After a an up-and-down 2013-14 Supercross season that was hampered by injuries, Cortez native Eli Tomac was looking forward to the outdoor season.

Finally healthy and excited to compete, the professional motocross star will make his outdoor season debut on June 28 at the Muddy Creek Raceway in Tennessee.
"I'm really close to 100 percent," said Tomac in a quote released by Gieger Media Global. "I feel 100 percent on my motorcycle right now. Come Saturday, I won't have any issues."
The 2013 motocross champion in the 250cc class, Tomac will race full-time in the 450cc class this year against the world's top riders.
"I'm going to go out there and go for it," said Tomac. "At this point, I don't have anything to lose. I won't do anything stupid and not finish, but I'm definitely going for podiums and wins now."
"The whole year has not been normal for me," said Tomac. "Hopefully, after this time off I've had, I can finally put the hammer down to end the season. I'm definitely excited to be back out there."
After racing in Tennessee this weekend, Tomac plans to compete in Buchanan, Mich., on July 5 before traveling to Washougal, Wash. to compete in an event on July 26.

Bree boosts ratings
Big Brother's voting hiccup has proved a ratings winner for Network Ten.
More than 1.7 million viewers tuned in to see Bree re-enter the race to win the $1 million prize money on Monday night after the reality TV contestant was wrongly ousted from the Big Brother house on Sunday.
That made it the most watched program nationally for the night.
Legion Interactive, the company responsible for counting the phone and SMS votes, took responsibility for the error, which occurred when a small number of votes were excluded from the tally.
"Naturally we are pleased with the ratings of [Monday] night, however it was a very stressful day for everyone working on the program and we would never intentionally wish these circumstances upon the individuals involved," a spokeswoman for Ten said.
Ten's ratings were followed by Seven's Today Tonight with 1.69 million viewers and National Nine News with 1.66 million.
In order, the remaining shows in the top 10 on Monday night were Seven News, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, A Current Affair, Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, The Great Outdoors, Australian Story and Home and Away.

Staten Island, NY – A bill pending in the Washington state Senate, SB 6452, seeks to protect the abortion industry and keep the truth about abortion's risks from women said leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign today.
"Senator Rodney Tom's bill to regulate pregnancy resource centers is not about protecting women, it's about protecting the abortion industry," said Janet Morana, co-founder of the SNMAC, the world's largest network of individuals harmed by abortion. "It's another thinly veiled attempt to keep women away from centers where they are actually given a choice other than abortion."
"The legislation is just plain dangerous," added Georgette Forney, another co-founder of the SNMAC. "It would use the outdated opinions of abortion proponents to bar pregnancy centers from telling women about the scientifically documented link between abortion and breast cancer. It's obvious that protecting the abortion industry is more important to Senator Tom than protecting women's lives."
"The science is there – more than two dozen studies from around the world show that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer. The latest study came out only this month," stated Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and Pastoral Director of the SNMAC. "I implore legislators, don't let the abortion industry hide the facts from women."
- 30 -
Since the launching of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign in 2003, 3,423 women and men have shared their testimonies publicly at over 489 gatherings in 48 states and seven countries where more than 103,583 attendees have heard the truth about abortion's negative aftereffects. More than 6,200 people are registered to be Silent No More. Raising awareness about the hurtful aftermath of abortion and the help that is available to cope with the pain are two of the Campaign's goals.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a joint project of Anglicans for Life and Priests for Life. For more information, please visit our website: www.silentnomoreawareness.org

In late October, when Superstorm Sandy battered the Northeast, parts of the Mid-Atlantic, and even the Midwest with heavy rain, damaging winds and devastating floods, the U.S. General Services Administration was ready.While this agency plays a significant role in the daily success of the federal government, our job is never more important than it is during an emergency. When disasters hit, it is our responsibility to ensure that first responders and government agencies have exactly what they need, when and where they need it.
During both the response and recovery from Sandy, GSA has provided vital services to help get needed assistance to affected communities throughout the country. The GSA Disaster Relief Program provides federal agencies, as well as local and state governments with quick access to disaster and emergency related supplies, equipment, and services. This program has enabled us to work with FEMA to target resources as diverse as medical supplies, generators, rental cars, portable water containers, portable toilets, wash stations, and even all-terrain vehicles to provide appropriate support to a variety of recovery efforts.
Whether it was fulfilling a shipment request of 1,000 chainsaws to support FEMA's relief efforts in Pennsylvania, securing office space in New York and New Jersey for government agencies supporting the relief effort, or locating a contractor who can supply a rare relay part needed to assist the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in getting the transit system back up and running, GSA staff found a way to provide what was needed.
Through our Disaster Relief Program we are making sure that the American Red Cross has access to the kind of important resources that they have identified as necessary for the recovery effort. We provided them with a comprehensive list of vendors to procure clothes for adults and children in shelters who have lost personal belongings in the flood. At the same time, GSA is providing important infrastructure in the midst of this crisis by making IT products and added services available to the entire federal government.
During an emergency, this system can be used to provide invaluable IT solutions for preparedness, response, and support during an emergency. Our IT center also provides state and local procurement programs to assist in disaster recovery and emergency response. Thanks to their access to our agency's cloud-based freight management program, FEMA has been able to ship 30 million pounds of much needed cargo, including generators, food, water, cots, and other supplies.
GSA has played an important role in the federal government's response to Superstorm Sandy. The men and women of GSA are dedicated to public service and were ready for this opportunity to help our fellow citizens. We recognized the fact that the magnitude of this storm created significant challenges, and GSA committed to making sure that every agency and every community received the kind of timely support and the necessary resources that they needed to move forward.

The Astoria White Roof Project is painting black roofs throughout the neighborhood with a white solar-reflective coating, which keeps the roofs at an ambient temperature, thereby cooling down the inside of the building.
Reverend Paul Milholland said the rectory was built in 1895 has two flat roofs that can heat up to 180 degrees in the summer months.
Councilman Peter Vallone, Jr. helped paint the roof on Trinity Church last week, the first roof to get repainted through the project.
"With temperatures and energy costs both rising, white roofing is a simple way for people to save some green while being green, " said Vallone. "I hopeful it will save residents money, help out the environment and prevent more blackouts like the one we suffered eight years ago."
In Astoria the project, sponsored in part by USPowerGen and Great White Coatings, will target low-income and nonprofit buildings to help save money on electricity bills by using less air conditioning.
"From our perspective energy is a commodity that should be treated as a scarce one," said John Reese, senior vice president to USPowerGen. "It should be used as efficiently as possible and white roofs are great for that."
In the process, two products are mixed together to create a substance that will become a solid in roughly 45 minutes. The product does not smell or include harsh chemicals, something that makes it attractive to schools and hospitals.
Jeff Copper, CEO of Epox-Z the company that manufactures the caoting for Great White Coatings proved the product was harmless, sticking his right index finder in a bucket of the mixture and spooning some into his mouth.
When asked how his stomach would feel in 45 minutes when the substance hardens into a solid he replied, "I've been doing this for years and I'm not dead yet."

How Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital began
Edward Shanklin Stuart was born in 1828, near the Antioch Church in the northeastern part of Christian County, Kentucky. His father, Samuel Stuart, died at the young age of 33, leaving his mother, Elizabeth Shanklin Stuart, to raise little Edward who was only five and his brother William.
Early settlers
Edward's paternal grandparents, William and Janet Stuart, were early settlers in the Antioch community, arriving in 1806 from North Carolina. His maternal grandparents, Edward and Mary Shanklin, came from Shenadoah County, Virginia, at about the same time and settled in Todd County, east of present-day Fairview.
Mary Shanklin, was a midwife. It is noteworthy that, in 1808, she attended the birth of Jefferson Davis, future president of the Confederacy, in a little cabin near the site of the present-day Jefferson Davis Memorial in Fairview.
Young Edward Stuart becomes a doctor
Perhaps his grandmother's work as a midwife sparked Edward's interest in medicine. In 1848, at the age of 20, Edward began a year of medical study under Dr. H. W. Darnell of Fairview. Then he attended the St. Louis Medical College for two years and graduated as a Medical Doctor.
Dr. Stuart returned to Christian County and set up practice in Crofton. A few years later, his mentor, Dr. Darnell, offered him a partnership, and Dr. Stuart accepted and moved back to Fairview.
Dr. Stuart's life in Fairview
1858 was a year of life changes for the doctor. Dr. Darnell retired, leaving Dr. Stuart to carry on the practice alone. And Dr. Stuart married a girl from Fairview, Miss Jane E. Vaughn, whom people called "Jennie".
Dr. Stuart and Miss Jennie had two children: May born in 1871 and Willie born in 1877 who died as an infant. (It is interesting that the Stuarts were married for 13 years before having children, but it is quite possible that there were miscarriages.) They also took a foster child, Sally Vaughn, into their home and raised her as their own.
William H. Perrin's History of Christian County, Kentucky, published in 1884, reports that Dr. Stuart owned about 900 acres of land in the Fairview area. It also notes that the doctor was well-respected as a medical practitioner and as a gentleman, that he was a Democrat who had steadfastly refused public office, and that he had been the high priest of the Masons in Fairview for fifteen years.
"Dr. Ed" and Miss Jennie enjoyed a marriage of over fifty years. In 1912, Miss Jennie fell in Hopkinsville while shopping and broke her hip. She was taken to the only nursing facility that Hopkinsville had at the time, an infirmary that a group of doctors had opened in an old house on the northwest corner of Fifth and Clay streets. She passed away there, about three weeks later.
The Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital
After Miss Jennie's death, Dr. Stuart found around $25,000 that she had saved and hidden throughout their Fairview home. Dr. Stuart donated that money and additional funds to build a proper hospital in Hopkinsville. The brick building was constructed on West 17th Street by the Forbes Brothers and opened in 1914 as the Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital. In addition to the funds he had already donated, Dr. Stuart willed his estate to the hospital.
The September 1, 1917, issue of the Kentucky Medical Journal included a few words about Dr. Stuart:
Dr E.S. Stuart, the venerable Fairview physician whose beneficience is responsible for Jennie Stuart Memorial hospital at Hopkinsville, on July 21st quietly celebrated his eighty ninth birthday today at his home. Dr Stuart is showing plainly the weight of his years but still enjoying good health and able to walk downtown in Fairview. The hospital which Dr Stuart has given Hopkinsville has proven to he one of the greatest gifts possible to suffering humanity. The splendid service it makes possible has been the mean of saving many lives.
The Jefferson Davis Memorial was built in Fairview just a block or two east of the doctor's home over a period of years beginning in 1917, and Dr. Stuart enjoyed watching its construction. This was the reason for many of his walks to downtown Fairview.
Dr. Stuart spent his last days in an apartment created for him at the Jennie Stuart Memorial Hospital and passed away there in 1922 at the age of 94. Today, Hopkinsville's Jennie Stuart Medical Center still honors the frugal Miss Jennie Stuart and the generous Dr. Edward Stuart in its name.
The Dr. Edward S. Stuart House
It seems likely that someone else built the house, and Dr. Ed and Miss Jennie bought it sometime after their marriage in 1858. The two-story front section of the house was added in a second construction, probably by the Stuarts. The east end of the addition contains the halls and stairways and the west end contains the living areas. Heat was not needed in the passageways, so only the west end has a chimney.

Thought I'd share.
Just did a 4 1/4lb eye of round roast during the wild card games. Started with a simple dry rub of Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, onion and garlic powder while grill heated up. Digital thermo inserted and roast placed on the grill while I cut up some red potato's, coated with a little mayo then covered with a packet of dry wishbone ranch dressing. Put the potatoes on when temp hit 90 degrees. Pulled roast at 119 to rest while potato's finished and corn/gravy completed.
Family loved every bit, minimal leftovers. Roast was very tender and juicy but not as pink as we like. Carryover temp continued to 131. I will take it out at 115 next time, hopefully ensuring definite red/pinkness.
Unfortunately, minimal leftovers for sandwiches tomorrow. Who would think with a 4.25lb roast. Compliments to the chef (grill).

* Melted Disney Princess Crayon Rainbow Canvas!
After making our melted crayon rainbow,
"C" announced that she wanted one for her room too.
I remembered this stash of Princess Crayons
(from our trip to Disney World three years ago).
They were never very fun to color with
which is why we had them leftover... now I know why,
they're made out of some kind of weird, harder wax than the crayola crayons.
I started out by gluing them to the top of our canvas (14" x14" square with wrapped edges)
with my glue gun. Had to use a lot of extra glue to secure them on the back
since they're molded figurines on top and I didn't want their heads to break off!
Then, we propped up the canvas on a stool in the art studio
and I got out my embossing (heat) gun from my stamping stash.
This was easier and faster to use than the hair dryer we used on the other project -
it also seemed to "splatter" less because the heat and air are more directed.
Open a window, this step is fumey.
See what I mean about weirdo wax?!
It's thick and clumpy and doesn't spread out! Ugh!
I started to panic that it wasn't going to work and thought the princesses looked
weird with their crayon stump bottoms!
So... to help spread the wax I grabbed a plastic gift card/hotel key
from my stash and used it to spread the hot wax with downward strokes -
like you're spreading frosting on a cake.
The plastic melts/warps a bit from the heat so you might want to use
a metal, artist's palette knife if you have one handy.
That's better.
Although the princess stumps do still look a bit weird - sort of like they are pooping rainbows...
Um, oh well. The girls like it, so I guess we'll call it done!
So there you have it, our two melty rainbow crayon canvases.
"E"'s traditional crayon rainbow and "C"'s princess crayon rainbow.
Happy Rainbow Making!
Fondly, Pink and Green Mama

To extend your play session a bit longer, there are thirty Harley Quinn balloons you can seek out and destroy. This is literally the only side activity in this DLC. There are no new Riddler challenges to puzzle over, no phone calls to answer, no optional villains to hunt down, and no other subplots to distract you. Harley is truly the focus here.
It's a shame, then, that she's so easy as a boss. You will fight her once as Robin and once as Batman, and you'll have much more trouble whittling down her guards than you will actually beating her. This is made more disappointing by the fact that there are some legitimately challenging segments throughout the story. It seems odd that the whole story would revolve around Harley, only to basically hold your hand through her final showdown.
In the end, Harley Quinn's Revenge is an excuse to go back to a game you probably still haven't earned 100% completion in yet. It extends the game by a couple hours and gives you face time with the Boy Wonder. If that doesn't appeal to you, then by all means skip it. But for those of us who've been dying for an excuse to return to Arkham City, we finally have a pretty good one. The ten-dollar price tag might be a tad steep for the amount of content here, but I'd venture to say it's ultimately worth it. And really, I can't think of a better Batman-related activity to take part in while you're waiting for The Dark Knight Rises to hit theaters.

"Faustina: Messenger of Divine Mercy," the live theatrical one-woman drama performed by actress Maria Vargo and directed by Leonardo Defilippis of Saint Luke Productions, will be presented at St. Mary Catholic Church in DeKalb.
The performance will be at 6:30 p.m. April 9. Admission costs $10 each or $45 for a family of five or more. The production runs 90 minutes, and is suitable for ages 12 and older.
In "Faustina: Messenger of Divine Mercy," audiences experience firsthand the spirit and life of Polish mystic Saint Faustina, whose personal encounters with Jesus have inspired a worldwide devotion to Christ's Divine Mercy. A parallel modern story within the drama offers audiences a personal connection to the current moral issues of our times.
Faustina Kowalska was born Helena Kowalska in 1905, into a large peasant family in Poland. She really had no potential for greatness – a poor girl, destined to be a housekeeper, with no education or prospects. Yet she longed for God, and despite the protests of her parents, and after a vision of Jesus telling her to head for Warsaw and become a nun, she secretly hopped on a train. Upon reaching the city, she knocked on the doors of convents until The Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy finally took a chance on this young girl, and let her in. As a nun she took the name Sister Maria Faustina, and spent the rest of her life doing menial work as a cook and as a gardener.
In 1930, the mystical visions started for the young nun, Sister Faustina Kowalska. Jesus appeared to her in a white garment, with rays of white and red light emanating from near His heart. He asked her to paint His image, with the message, "Jesus, I trust in You" across the bottom. That was the beginning of a very special mission that took years to develop into a powerful devotion for the Church – the Divine Mercy.
Jesus continued to speak through Sister Faustina, with an urgent message for our times, and He gave her a special prayer, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, which spread throughout the world like wildfire. Faustina continued to keep a diary of her visions, until she died of tuberculosis in 1938.
St. Mary is located at 329 Pine St.

Dr. Edythe Abdullah, Ms. Carol Thompson
Minutes for the September 28, 2006 meeting were approved.
There were no comments from the public.
Vice President Shuman stated that the Athletics, Health and Activity and Service Fees Committee was comprised of 50 percent staff/faculty and 50 percent students, with the chair rotating between these groups each year. She stated that there was a unanimous decision from this committee, regarding the proposed fees.
Vice President Shuman stated that the Legislature mandated these fees be no more than 40 percent of the matriculation fee. She spoke about tuition, stating a 3 percent increase would yield 77 cents for student fees, and a 5 percent increase would yield $1.36 for student fees – this committee based their proposal on the 3 percent increase (77 cents).
Vice President Shuman stated the committee was recommending an increase of 43 cents for Athletics and 34 cents for Student Government. She spoke about Athletics, stating this increase would allow this program to be more competitive in its conference. She then addressed Student Government, stating they had not received an increase in several years, despite the increase in student population and the impact this growth had on existing student programs.
Trustee Kendrick asked for clarification regarding Athletics – what would this department do with this increase. President Delaney stated this increase would provide additional scholarships, funds for travel, recruitment and additional coaches for both women's and men's programs. Vice President Shuman stated this increase was not needed to balance Athletics' budget but to allow the program to advance at a faster pace.
Trustee Halverson asked for clarification regarding the 40 percent cap on the matriculation fee – how did UNF rank within the SUS. Vice President Shuman stated that all other SUS institutions were close to the 40 percent mark, excluding Florida State University and the University of Florida – these schools ranked much lower because of their student body size and the large volume of athletic ticket sales.
Committee Chair Twomey asked for a motion to approve the athletics, health and activity and service fees. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman stated the Parking Fee Committee had unanimously approved this proposed rate schedule.
Vice President Shuman previewed proposed changes as follows:
Vice President Shuman spoke about future parking spaces, stating that two parking lots would be going off line to accommodate the new student union and education buildings, and 1,000 new spaces would be built in the north lot.
Vice President Shuman discussed parking space inventory projections, stating current enrollment growth would require a new garage before August 2010. She stated that financial projections showed there would be a significant increase from the garage built in 2006-07, and long-term permit sales and increased permit rates would provide some debt service for this new garage.
Trustee Klostermeyer stated that he was a part of the Parking Fee Committee and felt this proposal received considerable thought, including consideration of many different combinations of categories and rates.
President Delaney stated that he realized how a modest swing in dollars would have a big impact on students and lower paid employees – this committee had been sensitive to that.
Committee Chair Twomey asked for a motion to approve the parking permit rates for 2007-08. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Serwatka stated that there were two major changes to the bylaws. He addressed these changes as follows.
Vice President Serwatka spoke about the first change, stating that this change was to accommodate SACS criteria. He referenced the SACS criteria in the meeting materials, commenting that the items listed in red directly related to the Board's and the President's responsibilities. The statements listed in blue outlined SACS requirements regarding continuous improvement and scrutiny of specific programs and services. The statements in italics reflected recent changes in SACS criteria. Vice President Serwatka stated that the proposed bylaw changes addressed the operation of the Board, providing a clear statement of the role of the Board versus the President and the institution.
Vice President Serwatka addressed the second set of proposed changes, stating that at the request of the Board, the University was proposing an ethics statement for the members of the Board. This proposed statement was derived from similar statements from other universities and materials from the Association of Governing Boards.
Trustee Halverson stated that the language was healthy and a helpful representation of good governance. He suggested that logical explanations of Section 3 be added to provide guidance on interpretations. He also suggested that the Board adhere to the same policy regarding discrimination as faculty and staff.
President Delaney stated that he wanted to make it clear that the Board was allowed to recommend a good hire. He stated that the University wanted the Board to announce potential employment candidates. Trustee Halverson stated that good guidance should be provided so there was no ambiguity.
Vice President Stone stated that she would develop the recommended statements. Committee Chair Twomey asked for a motion to approve the bylaws subject to the suggested changes. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Owen stated that this item was being presented in preparation for the University's upcoming SACS visit. She stated that the University determined a need for the Board to reaffirm the delegations of authority, in one comprehensive resolution. Vice President Shuman clarified that this action would present a clear statement of the President's authority, and be found in one location.
Vice President Shuman stated that this item included one new delegation of authority which allowed for the transfer of funds from reserve accounts in amounts not exceeding $200,000. She stated that amounts exceeding $200,000 but less than $500,000 would require oversight by the chair of this committee, and amounts exceeding $500,000 would be under the purview of the full Board.
Committee Chair Twomey requested a report summarizing these transfers, regardless of the amounts, be prepared for oversight by this committee. Vice President Shuman stated she would prepare this report as part of the quarterly report.
Trustee Kendrick asked for clarification regarding the amount of transfers over $200,000. Vice President Shuman stated there were very few individual transfers over $200,000 but the upcoming relocation to the AOL building might result in larger transfers.
Trustee Twomey stated it was important for this committee to see all of these transfers. He asked that language be added to this delegation of authority reflecting these transfers to be reported back to this committee and/or the Board.
Vice President Shuman stated that she would incorporate the suggested change. Committee Chair Twomey asked for a motion to approve the delegation of authority subject to the suggested change. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Shuman stated that plans were for a shuttle system to be operational by fall 2007 – contingent on the completion of the road to the northern lot, which was a part of the Master Plan.
Vice President Shuman stated that a consultant was hired to complete a transit route and vehicle needs analysis and this report would be available in January 2007. She stated this report would include two routes encompassing the north lot, the library and the AOL building, with four to five stops on each route and five to seven-minute headways.
Vice President Shuman addressed the costs of the shuttle system, stating that last year, the Board approved a transportation access fee of up to $1.60 per credit hour – the new fee would be determined when the proposed routes were chosen and would begin when the road to the northern lot opened.
Trustee Klostermeyer stated the timing of the shuttle system with the AOL building was crucial. He asked if there would be a final decision regarding the purchase of the AOL building prior to the shuttle system becoming operational. Vice President Shuman stated that this decision should be prior to the shuttle's début; however, the full fee amount did not have to be charged. She stated that operational costs for the shuttle would be based on service hours and bids would be based on that.
This item was presented for information only. No further action was required.
Vice President Shuman stated that as of November 2006, 34 percent of the total budget was expended. She stated that it was anticipated that 99 percent of the total budget would be expended by the end of the fiscal year – at this point, there were no anticipated budgetary issues.
Committee Chair Twomey asked for clarification regarding reserves. Vice President Shuman stated that auxiliary reserves were being used for expenditures that did not qualify for Educational and General (E&G) funds; i.e., permitting for Greek Road, permitting for the sanctuary, etc. She stated that reserves which were high included money set aside for the student union, student housing, student medical center and student medical services – all of which were upcoming construction projects.
Vice President Shuman stated that the report provided was as of October 30, 2006 – November numbers were not available on time for this meeting. She stated that the University had entered into a contract with Sawgrass Management and this company was working on custody agreements for three different investments.
Committee Chair Twomey asked that a meeting be scheduled between himself and Vice President Shuman to discuss each of the three investments. Vice President Shuman agreed to schedule this meeting.
UNF's Director of Internal Auditing, Dr. Marty Khan, addressed the committee and gave an audit update, starting with his review of the Honors Program. He stated that as a result of his recommendations there were more frequent meetings between the Director of Honors and Dr. David Jaffee, Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Studies. Dr. Khan spoke about other issues addressed: delegation of authority and oversight from Academic Affairs, including issues regarding admissions and scholarships; and Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLO's) guidelines.
President Delaney stated that it was the intent of the University to rejuvenate the Honors Program with oversight from Provost Workman and Dr. Jaffee. He stated that there was consensus that this was an excellent program and plans were to expand this into a four-year program, with increased management oversight.
Provost Workman stated that he was working to extend the Honors Program experience by integrating it with upper level programs to encompass all four years – this would create a sounder academic program.
Trustee Halverson stated Dr. Khan's report was a good one and it included objectivity and candor. Trustee Halverson stated that he supported the Honors Program and hoped to see the program become better, operationally and academically.
Committee Chair Twomey spoke about the Office of Internal Auditing's Quality Assessment Review conducted by the Inspector General from the University of West Florida. He stated that he was satisfied with the contact between this committee and the Office of Internal Auditing but he would like to formalize a regular meeting schedule, two to three times per year, to include the Director of the Office of Internal Auditing and the Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee – with an invitation to all other members of this committee.
Committee Chair Twomey stated that Dr. Marty Khan was highly regarded as a leader but there was concern regarding the small staff in the Office of Internal Auditing. He spoke about this discussion in previous budget meetings, stating now might be the time to formalize this issue.
Committee Chair Twomey stated that the University was growing and becoming more complex. He suggested that the Executive Committee meet to discuss this issue. Trustee Halverson concurred with this suggestion, stating this was good governance. President Delaney stated that recommendations would be forthcoming to hire additional staff in the office.
Committee Chair Twomey adjourned the meeting.

Bad Software Can "Enronize" AnyoneBy Lewis Koch | Posted 2002-03-18 Print
It's up to you to keep hackers out of your systems.
"Kenny Boy" Lay and his cohorts at Enron sold the world on a badly flawed company, whose innards were twisted beyond reclamation, but were beyond their responsibility. Or so they would claim.
So, in the extreme, can it be with companies producing defective computer software.
What is the difference between peddling a stock or a product as having value, when in reality, insiders know what is being sold is unreliable, unsound and unworthy?
There is no ultimate arbiter of the quality of software, except for the experience of the buyer. But the National Infrastructure Protection Center keeps a list of "high risk'' software where there is "no workaround or patch'' for an identified flaw. On the list are products from little-known companies such as Avirt, Ball Crew, Black Moon, CDRDAO, Chinput, Clanlib and Enlightenment. Also appearing on the list are Microsoft (nine times), Oracle (four times) and Cisco Systems. And this is a partial list from one week, Jan. 28, 2002.
This doesn't mean any of these companies are rotten, as Enron proved to be. But the risks have to be removed, if corporations are to buy and use software with the kind of reliability that will allow them to concentrate on the valid mission of "creative destruction" of rivals.
To its credit (although seemingly late in the game), Microsoft is working with a quartet of computer security firms to develop an appropriate policy for providing "full disclosure'' to potential corporate buyers, regarding flaws. It is then allowing a limited process closed to the outside to come up with a method for dealing with the flaws.
By disclosing flaws to a closed community, the hope is that the risks to that community will be reduced. Only those who need to know about flaws will know about them. The reasoning behind this is that full public disclosure can have the adverse effect of "providing blueprints for building (software) weapons [i.e. viruses, worms, etc.]."
The problem here is that limited release of information about flaws may not actually protect companies from those "weapons." Systems managers—who don't have the ken or interest in finding holes in products they just want to use—aren't likely to be a really effective pool of product testers, when it comes to security flaws. They aren't practiced hackers.
Chicago computer security consultant William Cummins, for instance, believes corporations need to tap into the hacker underground more, rather than less. He contends the flaws and fixes that do get publicized are old. The useful ones are kept private among hackers. Nonetheless, he says, there are literally thousands of exploits floating around in the "wild," discussed and exchanged, without security consultants, federal agents, or information systems staff having the slightest clue.
One solution: Put someone on your information technology staff that has a clue about what is happening in the computer programming underground so your company is not just listening to the feds who generically warn that hackers are causing the computer-sky to fall.
Second solution: Assign personnel on your staff to constantly attempt to uncover flaws and expose holes in programs your company wants to use. Participate with other companies in joint vulnerability tests.
Third solution: Post a reward—in cash or in computing equipment—inside your company to encourage staff to find software flaws. You will improve company morale as well as the security of the business. Make the results public (after the problem is both identified and fixed). You can't buy better publicity.
Fourth solution: If you purchase software by the hundreds or thousands of seats, insist your in-house legal talent find a "workaround" from those crippling "shrink-wrap laws" that prevent any financial redress for bugs or holes in the software you purchase.
"Full disclosure"—which will actually lead to limited public disclosure—will work only if companies attack pre-release and post-release software with as much vigor as hackers.

Bachelor of Arts
4000+ students have graduated from our Bible program
BJU's Bible program prepares you for a lifetime of faithful gospel ministry, whether as a pastor, assistant pastor, youth pastor, evangelist, missionary or Christian worker.
First you will learn the importance of growing in Christ and having a strong, personal relationship with God. You will learn why it is essential to develop a deep and working knowledge of the Word of God, a compassionate spirit and the ability to teach others.
You will also learn how the Bible must shape your philosophy of ministry. In the spirit of Ezra 7:10 you will be taught to seek God's Word, to obey it and to teach it to others.
BJU's Bible program is a complete 4-year baccalaureate degree that exposes you to the entire text of the Scripture. All coursework springs from a cohesive worldview, based solidly in Scripture, with complete adherence to the inspiration, inerrancy and authority of the Bible.
You will be thoroughly trained in exegesis, exposition and homiletics. You will also have the option of studying the original languages. In addition you will receive extensive, practical training in multiple types of ministry situations, including a church internship. In fact, every Bible student takes 8 credits of ministry practice. You will learn the basics of day-to-day ministry, which includes delegation, proper handling of church funds and appropriate responses to the legal challenges of ministry.
BJU's Bible program is unique in that it integrates both biblical and systematic theology, which lay a solid foundation for future seminary training.
BJU Core
As you study the Bible, the BJU Core—a comprehensive range of liberal arts courses—will broaden your perspective in order to understand the intricacies of the world in which you live. You will learn how to better relate to a diverse group of people who come from a variety of life situations and vocations. You'll improve your ability to reason and gain insight into how the world works so you can, like Paul in Athens, more effectively speak to those who have not accepted God's way of salvation.
Electives in camp ministry, women's ministry and youth ministry partner perfectly with your Bible program and allow you to focus your education to the specific area God has called you. Many students choose to minor in Greek, speech or business. You can also use your electives to take courses in music, counseling, languages and many other areas.
J. Mark Kittrell, '86
Staff Evangelist for Open Door Baptist Church; Troutdale, Ore.
As a preacher, I feel my education was outstanding. I was prepared well in the original languages, study of the Scriptures, expository preaching, ministry ethics and other things. But the most important is that my education had heart. It was not just a bunch of intellectuals cramming information into my head. Their teaching had "feeling" and experience behind it.

Learning Experience
Weekly Outreach Ministries
Our students put into practice what they are learning by participating in weekly outreach ministries where they preach, teach and visit with people. Bible students also intern in local churches where they study under experienced leaders. An evangelist founded BJU and this emphasis remains to this day. Every week a variety of outreaches take place in the local community and beyond. From sports evangelism to nursing home outreaches, children's ministries to music ministries, prison outreaches to church ministries, you will have opportunities for practical education within a ministry that fits your gifts and desires. Many of these ministries connect you with local believers in need of spiritual encouragement or short-term partnering to share the good news to those in need of Christ.
Missions Advance
Missions Advance is a student-led group whose purpose is to stimulate missionary zeal and vision on campus. Their goal is to cultivate the student body's passion for God's glory, resulting in greater participation in world missions through learning, praying and mobilizing.
- Learning: by inviting speakers, giving presentations, and providing missionary letters to better inform students' prayers
- Praying: by spending a majority of the meetings interceding for God's work around the world and for God to send laborers into His harvest
- Mobilizing: by offering avenues through which the student body can be involved in mission work while in school
Missions Advance meets every Monday and Thursday night.
There are options for you in partnering with local churches in ministry. The personalized instruction and discipleship they provide will prepare you to meet future challenges and give you insight into the inner workings of a church body.
Student Leadership Development
You can take advantage of the support offered in the Student Leadership Initiative. Several times each semester you will meet with fellow student leaders to learn more about being a servant-leader during panel discussions, guest speaker presentations and more.
Mack Library
You have a great number of resources available to you at BJU's library, including thousands of articles, sermons and books, among other things. The Fundamentalism File has more than 115,000 items of information concerning the "history of religion in our time," as described by Dr. Bob Jones Jr. Also included are our Children's Ministry Resources and our Sermon Index.
Jason Ormiston
Division of Bible
Our outstanding faculty has more than 218 years of combined teaching experience in preaching and other pastoral and evangelistic roles.
Many of our faculty hold either terminal degrees in their fields or have extensive practical ministry and teaching experience.
Our faculty's sound, exegetical teaching is combined with their desire to mentor you, as you prepare to serve Jesus Christ in ministry.
Summer mission teams
A summer ministry opens your eyes to Jesus' church around the globe and to the needs people have. During this concentrated period of service in the field, you will experience the sweetness of communion with saints from other lands, and grow in your love for God's people and for those who have not yet encountered hope through Jesus Christ.
Local Churches
The Greenville area is uniquely blessed with more than 50 Bible-believing, Bible-preaching churches, which provide a broad spectrum of opportunities for students to gain practical ministry experience. These churches are great places to get involved in preaching, singing and ministering to others. Some churches even offer associate memberships for students who want to become more involved or have additional accountability. Whether you connect to a large church or a small church, there is a place for you here.

Dear Editor,
Factory farms stink. They pollute our air and water, lower our property values, weaken rural economics and make us prisoners in our own homes. I know this because I have 30,000 factory farm hogs with a 5 mile radius of my home.
There have been over 800 manure spills in recent years and Iowa now has 628 polluted waterways.
Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI) is the only statewide power organization in Iowa that fights factory farms from being built. In 2012, Iowa saw a massive expansion of factory farms all across the state and we are expecting more this year.
I knew I had to take a stand against factory farms and their pollution so I called iowa CCI. I've been a member now for 17 years. During that time we've stopped over 8 dozen factory farms and improved the quality of life for thousands of Iowans.
We help empower communities across the state to stop factory farms, make sure the Department of Natural Resources is enforcing the laws on the books and help pass good legislation that protects everyday Iowans from factory farm pollution. We are urban and rural, black and white, young and old and we've been standing up for clean air and water for 28 years.
If there is a proposed factory farm near you and you and your neighbors are ready to stand up and take action contact Iowa CCI at 515-282-0484 or email@example.com.

The weekend's predicted snowstorm is already wreaking havoc with both high school and college sports schedules. As of mid-afternoon on Thursday, many changes had already been made, and more were likely. (More were made late afternoon and are reflected in online scoreboard.)
Sunday morning update: At Middlebury College, the home basketball games scheduled vs. Trinity for this afternoon have been pushed back three hours. The Panther men will host Trinity at 5 p.m., and the women will host the Bantams at 7 p.m. As of 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, college officials said there remained a chance Trinity would not make the trip. If so, an announcement would be made on Sunday morning. As of about 11 a.m., there was no word Trinity would not show up, but fans might want to check at middlebury.edu and click on athletics before making the trip to Pepin. As previously announced, the men and women will host Amherst on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7 p.m., respectively.
Also, the author apologizes for the confusion on the men's and women's hockey games: The Panther men will host Williams at 4 p.m. today, not the Panther women. The Independent plans to cover that game, and a write-up will appear in the Feb. 11 edition.
Friday afternoon update: Middlebury College just announced the postponement of Saturday's Amherst-Middlebury basketball doubleheader. The men's game will be played instead at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, and the women's game at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. No word yet on the Williams-Middlebury men's and women's hockey games set for Saturday on both campuses at 4 p.m.
As of then, at Middlebury College the men's and women's basketball home games vs. Trinity set for Friday night were postponed. College officials said those games could be rescheduled for Sunday afternoon. If not, new times early in the week are likely because seeds for next weekend's NESCAC basketball quarterfinals are at stake. So far, both Panther squads' Saturday afternoon home games vs. Amherst are still a go.
The Panther men's and women's hockey teams were each set to play Williams on Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. Instead, those games were moved to Saturday and Sunday, with all four games to start at 4 p.m. The Panther men — in second place entering the next-to-last weekend of NESCAC play — will travel to Williams on Saturday and host on Sunday, while the Panther women — who will be seeking to nail down the top seed in the league as the regular season ends — will host on Saturday and visit the Ephs on Sunday.
So far on the high school level, only one game had been moved as of midafternoon on Thursday: The Middlebury boys will entertain Milton on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. instead of on Friday at 7 p.m.
Almost certainly, more changes are coming: Also scheduled to play on Friday, when the worst of the storm is expected, are the Vergennes and Mount Abraham boys' hoop teams, against each other at Mount Abe, and the Middlebury boys' hockey team, on the road in Lake Placid.
The Independent's online schedule will be updated as quickly as possible. College information may be found at middlebury.edu.


text: DL Deadrin Senat of Immokalee, FL made his official visit to NC State over the weekend. Reached as he was boarding his plane, Senat said he did not commit to State and asked to be contacted later. He was favoring USC going into the visit. Gamecock head coach Steve Spurrier made his in home visit with Senat last week.

President Donald Trump praised a St. Andrew Catholic School in Florida as the kind of school that disadvantaged children should be able to choose for their education.
Trump visited the school on Friday and told its principal that "the love you have for what you do is really fantastic."
Trump arrived at Orlando International Airport on Air Force One around 1 p.m. He was joined on the plane by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Florida Gov. Rick Scott greeted Trump on the tarmac.
The president started his tour of the school with a visit to a fourth-grade classroom.
Trump shook hands with a pair of students who told him they were learning about the history of Florida.
The president singled out Denisha Merriweather, a former failing student who turned her life around once she chose a new school, saying, "We want millions more to have the chance to achieve the success that you're achieving."
He then joked to one girl who said she wanted to have her own business that she's "gonna make a lot of money. But don't run for politics."
Trump also praised Florida, noting that he captured it in last fall's election.
The visit is Trump's first to a school as president and it gives a strong indication of where his priorities lie. Teachers unions were quick to criticize the plan, saying it shows Trump's hostility toward public schools and his intention to turn education into a profit-making industry.
There were more than 100 protesters outside the school when Trump arrived

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jerry Horn
Amarillo, TX – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, announced today the culmination of a three-year project to assist priests to preach on abortion and the Culture of Life.
"For the past three years, I have written homily hints on how to take the readings assigned to each Sunday and preach on abortion," Fr. Pavone said. "The lectionary has a three-year Sunday cycle, and today we completed the reflections for each Sunday of each of the three years. Now, these homily hints can be used as each cycle continues to repeat through the years."
Fr. Pavone has preached on abortion throughout the 50 states each day since September of 1993. A careful analysis of the responses of the people, integrated with a careful study of the pastoral plan of the United States bishops, has produced an approach that preachers can rely on with confidence.
The reflections are available online at www.priestsforlife.org/liturgy. Priests, deacons, and parish ministers can also receive a weekly email with the homily hints for upcoming Sundays, as well as a set of General Intercessions for Mass and a paragraph on pro-life issues for the parish bulletin. The email can be requested at email@example.com.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.
