Fan of extreme and long tours? On rough roads, over stony tracks out in the wild, too? Tarmac, offroad, stones and sand: These are the challenges the new BMW R 1200 GS Adventure Triple Black is longing to master with its easy and agile handling. A machine for those who want to test their limits and go beyond them. Or to put it briefly: A motorcycle for riders who are seeking real adventure and don't want to miss out on a great deal of riding pleasure in the process.
Conquer any type of terrain on an enduro which meets all your practical needs. Two standard-fitted ride modes – "Rain" and "Road" – are available at the press of a button and offer two completely different, finely tuned riding experiences. It's like having two motorcycles in one. Further riding modes are also available as an option.
A 30 litre fuel tank combined with the engine's optimised fuel efficiency really make you "unstoppable" on and off the road making unwanted stops a thing of the past. In addition the standard level of equipment has been improved to include an on-board computer. This enables perfect navigation and provides the rider with useful data such as fuel level, speed and fuel consumption.
This travel enduro is rounded off by a newly integrated compartment above the tank which allows you to keep small items within reach at all times.
The R 1200 GS Adventure Triple Black responds dynamically in any situation thanks to the legendary 125 Nm of flat-twin torque and 125 bhp delivered by the new, water-cooled 2-cylinder 4-stroke engine.
The R 1200 GS Adventure Triple Black is also characterised by its unmistakable design, further improved seating comfort, wind and weather protection and by its muscular presence.

HOUSTON, Dec. 18, 2012 – ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its Algerian business unit for a total of $1.75 billion plus customary adjustments. The proposed sale is subject to co-venturer preemption rights and Algerian government approval.
ConocoPhillips has entered into an agreement with Pertamina to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, ConocoPhillips Algeria Ltd., which holds interests in three major onshore oil fields located either fully or partially in Block 405a, Menzel Lejmat North (65 percent, operated), Ourhoud (3.7 percent, nonoperated), and EMK (16.9 percent, nonoperated). ConocoPhillips' 2012 net production from these fields averaged 11 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day through October, and at Oct. 31, 2012, the net carrying value of ConocoPhillips' Algerian assets was approximately $850 million.
"The sale of our Algerian business unit represents another important step in transforming ConocoPhillips' asset base, and advances the strategic interests of both Pertamina and ConocoPhillips," said Don Wallette, executive vice president, Commercial, Business Development, and Corporate Planning.
The transaction is anticipated to close by mid-2013. Through Sept. 30, 2012, the company's 2012-13 asset disposition program has yielded proceeds of $2.1 billion. Including this transaction, the company has announced additional asset sales that are expected to generate proceeds of approximately $7 billion when complete. Funds generated from these transactions are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.
The proposed sale of its Algerian business unit is part of ConocoPhillips' plan to increase value for shareholders through portfolio optimization, focused capital investments that deliver growth in production and cash margins, improved returns on capital, and sector-leading shareholder distributions.

Directory Server runs as a multithreaded process, and is designed to scale on multiprocessor systems. You can configure the number of threads Directory Server creates at startup to process operations. By default Directory Server creates 30 threads. The value is set using the dsconf(1M) command to adjust the server property thread-count.
The trick is to keep the threads as busy as possible without incurring undo overhead from having to handle many threads. As long as all directory data fits in cache, better performance is often seen when thread-count is set to twice the number of processors plus the expected number of simultaneous update operations. If only a fraction of a large directory data set fits in cache, Directory Server threads may often have to wait for data being read from disk. In that case you may find performance improves with a much higher thread count, up to 16 times the number of available processors.
Directory Server uses file descriptors to hold data related to open client application connections. By default Directory Server uses a maximum of 1024 file descriptors. The value is set using the dsconf command to adjust the server property file-descriptor-count. If you see a message in the errors log stating too many fds open, you may observe better performance by increasing file-descriptor-count, presuming your system allows Directory Server to open additional file descriptors.
The file-descriptor-count property does not apply on Windows.

Feb. 11, 2007
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons started off the 2007 season in a successful way with a sweep of the Western Carolina Catamounts.
In the first game Sunday afternoon at sunny, but chilly, Draper Diamond the Lady Bisons won 1-0 in the first game and 5-1 in the second. The Catamounts won the regular season title in the Southern Conference last season.
The Lady Bisons started six freshman and one junior college transfer in game one and six freshman in game two.
"We are young, but we have more talent than last season and the competitiveness overall has stepped it up a level," second-year Lady Bisons coach Kristin Peck said. "They know the talent is there. We expected a few jitters early in the game and there were a few, but I thought we held our composure pretty well."
Junior Kim Jacobson pitched the shutout for the Lady Bisons, striking out eight hitters and walking only two. She scattered four hits.
"Kim has worked very, very hard," Peck said. "She is somebody who continues to gain confidence every time out. We are going to look to her a lot to lead a very young pitching staff.
"She made a comment in the fall that she wasn't a strike out pitcher. In the past she hasn't been. She has depended on a lot of ground balls. But she kept Western Carolina off-balance very well."
Julia Davidson, the first person to hit a home run at Draper Diamond last season's opener, repeated her opening game feat blasting a solo shot over the left field fence in the first inning for what proved to be the game-winner.
"Julia is going to be big bat for us all year," Peck said. "She has power to all fields. She has a lot of pop in her bat. She is a veteran. Her home run was big."
The Lady Bisons managed only four hits against Western Carolina pitcher Mendy McKenzie. Hitting singles for the Lady Bisons were right fielder Leigh Little, second baseman Kristie Sirus and shortstop Abby Keese.
The Lady Bisons had runners on base in every inning but the fourth but could not get another run.
In the second game the Lady Bisons took control with a pair of two-run home homers, one each by first baseman Heather Collins and designated hitter Christy Grisham.
The Lady Bisons struck first in the game in the second inning. Third baseman Kellie Sirus opened with a double to center field. Grisham advanced her to third with a sacrifice bunt to the pitcher. Keese singled to bring in Sirus with the run. Pitcher Christen Campbell followed with a double to move Keese to third with one out. But catcher Niki Bails struck out and centerfield Lauren Dortwegt grounded out to end the inning.
Western Carolina tied the game in the third when Ashley Adams hit a double to bring in McKenzie.
In the fifth the Lady Bisons broke it open with two home runs, both coming after two outs. Davidson reached base on a walk setting up the home run by Collins that bounced off the outstretched glove of Western Carolina's left fielder and over the fence.
"Heather puts a lot of pressure on herself," Peck said. "She knows she is that role in the middle of the line-up where she has to produce some runs batted in. She obviously has the power. She pressed early, but she made a few adjustments late. That showed what a veteran she is."
Sirus followed with a double. Grisham homered to left center.
The Lady Bisons rapped out 10 hits with Dortwegt and Sirus each with two. Both hits by Sirus were doubles. Dortwegt and Davidson each had one double.
Savannah Filley took the loss for Western Carolina, giving up nine hits and five runs in 4 2/3 innings. McKenzie closed out the game allowing one hit in 1 1/3 innings.
Campbell picked up her first collegiate win. She gave up four hits and one run in five innings. She struck out five and did not walk a batter. Grisham closed the game for the Lady Bisons with two scoreless and hitless innings. She also struck out two.
"Christen is very good athlete," Peck said. "She understands the game. She understands how to pitch. She wasn't completely on today. Some of her pitches weren't as crisp as we have seen them and she knows that.
"Having Grisham come in was awesome. It was change of pace. We worked a lot with her this past fall on control and consistency. She came in with a lot of confidence and she was ready to go."
Western Carolina opened the season Saturday with a doubleheader loss at Tennessee State to start the season 0-4.
The Lady Bisons will play Tennessee Tech from the Ohio Valley Conference at Draper Diamond Tuesday in a doubleheader that begins at 1.

On 20 January FamilySearch added an indexed dataset, the Canada Census Mortality Schedules, 1871.
Although relatively small, only 45,371 people, it's a unique record set only available online at FamilySearch.
The 1871 census of Canada was nominally taken on 2 April, 1871. "Honest, intelligent, well-instructed and painstaking" enumerators visited each dwelling to record information; the process took a few weeks. They were instructed to enquire of every family whether any death has occurred in the family or house during the last twelve months, including deaths of newly-born infants, and if so enter information in Schedule 2, Return of Deaths.
Of the death reported 3,568 were for infants born in the census year (January - 2 April); 9,437 were born the previous year; 3,342 in 1869; 2.159 in 1868; and 1,168 in 1867.
At the other extreme are two deceased who passed away at the wonderful age of 120.
Jane McKay's entry is shown in the image. There is also an Ontario death registration showing the same age. Had I found a burial registration giving the same age would you accept it as meeting "the rule of three?"
The other is a man named only as Mosquito from the Tuscarora (Indian Reserve) e, South Brant 15, Ontario, with no corresponding Ontario death certificate.

Report Suggests NSA Engaged In Financial Manipulation, Changing Money In Bank Accounts
from the that-would-be-big dept
Governments should not use their offensive cyber capabilities to change the amounts held in financial accounts or otherwise manipulate the financial system.While there have been plenty of reports about the US running hundreds of offensive cyberattacks on others, outside of things like Stuxnet, not many have been directly identified. And I'm unaware of any claims suggesting attempts to "manipulate the financial system" of any particular country and/or to "change the amounts held in financial accounts." It seems a bit odd to come out of the blue like that, and certainly suggests that this particular bullet point likely came as a result of a rather specific thing that came up during the task force's review.
So, now we wait for the inevitable news of what sort of financial shenanigans the NSA was up to.

best (good) autoloader for hunting?
I get it that this kind of question is asked a lot, but I'm going to ask anyway.
I have an old 16ga single shot that was handed down to me but I'm thinking I'm wanting to get a newer 12ga. (Any reason why I should consider a 20ga instead?) I've decided that I want a semi-automatic but don't know which ones are good quality or a best buy for the money. That's where you come in. Any suggestions?
Primarily, I am thinking of turkey hunting (when not using my bow) and perhaps some chukkar or sport shooting. I'd like the option of using slugs as well, should the situation call for it.
I know that it would be best if I could try out several different ones but I don't know of anywhere that I could actually do that. Next best thing would be to look at them in a local shop, but with the rush on all things gun related right now, good luck on finding a shop that has them in stock.
So, what do you think? Let's hear some suggestions from the experts.
I've considered the Remington VersaMax but only because I see a commercial for them all the time. Is there a better option in that price range? ...or lower price range? ...or slightly higher?
12 for all around shooting, comfortable weight to carry all day.
It basicly boils down to what feels good to you and what fits you better then the rest. Fit is very important
There is a ton semi's to choose from... Browning, Beretta, Winchester, Benelli , which all make great quality guns and each has it own following.
A lot of manufactures are selling guns with shims to adjust the gun for best fit........I'm a big fan of the guns that do.
Try before you buy is a good way to go if possible
Here is some additional info for ya
Happy hunting
Take a look at the Winchester SX3 probably one of the best for the money. and fairly lightweight for a autoloader.

Liberalism is as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
If you haven't you could go to the skeet seminars that are stickies at the top of this forum. They loan out guns and you could ask if they have an autoloader you could try. I have a Beretta 3901 which I got because the Bereta 390 is a very good gun and this is just a much cheaper made version of it. I like the Rem 1100 also.
It would help for you to try out a few. I hunt dove and have always used 12 ga. but I usually use 20 gague for skeet. When you are shooting a lot of rounds the lower recoil helps. I don't think you give up much going down in gague.
Last year I bought a 28 ga. for hunting and used it on dove. Love it and I didn't really notice hitting birds was any harder.
I don't hunt turkey but I would like to in the future. I imagine with the right load you could do just fine with a 20ga, although most would prefer a 12 for everything.
Try the skeet shooting seminar, you'll learn something even if you don't get to try the gun you want, and you'll be able to talk to some very knowledgable shotgunners. Tripple Bs is a big place so they might be able to rent out a gun for you to try, I don't know.
Forgot about the the SA-08, wife has had one for a few years and its been quite reliable and quite well made for a gun from Turkey.

If you're not going to hunt ducks very often the only reason to NOT go with a 20 gauge is cost and availability of ammo. 20 gauge ammo is a bit harder to find and more expensive than 12 (though not as bad as the 16 you've been using).
A 3 inch 20 gauge will shoot the same payload as the 16 you've been shooting. If you're going to spend a day shooting ducks (or non-tox pheasants), spend 60 bucks on two 10 round boxes of Nice Shot (http://store.fastcommerce.com/nicesh...43f649b-p.html) and be done with it. If you find that most of your shooting requires you to shoot past 35 or so yards then the 12 might be your answer. Though, Hevi-Shot offers 1-1/4 oz of #2 Hevi-Duck loads for 20 gauge. I have no idea how they fit it in there, and no idea how they pattern. If you don't intend on shooting ducks (or perhaps) pheasants much, you might as well look at the 20s.
20 gauge semi-autos tend to be trimmer, lighter, and easier to carry and would be my choice if I was mostly an upland hunter, or did more than a couple of miles of walking for hunting ducks (and if I didn't have a 16 gauge).
As it is I'm tentatively in the market for a 28 gauge semi because I like my shotguns like America likes its supermodels, wafer thin, light, and incapable of kicking.
Oh yeah, and to answer your question, the Benelli Cordoba would be nice. Also the Montefeltro, though the Cordoba seems trimmer (but heavier). I haven't handled an Ultra Light yet.

Thanks for the feedback.
TheFeeder, I'll check that link later, when I get some time this weekend.
nick9130White, congrats!
I'm going to try to go to the BassPro in Rancho Cucamonga this weekend and see what they have in stock that I can handle.
I've heard a couple times that I might want to consider a 20ga instead of a 12ga, if I'm only considering turkey hunting but I don't think I want to limit myself...
Another pro for the 20 gauge is that the ammo weighs less and is smaller, so you can carry more of it into the field. Would you rather pack in 100 rounds of 12 or 20 for a dove hunt?
As for turkeys:
I picked this up for my girlfriend (http://www.federalpremium.com/produc...ll.aspx?id=229) but haven't patterned it yet. 1-5/16 oz of shot compared to what I used to use in my 12 (http://www.federalpremium.com/produc...ll.aspx?id=179) at 1-5/8, I don't think anything is going to live on the difference. I do know she is going to appreciate walking around with a 21 inch barreled, 6 pound, 20 gauge 870 instead of my 26 inch barreled, 3.5 inch chambered, 7+ lbs 12 gauge Nova.
I'm not trying to convince you to go 20 gauge, I just want you to keep an open mind and not get bogged down by the "you need a 12 gauge" crowd. If I didn't mostly hunt ducks (and already own a couple sweetheart 16 gauges) I would probably shoot a 20. That being said, the 12 will be cheaper to shoot if you don't reload.
Of course, I'm biased in that I like light guns and prefer them to not kick very much (or maybe I'm a girly man).

I have a remington 1100, and I love it. No issues to date, cycles slugs, bucks, and birdshot without one hiccup.
"Gun control is like trying
to reduce drunk driving
by making it tougher for
sober people to own cars"
I am not sure if it is a local phenomenon, but ammo is actually easier to find for the 20 gauge near me. While Turners and Walmart have been selling out of 12 gauge quickly, there are usually several bulk backs and AAs for the 20.
For hunting, I'd got with SX3. Synthetic stock so you don't have to worry about the wood and it's the lightest of my shotguns. It's also balanced very well which I find makes a difference when carrying it around.
I also have an 1100 and 391. Both are very good firearms, but feel much heavier.

British police have recovered a rare Stradivarius violin worth more than $2 million that was stolen from its owner in a London railway cafe in 2010.
Thieves took the antique instrument, which was made in 1696, and two valuable bows from Korean-born violinist Min-Jin Kym as she ate at London's Euston station.
It was recovered from a property in central England last week, police said, without giving further details. Three people were jailed in connection with the theft in 2011.
"It's been a very difficult journey, I still can't quite believe what has happened," said the 34-year-old violinist after the instrument was returned to her.
"The loss of the instrument, and the acute responsibility I felt, was at the back of my mind at every moment of the day. I'd played the instrument since I was a teenager, so it'd been a huge part of my identity for many years."
Police said the violin was discovered intact with very minor damage. It was found in its case along with a missing £62,000 Peccatte bow and a bow by the School of Bazin worth £5,000.
Kym added: "I've now gone from devastation to the other end of the scale -- an incredible feeling of elation that hasn't left me. I'm still feeling the butterflies in my stomach and am on cloud nine."
Thief John Maughan, then aged 30, was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to the theft of the violin in April 2011. Two London teenagers aged 15 and 16 were sent to youth detention centres.
The discovery of the missing Stradivarius comes after a false lead in March this year when police thought the violin had turned up in Bulgaria, only for it to be revealed as a fake around a century old.
This time antiques experts have verified the find.
Detective Simon Taylor, who led the hunt for the Stradivarius, said he was "delighted".
"I always maintained that its rarity and distinctiveness would make any attempt to sell it extremely difficult, if not futile, because established arts and antiques dealers would easily recognise it as stolen property," he said.
Violins made by Italian Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737), considered by many the world's most important luthier or crafter of stringed instruments, are extremely rare and valuable. There are probably no more than 600 still in existence.
The instruments have a habit of making the news. In 2007 a Stradivarius violin worth $3.4 million was stolen from the home of an Austrian musician but recovered a month later.
But a $3 million Stradivarius stolen from the New York apartment of violinist Erica Morini in 1995 remains on the US FBI's list of top ten unsolved art crimes.
There have also been several cases of musicians losing them.
In 1999 the cellist Yo-Yo Ma left his Strad cello in a New York taxi, although it was recovered undamaged, while in 2008 US violinist Philippe Quint gave a taxi driver $100 and performed a free concert for returning an instrument he had left in the back of a cab.
Last year violinist Alexander Dubach left his on a train in Switzerland and it was handed in at a lost property office.

I look forward to reading his book.

OK Jim, so what was his verdict: fair ruling or travesty of justice? The dissenters argued that no private property would be safe if a government could take it for what they claim is a public benefit.
I finished the book and it was excellent--it does a great job of clearly explaining every player's motivations in a way that they're all understandable, including fairly representing the views of the New London city attorney. Nobody was acting in a way that was completely irrational or selfish or with disregard for others. It's a very well-done book, and he did an enormous amount of research to fill in all of the details.
This was actually not as ideal a case against eminent domain as I thought--the original judge's decision found for some plaintiffs and against others; he found for the plaintiffs where New London had no plan for what to do with their land, and against those where there was a plan and there *was* public use--specifically a roadway. Kelo's house was actually partly *in* the roadway.
There was, however, clear sleaziness in how the New London Development Corporation acted in trying to steamroll the homeowners, and the city attorney refused a compromise at the end that could have yielded a better outcome.
In the end, Kelo got another waterfront house and her home has been moved and preserved as a monument against eminent domain abuse.
Thanx Jim; seems a balanced treatment that still regards it as an unfair use of eminent domain.

I am a mom to three boys. I have a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, and a son in private kindergarten who will start public kindergarten next year, as he missed the cut off by 4 days. This will be my fifth year with a child at our elementary school, and I have six more years ahead of me at this school, as my youngest moves up the ranks of elementary school. So that means that I will have helped out at my children's elementary school for 11 years, so My School, My Way is this - I will help out at my child's school and with the PTA, but I am pacing myself and picking efforts to work on that I feel I can contribute to without burning myself out.
So on that note, in the past I have been a room parent, and for two years I was the room parent coordinator (helping to find and organize room parents and communicating with them). This year, I was asked to be the Lunch Buddy coordinator, it is a program I have participated in for two years. Basically, I spend lunch at our school once a month for our Lunch Buddy program. I am given a list of kids from our guidance counselor and I help find an adult, for each child, who would like to have lunch with a school student once a month. It is usually about 30-40 children who participate in the program.
I also help in many smaller ways, such as bringing in goodies or food for PTA events, or teacher luncheons, helping at my kids' room parties, and working PTA/school nights, like Meet the Teacher or our Fall Festival. On occasion, I will come into school to read to a class or help for the library book drive.
But most of all, I help our school by meeting other parents and letting them know that our school is a better school because of all the parent involvement, whether through the PTA or attending school events. Just showing your face and being a part of the school community can make all the difference.
Here are a few tips to help you navigate through volunteering at your child or grandchild's school, my "volunteering mantra" so to speak.
- I have said NO to more things than I say yes to. I have a sound bite I use that is true and clear. I am pacing myself - I have 11 years to volunteer at our Elementary school.
- I am clear and communicate how I am able and willing to volunteer. For example, I have been asked to head up Fundraising, but I do not feel it is a good fit with my strengths and may be too big of a time commitment, so I say no I would rather do something else.
- If I commit to something I do it.
- I always go to teacher conferences and ask questions. I get to know each of my children's teachers so we can communicate the strengths and weaknesses of my child.
- I support the school and PTA events I can and believe in (Fall Festival, Math Night, Reading Night, Back to School Night, etc)
- I split up responsibilities with my husband (he goes to one classroom and I go to another so I can also fit in helping out)
I also give back to parents and schools across the country through the resources we make available on a network of family websites I co-founded. ZiggityZoom.com is a kids site geared towards kids and parents to "Spark their Imaginations". We encourage creative learning, imagination, and positive family interactions. We want to help parents start the school year right so here are several educational printables that will help you manage school schedules.
This is a printable that you can laminate and reuse.

Birth Time Question
Apr 13, 2010, 01:31 AM »
I am working with my husbands chart. I have two birth times for him. April 8, 1969 --One is at aproximately 11:30 AM and the other is at 12:43PM in Buffalo NY. Neither time came from an actual birth certificate. The 11:30 time was a recall from my mother in law. She had a story to go with it so it seemed quite in line, at first. But then, she found an invitation of some sort that was announcing my husbands birth and written on it for the time was 12:43PM.
If I posted some significant occurences in his life (like the birth of our children, our wedding, his car accident etc.) would anyone be able to help me find out which time is accurate and in doing so, it can really help me learn a bit more about what to look for and what is significant according to EA?
If this is asking too much, do let me know-- bc I have no idea if this is a lengthy, painstaking process or if it is something relativey easy (especially considering the times are relatively close to one another). I really have no experience with this type of thing at all.
My instinct tells me the 12:43PM time is more accurate,mainly because it would give my husband a Leo Ascendant and Cancer on the 12th and his physical appearance stands out in a crowd for sure(Leo) and he is emotionally (Cancer) withheld (12th), although his Moon in Capricorn may be part of that. My husband thought the 11:30 AM time sounded more like him when he briefly read over some typical "Cancer Rising" article somewhere(although he does not know the first thing about astrology so...
--It was kinda funny because he said
"See Dhyana, I am a very sensative person and my feelings get hurt easily"
LOL, it was pretty funny, but maybe you had to be there... LOL. And that statement he made shows you the extent of his astrological understanding --tee hee).
I have other reasons why I am leaning towards the Leo Ascendant, but I won't list those now, unless needed.
Anyways, I do realize that there are services out there that offer birth rectification, but I ask on this EA forum because I thought I can learn more of the EA paradigm through this question than learning nothing by just using a service. I would rather understand how the time is come to through the EA paradigm rather than just be given a time with no learning, you know?
Thanks for any help
I would really appreciate any tidbits of info on how to go about this..
ps.(adding this later, after lucius reply.."I forgot to mention that I did already consider the Pluto questions before --but the thing is this; either time still gives him a 2nd house Pluto in Virgo.)

Hi Dhyana - I know one thing that is done in EA is to ask the 'pluto questions' to determine which house Pluto is in and tweak the chart from there. You could search the forums and/or I'll track it down if I have time. I know they've been posted a few times for this reason.
Unfortunately I think a very large percentage of birth certificates are wrong which chafes my virgo sensibilities! I discovered after a couple of years that my chart was wrong (never understood that Aries rising with Jupiter!). Around that time I kept seeing the number 333 - whether it was always a clock that happened to be that time or in any situation (still to this day but not as much) - so, when I plugged that time into my birth day it gave me 29 degrees Sag.rising! Still not sure if that is my birth time, but figured it a message all the same.
I find myself using anywhere between 3.33 and 5. It's frustrating.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Here are the questions:
Pluto in HOUSE 1. Do you feel you have a special destiny to achieve, meaning something out of the ordinary? The related question, do you have an inner resistance to completing yourself in relationship? (Why? There has been a whole prior life background of essential independence.) There are other questions you could ask. You could ask the polarity point questions.
Pluto in HOUSE 2. Do you feel that you are fundamentally self contained. Do you feel that you are fundamentally able to identify and meet your own needs?
Pluto in HOUSE 3. Do you feel that you have a fundamental curiosity to understand the nature of life, that curiosity primarily manifesting at an intellectual level? As an example, do you feel you have a compulsion to read many, many books, and yet your tendency being to read three or four pages in each book and not the whole book? Do you feel that your mind is simply a roller coaster brain of competing perspectives, the roller coaster or roll x-carts generating competing perspectives. The polarity point question would be, do you feel that you are trying to find that
one philosophical system that puts it all together for you?
Pluto in HOUSE 4. Do you feel that you are born with fundamental insecurity at a compulsive level? Do you feel that you had parents that were unable to understand the nature of your emotional needs, and therefore the nature of nurturing accordingly? Do you feel that you have a problem identifying with traditional gender role assignment? Do you feel in your intimate relationships that at times you have problems with what we can call pathological jealousy that is quite different than normal jealousy. Pathological jealousy is demonstrated in O.J. Simpson, meaning a person that can never let go.
Pluto in HOUSE 5. Do you feel that you are the center of your own universe? Do you unconsciously expect all things to revolve around you? Do you feel you have a bottomless pit in terms of the need to receive positive feedback for whatever your efforts may be?
Pluto in HOUSE 6. Do you feel that you have a problem with a core feeling of fundamental inadequacy? An inner feeling that you are not good enough to do what your higher mind suggests is possible to do? This becomes the basis of compulsive excuse-making, which sounds like rational reasons. Do you feel you have a problem with priority confusions? Do you feel you have a compulsion to make crisis out of thin air? Do you feel the emphasis in your consciousness is left brain analytical thought processes? Do you feel that you are plagued by personal doubt? Do you feel that you are your own worst enemy?
Pluto in HOUSE 7. Do you have a compulsive need to be needed? Do you feel you have a lesson in terms of learning when to give and when not to give, and more importantly, how to receive? Do you feel you have problems in codependency in relationship? Do you feel you have problems in projection in relationship (either one or both partners compulsively projecting their subjective reality on one another)?
Pluto in HOUSE 8. Do you feel you are born with fundamental emotional fears of betrayal, emotional fears of loss, emotional fears of abandonment, impacting on your ability to trust? Do you feel that you crawled out of the womb asking why, i.e. do you feel that you psychoanalyze yourself to the point of tears, and psychoanalyze everyone else to the point of tears? Do you feel that you are an inherently suspicious person? Do you feel that you have an awareness of larger forces in the universe that you cannot control?
Pluto in HOUSE 9. Do you feel that you have been asking giant questions for lifetimes, why life, why death, how do I fit into the cosmos? Do you have an element in your consciousness that just knows what it knows without knowing how it knows it? Meaning, do you feel the strength of your Soul is intuitive? Are you born with a fundamental restlessness? For an individuated or spiritual person the question becomes, do you feel that you have a core alienation from society? Do you feel that you have a need to understand yourself in cosmological terms?
Pluto in HOUSE 10. Do you feel that you are born with a core sense of guilt that you can no longer define? Do you feel that you have a tremendous standard of inner judgment, which equals becoming your own worst enemy? Do you feel you have a fundamental fear of losing control? Do you have a need to be recognized by society? A related question in the individuated and spiritual state. Are you having problems in gender assignment (consensusly defined)? Was there a power problem with one or both parents?
Pluto in HOUSE 11. Were you born with a fundamental feeling of being inherently different than most other people? A related question, not knowing quite where to fit, in society's terms? Do you feel you are born with an inherent capacity to innovate? Do you feel you are born with major lessons in terms of who is a friend and who is not? Do you have a consciousness that is naturally constructed to promote social orders that are more equitable for all concerned, meaning natural humanitarian? That will exist even in the consensus state. Lyndon Johnson had an 11th house
Pluto, Bill Clinton has an 11th house Pluto.
Pluto in HOUSE 12. Fundamental question, is your deepest fear falling into the great, great inner abyss? Do you feel you are born with a core of ideals that are continually frustrated? Were you born with no clear sense of boundaries between where you start and something else starts around you? Do you have a fundamental fear of going crazy or insane? Do you have an inner feeling of being in a prison, in which there is no way out?

Thank you Luscius.
I forgot to mention that I did already consider the Pluto questions before --but the thing is either time still gives him a 2nd house Pluto in Virgo.

...O, Lucius-- I did very much appreciate your listing the Pluto questions out for me. I ended up reading them over anyhow and I got a lot out of doing so, in general.
Any more suggestions?
Thanks Again,

Noel Tyl has a system of rectification based on Solar Arc and Progressions that I have found works very well. Basically the system is based on the fact that Solar Arcs and Progressions will typically be heavy during the periods of significant events. He will also utilize the tertiary progressed moon to help "fine tune" the analysis.
All of this is located in his book on Solar Arc theory.

There are the angles and the house cusps...also looking to the transits of slower planets through houses, especially Pluto....if there are planets close to the angles looking to major life events could help. With mine it was early life....I had an operation & my father's job loss, bankruptcy, move, etc. - Uranus had progressed to the MC of one of the speculative charts....just for example

Well I won't post a chart, but, for example Uranus is in the 9th (with one of my 'possible' charts) very close to the midheaven/10th. When I was just under two I had an operation...Uranus was transiting that point i.e., the midheaven...a couple of years later when my father was part of the airforce strike in 1980 Uranus was, via solar arc, conjunct that point - the midheaven. I've also looked at transiting Pluto....especially as it natally is in the 9th whenever it'd move over the midheaven should be prominent, and then the 10, 11th and 12th....it is hovering around my ascendant now...figure pretty soon I'll know what degree is rising!
So, if your husband has planets in the 'theory' charts near the ascendant, midheaven, descendant or imum coeli I'd play around with those, moving the time around to see what planets may be making significant aspects. For instance, something with his own family or perhpas mother, you'd think maybe there would be a significant aspect to the IC/4th....planets near house cusps...pluto transits and then other planet transits, especially the slow moving ones.
I've had some difficulty with my chart since there are a couple of T-squares and it's 'locomotive' visualy across the chart so there's always something! It can be hard to look to house cusps and angles when there are so many other transits, progressions, etc. that can 'explain' it.
Hope this helps.

Wednesday, May 09, 2007
But first, some long and involved preamble.
I have long considered myself a pretty educated, critical consumer of health care. It helps that I have found myself suffering ill health and the medical profession could offer me no help and no answers. It does a lot to shake your faith in god-like medicine to discover that it is neither omniscient nor omnipotent. It helps that I was forced to take responsibility for my own health and do my own research, and that I found wellness in a more naturopathic, holistic approach.
Navigating the sea of conflicting health research and propaganda we all swim in (not to mention overburdened doctors, and a failing health care system) I have come to trust my instincts. I make my decisions based on what makes sense to me, what seems logical, and what seems to carry the least risk. I read the latest sensationalized medical studies with a critical eye and question their correlations and conclusions (if I get around to reading them, that is).
When I was pregnant, I continued to take responsibility for my own health decisions (which of course contained the health of my anonymous bump), with the help of midwives. I tried a prenatal vitamin but it gave me such gut-rot all I wanted to eat was buttered toast, which I didn't think was conducive to meeting a pregnant body's increased nutritional needs. I kept up my B-50 complex (which includes folic acid), because I saw on the prenatal vitamin that it was mostly B-vitamins and iron. I didn't take additional iron supplements but tried to eat iron-rich foods like dried apricots and spinach, both raw and cooked, and others. In my reading, I discovered that the absorption rate of supplemental iron is questionable. I also read somewhere that your body can also adjust how much iron it absorbs from food and when it is exposed to a diet high in iron it actually absorbs a smaller percentage of iron than it does with a diet low in iron; during pregnancy, your absorption of iron also increases. So I trusted my cravings and my belief that in general a varied and healthful diet should be able to meet a person's nutritional needs.
Around week 32, the midwives tested my blood and discovered that my iron level was borderline. I decided to take an iron supplement that was reportedly gentler on my stomach (I think it was called Palaver or something, and it didn't cause me any distress) and continue eating iron rich foods. What interested me was that they drew the blood before Christmas, but I didn't get the results until we were into January. While I was visiting my parents over Christmas, I suddenly really wanted some of the sausage my dad was barbecuing, the first time I'd ever wanted red meat in years. So I went with the craving and ate half a sausage, slightly afraid that any more than that would make me feel sick. I was quite pleased to discover after the fact that my haemoglobin had been low when I experienced that craving. Anyways, by the time they took my blood for the c-section, my haemoglobin was back up to a healthy level.
I'm getting all tangential though when the point I really want to make is that I have a pretty high level of confidence in my ability to take responsibility for my own health, and that this confidence continued in large part while I was pregnant.
But that all changed when Swee'pea was born. Maybe it started with the medicalized labour and necessarily surgical birth, or maybe with our positive hospital experience, much to my surprise. Or maybe it started before that when I chose to get the rhogam shot around 28 weeks, even though it creeped me out to get someone else's blood bits put inside me, for the sake of not even the baby I was carrying then but for some maybe baby out there in the future.
But really, I think it started when I finally got to hold my pink little baby and inspect him from his old soul eyes to his long skinny toes and contemplate his perfection. Or, not so much his perfection, as his rightness. I know we all say it so much that it's become a cliché but even now, 15 months on, I still occasionally marvel at his magic. At the risk of being vomitously cheesy, I am still in awe that we have been graced with his miraculous presence, not miraculous because of odds that were overcome or because he survived a distressing labour but out of a new understanding of the miracle of life. Oh yeah, and how ill-equipped I felt for caring for him. I remember the nurse bringing him in after he'd been in the nursery for five hours and she said, "He's hungry and he's all yours." I remember thinking that there was something really wrong in that, handing off a hungry baby to a total greenhorn and just leaving us. Alone with him. I mean, exactly what were we supposed to do with him?
Anyways… faced with the enormous task of keeping alive this most precious being ever to come upon this earth was, and sometimes still is, a little overwhelming. I felt completely unprepared.
Take the question of vaccination. I started to do research on the subject when I was pregnant, which was even then a nightmare. The governments say that reports of autism associated with the MMR vaccine are a myth and have been disproven. They say that vaccines are safe and have very few serious complications, that the few complications that may arise vastly outweigh the consequences of the disease. But I could never find actual numbers to back that up. I couldn't anywhere see risks of the vaccine put next to risks of the disease.
On the flip side, the anti-vaccination faction seems to use a lot of emotional language that minimizes the risks of the diseases themselves and first-hand reports from parents whose children were affected or killed by very serious complications of vaccines. I still couldn't find any numbers, which I think may have made me feel more comfortable. How many kids die or have brain damage from vaccines vs. those catastrophic effects from the disease?
And besides, it's all fine and dandy to crunch numbers (or try to) and weigh risks and benefits when you're dealing with a creature you've only seen in black and white outlines; it's quite another to try to take that approach when you are talking about the most amazing, most precious, most beautiful thing you have ever laid eyes on. Even if the risks are 1 in 100 billion, the possibility that YOUR precious could be The One is impossible to contemplate.
In the end, we just decided that we had to put our trust in our paediatrician, and hope for the best. She is very much in favour of vaccines. At times, her arguments feel like they veer towards fear mongering, but since I can't find the information I would need to make a truly informed decision, we go with her risk assessment.
I have found myself taking Swee'pea to the doctor at the drop of a hat, seeking reassurance that he isn't dying, that I'm not going to miss an important clue that he needs immediate care, that he is ok. This craving for a doctor's reassurance has lessened somewhat since he's gotten bigger and better able to communicate. But I still find myself trusting doctors in a way I don't think I would for myself. Of course, I can feel my own symptoms and judge their severity. With Swee'pea, he's not an effective enough communicator to describe the intricacies of his symptoms and severity, so I have to guess from his behaviour and whatever information I can gather in the form of temperatures, wet diapers, and the like. I suspect that awareness that I can never really know for sure what Swee'pea is going through is where I trip up.
So… Friday night Swee'pea's fever rose higher than he's ever had (he hasn't had many fevers, never for more than a few hours and never very high so it's not really saying that much), so we took him to the walk-in clinic. I'd thought about taking him to our normal doctor's but he'd seemed fine in the morning, and she takes Friday afternoons off, so I figured we'd just wait and see. By 8, I didn't want to wait anymore and risk a trip to the ER at 2 am.
The clinic doctor checked out his ears and said his left ear was infected. I asked how he could tell so quickly and he said he saw red and that's why they pay him the big bucks. He prescribed us an antibiotic, looked up the dosage in a big fat drug compendium and we duly filled it at the late night pharmacy.
Alarm bells did ring when the doctor said, as he ran his finger over the small print of the compendium, "I THINK [your pediatrician] is ok with me prescribing this drug."
With hindsight, I should have asked why. I should have advocated that if there is something contentious about this drug, perhaps we should play it safe and choose a different one. I almost did, but then I chickened out, figuring he knew best.
By Sunday night, Swee'pea's fever had broken, which led me to believe that the antibiotics were working, but he'd also developed a blotchy face and pinkening spots along his back, so I suspected perhaps a reaction to the antibiotics. On the advice of the pharmacist, we didn't give Swee'pea any medicine that night and the next morning I took him to his doctor.
She shook her head as soon as I mentioned that the other doctor had prescribed azithromycin. She checked his ears and pronounced them perfect, and that if he had had an ear infection, they couldn't look this good; it was way too soon. Apparently, children's ears go red when they have a fever.
Not only was Swee'pea misdiagnosed, but the antibiotic he prescribed was like using a bulldozer to pick up a few grains of sand. Our paediatrician says it's the worst culprit for antibiotic resistance.
Why would a doctor prescribe an antibiotic that is known to be such a contributor to resistance? That doesn't seem like prudent use at all. Our doctor didn't know but she hypothesized that perhaps it was because it only takes a 3-day dose and hangs around in the system for a long time afterwards, so there's more likelihood of completing the course.
So now instead of just being pissed off about Swee'pea getting misdiagnosed and unnecessary antibiotics, I am indignant too.
I'm educated. I know the risk of antibiotic resistance and would always finish a course of antibiotics. I never use antibiotic soaps because they contribute to antibiotic resistance and aren't any more effective than proper use of regular old soaps anyways. After the SARS outbreak, the property manager at my workplace switched all the bathrooms' dispensers to antibacterial soaps. I lobbied, unsuccessfully, to just stick to regular soap, especially since SARS was caused by a VIRUS -- not BACTERIA -- and therefore could not be killed by antibacterial soap. It still bothers me that I couldn't make the slightest dent in that cause.
I have learned from this experience. Doctors are not gods. I cannot put all my trust in them for the survival of Swee'pea. I must trust those little alarm bells. There's nothing wrong with questioning.
Ok, that's all... anyone still here?

I'm indignant right along with you...and I can relate, too. I've gotten to be a bit more persistent and pushy with doctors--just because we've had to deal with so many. But I have done my share of being too "passive" even when alarm bells were going off. It's tough--I had to really re-evaluate my perception of doctors ever since Tessa was born. On the one hand I am somewhat in awe of them, but on the other, I have learned that *we* can actually learn what they know to a certain extent as it relates to ourselves and/or to our kids. They don't have a monopoly on the knowledge and they are not inside some sacred circle which we cannot breach.
I'm not saying that I think I have as much knowledge as a doctor who has been to medical school, but I have learned that I am the one, ultimately, who knows my kids (and myself) the best and this fact, combined with research on my own, can be a powerful tool.

I've had too many experiences such as you've described, and you really put your finger on the core of the issue. It's one thing to play wait-and-see and second guess doctors when it's my health, but my son is a different story altogether. And I hate it when I know I should be pushing more. Like the first time our son was on antibiotics and broke out in hives all over his body about 5 days into the 10-day course--and the doctor said it couldn't be an allergic reaction. Or the number of times we were told something couldn't be allergies (eczema, seasonal respiratory problems).
OK, I'll stop there.
- Beck said...
I am resistant to a majority of antbiotics. I am also prone to extremely severe bacterial infections. I, um, try not to think about it.
- Suz said...
This story makes me pretty mad, because of the way that Henry was treated when I took him to the ER for a high, high fever. They gave him every test imaginable in order to rule out the bad stuff and when nothing came up positive, sent us home with nothing more than motrin and instructions to visit our pediatrician the next morning. It was the absolute RIGHT thing to do. Henry's fever broke soon after and the pediatrician assured us that he was okay. He also assured us that we did the right thing bringing him to the ER.
- NotSoSage said...
Aargh. Just tried to post a comment and it disappeared. I'll try to recreate it.
I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that jerk at the walk-in (just hearing that he told you "that's why they pay [him] the big bucks" rubbed me the wrong way). It's so much easier, though, to take your chances and take time to research your options with your own health. But when it's your child, how can you do that?
The story I'm not telling in all of this posting about my family is that when my brother acquired his head injury, my mother took him to the hospital every day for a week, telling them there was something wrong. It wasn't until he lost his ability to walk that they finally checked him out and found that the injury had caused two blood clots to form in his brain. The medical establishment needs to get off their high horse and start listening to patients and their advocates. Argh.
- jen said...
i'm here. and feel you big time. we went through something like this w/ M and i was very upset - feeling like my concerns are being minimized and then cajoled (witn guilt) into taking drugs.
ugh. i hope he's better, friend.
- Christine said...
I am so sick of doctors treating people like cattle. Literally. They herd us through waiting rooms and exam rooms, then talk to us like we are as dumb as cows. Sorry about such a rotten doc on Friday. Sounds like your pediatrician is a good egg, though.
- kgirl said...
It's so frustrating. But you're right, trust yourself.
The only time I didn't, Bee's very simple excema, brought on by an allergy to milk, was misdiagnosed at the walk-in clinic as 'dermatitus' - which means absolutely nothing, medically - and when left, became a full-fledged bacterial infection which had to be treated with antibiotic cream. It was (is) the only time that Bee has ever had antibiotics near her, and I still feel horrible that we let it go that far.
I'm totally done with walk-in clinics.
- Virtualsprite said...
I totally agree. Doctors are not gods and they should stop thinking they are. I've had so much trouble with doctors (other than my own, very favorite GP) that I have only started going to the walk-in if it is absolutely, life-or-death necessary.
It's terrible that we should be afraid to seek medical treatment.
- Karen said...
My second child, who was sick frequently, brought me into my own with doctors, nurses, ER and specialists. After what we went through I felt I had graduated with some kind of mommy medical degree and could go head to head with any of 'em at any old point in time. I earned that feeling; happily most of our caregivers afforded me the respect from day one, but some of them handed it over more begrudgingly than others.
- Matthew M. F. Miller said...
You always have to do what you think is best, and the more you second guess that, the more crazy you'll drive yourself.
I was put on antibiotics at the first sign of a cough as a child, and now at 28 I'm sick a lot. You have a right to be concerned, and the mere fact that you are will go a long way toward Swee'pea being healthy.
- Bon said...
still here, and completely with you.
i too operate partially on informed instinct when it comes to my own medical care, even while pregnant, even though i'm high risk. i certainly want doctors' help in measuring and testing and all those things their expertise is so important in, but i listen - all the more so after losing Finn in part because i didn't insist that they listen too - to my body and what seems "wrong."
but with O, it's harder, because like you said...he can't tell me what seems wrong to him. so i'm left watching him. and hoping that the people i have to put my trust in to get him help when i think something's wrong are worthy of that trust.
scary stuff, this.
i hope Swee'pea feels better soon...and that the overprescription of these bulldozer antibiotics stops soon.

- mamatulip said...
I feel for you. This is why I try not to take my kids to the clinic. I'm grateful for them and will go when push comes to shove but in my experiences, I get a doctor who overmedicates too often.
Hope the babe is feeling better.
- Jennifer said...
I think it takes a supreme amount of self-confidence (and education) to become a doctor, which is great, but when they cross the border into arrogance, it's awful. It's like they spent so much time in school that they don't want to be questioned by someone less educated. But, isn't that part of the job, too? The interpersonal skills? Being able to explain their opinion clearly, without talking down to their patients.
- Mad Hatter said...
I just thanl my lucky stars that my child has been more or less healthy. I believe in avoiding the health care system where at all possible.
- Denguy said...
I'm with you on the SARS thing, I have some USA friends who think SARS was the Black Death up here.
Antibacterial soap isn't welcome in my house.

and oh, it really IS! because i got exactly zero overnight pages yesterday night and it was as glorious as i imagined. now i get 2 weeks (plus an extra 2 days because i started call early to cover someone else) of signing the pager over to someone else* at 5 pm every night!
i am looking forward to this for many reasons; the first is that i will get my evenings back (5p - 8p is an extremely popular time to page, it seems) and second is that i can resume running OUTSIDE. i've been cautiously sticking to the treadmill for the past week on my early runs, so that if i get beeped i can simply hop off and tend to whatever needs to be dealt with.
* someone else: other fellow, attendings, nurse practitioner. we all share the overnight pager burden, although this year my share is the heaviest (STILL not bad at all, though!)
routine, routine, routine
i've read multiple pieces about the importance of improving routines -- like this one from the happiness project. it makes sense -- by definition, a routine is something that happens over and over again. yet it's easy to fall into bad patterns, leading to the same annoyances on a regular basis.
i know this because i have spent many a morning cursing the traffic lights on the way to work, mad at myself for being later than i wanted to be, my hair wet and mood darkening by the minute. my weekly goal this week was to work on improving my AM routine (this was also one of my 2010 resolutions!), but i've actually been working on it since the transition to fellowship happened.
so far, things are going much better than they used to! i've imposed a few guidelines (yes, i like to 'impose things' on myself -- what?) -- and they do seem to have helped!
they include:
☀ 5 am wakeup call. yes, it's pretty early. but hey -- it's often an hour or so later than josh gets up! so we're on the same, totally lame (but workable) old-person schedule. this seems to give me the right amount of time to get everything of importance done.
☀ pack lunch FIRST. i pack lunch while i'm eating breakfast (though another option would be to do so the night before). there is nothing worse than scrambling around the kitchen in a panic when you want to be out the door already!
☀ set time limits. for me, this is the hardest part. i could spend an hour writing my AM post! but i don't have an hour. i set a deadline -- i need to finish writing by 6:00 AM (so that i can then head to the gym/run). admittedly, this is the hardest for me to stick to, but is probably the most important.
☀ once you leave, just breathe. if i DO still run late (and it happens!), there is nothing gained by seething and freaking out all the way to work. my commute is about 25-30 minutes door to door in the morning, and those minutes can be spent in a calm and pleasant manner, or they can be frantic, setting the scene for a crappy day. why not do the former??
fashion friday?
i was browsing for some anthro picks to post this morning, but came up somewhat short.
there is something that i enjoy about the haphazard lines tank, but for $78 i would certainly hold out for a sale.
it looks to me like they are leaving the crisp 1950s-aesthetic and fresh summery color palate behind for a more organic, rugged style. there is a lot of a lot of beige, gray, and accents of red/maroon -- colors from nature, perhaps, but instead of coming from a tahitian beach, it's out of a rather gloomy enchanted forest.
not as much my scene as a breezy shirtdress, but i suppose an evolution had to happen at some point! and i'm sure i'll find more to be excited about as the fall collections roll out in a month or so . . .
workout: 30 minutes elliptical (levels 9-12) + upper body weights routine from the SSU.
pasta redux: how's this for a quick dinner? spinach-ricotta pesto pasta turned into . . . spinach-ricotta-pesto-pasta SALAD!
with local yellow squash and grape tomatoes. ahhh, summer.

CLEVELAND – November 29, 2012 – Overseeing eight public colleges and universities and enrolling more than 100,000 students per year, the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) turned to OnBase Online to streamline processes across the state without the burden of maintaining additional infrastructure. OnBase Online, Hyland Software's cloud-deployed enterprise content management (ECM) solution, provides the NSHE with a reliable and scalable solution capable of integrating with their existing systems. Truckee Meadows Community College, the only community college in the NSHE, was the first school to implement OnBase Online.
Truckee Meadows Community College converted to OnBase Online from Singularity, their legacy ECM system. Peter Miller, program director at Truckee Meadows Community College, knew that implementing OnBase was crucial to continuing to streamline processes and improve student service. "Singularity was being used like a filing cabinet," said Miller. "Using OnBase, we are able to process documents faster, build powerful workflows and seamlessly integrate with PeopleSoft, our student information system."
As a cloud-deployed ECM solution, OnBase Online provides instant and continuous access to the latest ECM technology. In addition, OnBase Online greatly reduces the up-front costs and administrative responsibilities required to maintain the solution by utilizing one of the most powerful server and networking infrastructures on the market. "One of the major benefits of OnBase Online is that we do not have to worry about managing servers, redundancy or availability," said Miller. "Hyland takes care of everything, so we don't have to burden our IT staff with replacing, upgrading or maintaining hardware and software."
Facing a tight fiscal deadline, Truckee Meadows Community College was able to implement their solution in only six weeks. "Hyland did an amazing job implementing our OnBase Online solution and converting from Singularity in only six weeks," said Miller. "We met all of our deadlines and user satisfaction skyrocketed. Additional schools in the NSHE are planning on moving to OnBase Online in the near future."
