior and do the first thing that comes to mind. Make sure your child understands what he/she has done wrong, and then take a moment to establish an equal punishment.
Cooperate Rather than Dictate
To build a mutually sensitive and caring relationship with your child, show him/her that your goal is to work together. Listen to what your child is saying and try to understand his/her perspective, and explain your concerns. "A parent's job is not to be right and win every battle," Dr. Lawlis says. "The command-and-control approach may be necessary for military leaders, but your mission is to mold a caring and responsible human being, not a fighting machine."
If your child is not responding to your parenting techniques, look for new approaches. The answers are closer than you think.
For more information on rebuilding the relationship with your child, read Mending the Broken Bond, by Dr. Frank Lawlis.
