Police say New London man confessed to Christmas Day killing
New London — Police have charged a 29-year-old city man with murder in the death of his roommate, whose body was discovered Christmas morning.
Sebastian Tzampop, of 15 Hope St., Apt. 2, was held in lieu of a $1 million court-set bond after police say he confessed to the crime.
New London police arrested Tzampop Friday for allegedly killing Antonio Chajon, a 39-year-old local restaurant worker whose body was discovered shortly before 11 a.m. on Christmas on the floor of his bedroom with signs of trauma.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Chajon was positively identified on Friday following an autopsy at the state Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Farmington. The autopsy revealed the cause of death was the result of a "compression of the neck with blunt injuries of head and trunk," according to New London Police Deputy Chief Peter Reichard. The death was ruled a homicide.
Reichard said it appeared that Chajon was violently assaulted and sustained severe trauma injuries to his head, throat and torso. He declined to provide any more details on what Tzampop said happened.
New London police worked with state police in collecting evidence and interviewing residents of the multifamily home.
Detectives were able to obtain a full confession from Tzampop about his involvement in Chajon's death, Reichard said.
Tzampop is due for arraignment Monday in New London Superior Court.
Chajon and Tzampop are both originally from the same village in Guatemala, according to police.
Chajon had worked at Jasmine Thai Restaurant in New London since he moved to the United States from Guatemala five years ago, co-workers said.
Co-workers said Chajon was a hard worker, smiled a lot and enjoyed partying with his friends.
Tzampop has an arrest history that includes a Sept. 1 arrest on charges of drunken driving and various motor vehicle infractions, court records show.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Detective Division of the New London Police Department at (860) 447-1481. All calls will be kept confidential.

I feel like I've heard conflicting opinions about oversupply/too much foremilk possibly causing slow weight gain. Some say that no, oversupply wouldn't be the cause of slowdown in weight gain because foremilk still has plenty of fat to allow good growth. But I met with an IBCLC recently who said yes, too much foremilk could cause slow weight gain.
I'm feel confused about where I am, supply-wise, and what could be the reason for my daughter's slowdown in weight gain. I know I had oversupply earlier and block nursed to help with that. Now I'm back to her taking one breast per feeding in the mornings (switching from nursing to nursing - no longer blocking) and then sometimes offering both breasts as needed in the late afternoons. However, she often can't even finish one breast in the mornings. Does that mean I still have "oversupply"? If she's having yellow diapers and doesn't seem pained or uncomfortable (beyond pulling off at let down, etc) should we just carry on as we are and not go back to blocking?
Her weight gain had been consistently averaging 1oz per day. However, the past two weeks it has slowed way down (2.5 ounces per week). She's 10 weeks old today. Good wet diapers and usually multiple poopy diapers per day, mostly yellow with occasional greenish ones.
I'm confused why this would be? I obviously have enough milk and she was able to transfer efficiently at the IBCLC's office (48 gram gain from nursing one side). Is she just not taking in enough (thoigh her diapers are good?) since lots of her nursings are just one side? She nurses a bunch - over 12 times per 24 hours. Some are very fast feedings where I know she doesnt take much. However, I'm offering a lot of those without feeding cues, so I really don't think it would help to offer more often. I think I'm maxing her out as it is.
She was 6lbs, 13oz at birth and was 11lbs, 3oz today.
Thanks for any thoughts!

In her work, Susanne Kriemann combines socio-historical research and reflection on the medium of photography. During her stay as an Artist in Residence at the 21er Haus, she developed the exhibition RAY, which is not merely about rays of light. It is also about rare earths and their radiation. And it looks at how rare earth elements were turned into light and, shortly afterwards, became obsolete, just to light up rooms again almost 100 years later.
Susanne Kriemann is currently Artist in Residence at the 21er Haus. She was born in Erlangen in 1972 and lives in Berlin and Rotterdam. Her works were recently included in exhibitions at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2013), at Arnolfini, Bristol (2013), at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2012), at Kunstverein Braunschweig (2012), at the Kunsthalle Winterthur (2011), at CAG Vancouver (2010), at KIOSK Ghent (2010), at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart (2009) and at the Berlin Biennale (2008).

Number Required: 3
From Whom: Letters of recommendation should be obtained from anyone familiar with the applicant's academic competence. In general, the most common source of these letters is college/university faculty members.
All applicants must present credentials that are the equivalent of the appropriate baccalaureate degree at Temple University.
Applicants should indicate their goals and objectives for obtaining a Ph.D. degree. This statement is evaluated against the program's mission. A typical goal statement contains the following items: the applicant's reason for seeking a Ph.D. degree, with a specific focus on the career to which s/he aspires; her/his research interests; and academic and job-related experiences, relevant to the program. A typical goal statement is 2 to 3 pages in length.

The Admissions Chair schedules the interview at a time convenient for the candidate and the Admissions Committee.
A resume is required.
The advisor makes any decision concerning advanced standing during the student's first semester in the program. The advisor evaluates the credits the student has taken according to the relevancy to the Educational Psychology program. Courses that are counted as advanced standing must be earned as part of a completed degree program. The maximum number of advanced standing credits awarded is 30.
Number of Didactic Credits Required Beyond the Master's: 48

Internship: An internship in the form of a Research Apprenticeship is required.
Language Examination: No language examination is required.
Major Area Examination:
The purpose of the major area exam is for the student to demonstrate mastery of a specific curricular area within the general field of Educational Psychology. In general, this field will encompass the area in which the student intends to complete her/his dissertation. The exam is taken when most coursework has been completed. Typically, this is prior to writing the proposal for the dissertation. It is expected that a minimum of one year will pass between the major area exam and the dissertation oral defense.
The major area exam consists of a written portion followed, after a period of one to two weeks, by an oral defense. A three-member committee monitors the exam. While any three faculty members may constitute the committee to write and evaluate the major area exam, these three faculty members are typically the same as the Doctoral Advisory Committee. The Chair of the committee is usually the student's academic advisor. This committee approves the content of the exam, writes the questions, and evaluates the student's performance. The three members of the committee vote on the outcome of the exam at the end of the oral defense.
Within the content area chosen, the content of the exam is divided into three sections: theory, methodology, and application. Students are given two questions in each of these three areas. The student, for the written portion of the exam, chooses one of these questions from each of the three areas. The oral defense focuses on the written part of the exam, but may include the alternative questions not chosen for the written section.
Students must demonstrate a thorough grasp of the area they have chosen and must be able to articulate the core issues in the area. It is expected that the student's level of understanding of the issues in the area be on a par with a faculty member who is an active researcher in the field.
Each major area exam is scheduled on an individual basis. Students work out a time period in conjunction with the three-member committee that evaluates the exam. Students should not expect to schedule the exam during the summer or during other times when most faculty members are away from campus.
The dissertation proposal demonstrates the student's knowledge of and ability to conduct the proposed research. Minimally, the proposal should include the context and background surrounding a particular research problem; a survey and review of literature which, though it may not be exhaustive, is at least sufficient to provide the reader with enough information to understand why the research is being conducted; a detailed methodological plan for investigating the problem; and a proposed timeline to complete the dissertation. The Doctoral Advisory Committee must initially approve the student's proposal.
The doctoral dissertation is an original piece of scholarship that makes a significant contribution to the field of Educational Psychology. A majority of the dissertations in the program are empirical, typically using statistical analysis as the means of completing the data collection process. Other types of scholarship, e.g., utilizing more qualitative approaches or employing theoretical or philosophical analyses of educational issues, are also acceptable. It is expected that a successful dissertation should be publishable in a refereed journal.
The Doctoral Advisory Committee consists of a minimum of three Graduate Faculty members. Two of the members, including the Chair, must be from the Educational Psychology program. The third must be from one of the other programs in the College or University. Doctoral Advisory Committees differing from this rule must be approved by the Director of Graduate Programs of the College of Education and by the Dean of the Graduate School. The Doctoral Advisory Committee oversees all aspects of the student's dissertation, from the proposal to the oral defense. Complete details about the entire dissertation process are available in the College of Education Dissertation Handbook, available from the Department of Psychological Studies in Education.
The Dissertation Examining Committee consists of the three members of the Doctoral Advisory Committee plus two additional faculty members. One of these additional faculty members must be from a program outside of Educational Psychology. The Dissertation Examining Committee evaluates the student's dissertation and oral defense.
A student may change an advisor or member of a committee by petitioning, in writing, for the change. This petition must be approved by the Chair of the Department of Psychological Studies in Education and by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Graduate Studies.
The Dissertation Examining Committee evaluates the dissertation and the student's ability to defend it. The Committee votes to pass or fail the dissertation at the conclusion of the oral defense. The outcome of the defense is determined by a majority vote.

The Role Of French Defamation And Privacy Laws In Keeping DSK's 'Secrets'
from the did-this-really-help? dept
However, Adam Gropnik does a nice job pointing out how French defamation and privacy laws are to blame for keeping news reporters from really discussing DSK's questionable activities in the past. In fact, a few years back, DSK made it clear that he would sue anyone who spread "rumors" about his personal life. In conjunction with stories of super injunctions in the UK and Max Mosley's now failed attempt to expand privacy laws in Europe to protect famous people from having their private lives displayed in the newspapers, it begins to raise some serious questions.
Lots of people sympathize with the basic argument that your private life is private, and it seems unfair to have private affairs spread across the news. And yet, if someone really is doing something egregious -- or potentially harmful -- is seeking to gag the press and others from making that information public only giving them cover to progress further and commit potentially heinous acts?

now i know...why he didnt mention Nazca.
They pay real actual money for them and everything. Wonder why that is, and why nobody wants to pay money to hear what 'Professor Denim' has to say?People still read printed magazines? awesome.
It's a mystery, to be sure.
Cheers matey. I'll take that as a compliment.
Hi everyone, occasional Neo-Geo.com poster and Retro Gamer editor Darran Jones here.
It would appear that the idea of the definitive has been missed somewhat, which is a shame as it's been running since issue 24.
Anyway, the point of the definitive is to cover every different game in the series. It's not a historical piece (that's what our complete history guides are for) it's designed to explain all the different games in a series (even if they share the same name, or are the same game) and how they differ from each other.
It's also an opinion piece. Stuart Campbell is one of the UK's best known videogame journalists and his work is always of a very high standard. He's also (as every games magazine reader in the UK knows) is very opinionated and he likes to put his opinions across to everyone. This is the reason why he is the only person in the magazine (myself included) who is allowed to use the first person when writing features.
Now for the record I love Metal Slug 3. I think it's the best game in the series for numerous reasons I could go into, but won't, and laughed my head off when I read Stuart's opinion because he couldn't have been more wrong about the game (in my opinion).
He states throughout the article what he feels makes for a good Metal Slug game and he states again why he feels that Metal Slug 3 is the worst game. Taking this on board (whether you agree with it or not) by the time you get to Metal Slug and he's mentioning all the stuff in it which he's already described in previous game, you know he's going to love it. Is he right? Of course not (in my opinion of course).
Maybe it's a UK thing (and I don't mean to be patronising here) but Stuart's sarky style and the whole basis of what the definitive is, appears to have been lost in this particular instance. I once toyed with putting the standard (RG doesn't agree with everything STU says) at the end of each article, but assumed that readers would know that this is one individual talking and is not the collective thoughts of the magazine. Maybe we need to address this.
Now if this was a complete history of MS then some of your points could well be justified, but it isn't. Stuart is meticulous in his research and I trust him 110% with whatever he writes. He's been writing these articles now for a very long time, and no one has ever been able to recall a game he's missed or pointed out something that's factually incorrect about what he's missing.
If I didn't think his article was up to scratch then I wouldn't include it in the magazine. It's that simple.
You're getting Stuart's opinions and thoughts about the series confused with him actually stating them as facts, which he isn't.
If you can't point out things that are factually incorrect then great, you've got a solid argument, but at this moment in time in does very much come across like "this article is rubbish because it doesn't agree with what are generally accepted opinions" which is totally different. On the other hand, you're obviously entitled to your opinion and it's good to know that there are gamers out there who still have a hell of a lot of passion for their favourite games.
Peace Out. I'm off to play Metal Gear Ocelot.
I can only apologise for any bad language he has used.
You know, people are allowed to dislike a popular game, and what's more, to write about it.
How many of you hate Final Fantasy 7? Or the Tekken series? Or Street Fighter, for that matter?
It's their magazine. If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's that simple. Welcome to capitalism.
Indifference has led to boredom.
He does seem to fly off the handle easy though. Instead of calmly explaining his defense of his article, he flies off into a full tyrade from post 1. Then continues talking down to anyone who comes in his path. Regardless of his video games knowledge, the guy has an ego driven temper.
Come to think of it, he reminds me of myself.
You'd think this worldwide economic downturn would cause people to work harder for their bucks...
the article is a mess
purported professionals turning out this crap
someone was probably shitting something out at the last second for a deadline
another sign of poor research
poor journalism
Boo-hoo, now man up
this section epitomizes how unpolished the article is
While its tempting to throw out the words "amateur" or "hack", I'd settle with "someone who was too busy to do a good job, and instead did a rush job and assumed no one would notice"
something so unpolished, so rushed, so incompletely researched

I'm happy that you've entitled yourself to state your opinion on our board. While the OP stated his opinion in what he didn't like about your "editorial" you came here to pretty much blast (not explain) your reasons for posting that piece. Instead of coming over here and explaining "like a professional" you decided to come here and tell customers of the magazine that your ego is much more important than anything else. Thank you for clearing that up.My sang-froid has to take a momentary back seat here, as I have to suggest that you go fuck yourself, you pompous, arrogant, stupid little prick.
Darren Jones shouldn't have had to come here to apollogize for you.
I'd love to know where you get the bizarre, absurd idea that professionals aren't allowed to be rude. I can only presume you've never watched, to pluck just one example, the judges on American Idol/Pop Idol/The X-Factor/Strictly Come Dancing or almost any other "talent" show.
I'll say it again, because you seem to be a bit slow on the uptake:
Reasoned, well-argued negative criticism will get a polite and considered response. Pure abuse full of offensive language (do I take it you're fine with the OP's lines about "shitting out crap"?) and idiotically-wrong drivel will get told to fuck off, because that's all it deserves.
Oh, and by the way:
Don't tell me what I mean, you rude, ignorant, illiterate, arrogant, fucking cunt.You mean editorial.
Does the word "snarky" mean the same thing as "complete douche bag" in England now?
A 41-yo man raging on a forum which probably holds only a fraction of Retro gamers readership to begin with hahaha.

You placed yourself in the category of judges with the power to sway a person's career/lifestyle future. You on the other hand wrote an editorial and a reader responded to it on this board. We're not the ones in the hot seat nor are we bound to read your your articles. I'm assuming that you took this job to make some money and to say what's on your mind. But do you realize what kind of effect you have on people that pay to read something you printed? Be rude all you want. But it seems that we know your stance on this matter.I'd love to know where you get the bizarre, absurd idea that professionals aren't allowed to be rude.

The Oklahoma PayCard provides a new convenience for state employees who do not have a bank account for direct deposit of their pay. Now, instead of being forced to find a place to turn your paycheck into cash, you will have the electronic convenience of the Oklahoma PayCard.
Oklahoma law (74 O.S. 292.12) requires that all new state employees use direct deposit to receive their pay. All current state employees are required to use direct deposit by June 30, 2007. Employees who are unable to have an account at a financial institution to receive their pay can use the Oklahoma PayCard.
Every payday, your Oklahoma PayCard will receive your payroll deposit...just like direct deposit. You can start using your money right away!
Among the many advantages to using the Oklahoma PayCard are:
- It's a dependable way to receive your pay - no more waiting for checks to be handed out;
- It saves time because you won't have to stand in line to cash or deposit your check;
- It gives you more privacy because checks are seen by many people;
- It saves check-cashing fees;
- It allows you access to your pay wherever you are. You won't have to be at work to get your check, and;
- It gives you new ways to manage your money.

ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Chicago Wolves pulled within 3 points of first place in the Midwest Division with a 5-2 victory over division-leading Charlotte on Sunday afternoon before 6,096 at the Allstate Arena.
Wolves right wing Mark Mancari produced the game's first two goals to increase his team-high total to 14. Forward Tim Miller added his ninth and 10th goals while goaltender Eddie Lack posted 32 saves as the Wolves (19-12-1-3) earned their 10th win in the last 13 games.
"It was a very good weekend for our team," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "We are starting to dig ourselves out of the hole we got into at the beginning of the season."
Mancari opened the scoring 3:12 into the game. Forward Nathan Longpre led an odd-man rush and tried to thread the puck to Steve Reinprecht driving toward the net. Charlotte goaltender Mike Murphy came out to break up Reinprecht's one-handed tap just outside the crease, but that left him in no position to stop Mancari's follow-up.
Mancari scored again at the 16:49 mark of the first as he found some operating room by the net and tipped home Longpre's wrister from the right circle. Longpre and Reinprecht picked up their second assists of the period.
The Wolves pushed their advantage to 3-0 at 1:17 of the second period. Byron Bitz's wrister from the top of the right circle deflected off Murphy's pads directly to Miller and Victor Oreskovich. Miller tapped home the puck as Oreskovich and Bitz earned assists.
Charlotte (21-13-2-1) cut its deficit to 3-1 in the final minute of the second period on center Zac Dalpe's breakaway with the Wolves on the power play. The Checkers pulled within 3-2 at 4:29 of the third when Nicolas Blanchard's wrister in the high slot rang off the post past Lack (9-8-3).
The Wolves earned a crucial insurance goal at 12:01 of the third as Mancari, fresh from a stint in the penalty box, zipped past two Checkers to set up an odd-man rush. Rather than fire away in search of his second hat trick this season, Mancari fed Miller for a backhander that beat Murphy.
Darren Haydar added an empty-net goal at 18:08 of the third. Murphy (13-9-0) posted 22 saves.
The Wolves return to action at 11 a.m. Wednesday against Rockford at Allstate Arena. The Illinois Lottery Cup game serves as the first of two School-Day home games for the Wolves this season.

Palestinian terrorists operating out of the Gaza Strip fired another missile into southern Israel on Thursday evening, leading to another night of Israeli Air Force reprisals on Hamas missile sites and observation posts. Also Thursday, Israeli security forces reported the successful capture of 14 Palestinians behind the recent bus bombing near Tel Aviv.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon reiterated that any and every attack from Gaza will elicit a strong response from Israel. "We will respond to those who fire on us, and to those who support them," said Netanyahu.
Israeli army officials added that "terror groups operating out of Gaza have set out to inflict harm on Israeli citizens. The army will continue to battle all threats to the State of Israel, and views Hamas as bearing direct responsibility for all attacks from Gaza."
Back to the Tel Aviv bus bombing, police learned during their investigation and manhunt that the attack was planned and executed by Palestinians from Bethlehem. One of those arrested in connection to the bombing was in training to become a Palestinian Authority police officer, which, according to Netanyahu, is "further proof that the Palestinian leadership has direct links to terrorism."
The terror cell was believed to be planning additional attacks in the Tel Aviv area.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.
Welcome to my Online Gallery My paintings of landscapes, flowers, and abstracts reflect my many interests.

In pursuit of my passion, I studied Art at Washington University and Maryland Institute College of Art obtaining my BFA degree in Fine Art. Then I spent many years doing Stock Photography. traveling the world taking photographs. Then in 1999 I decided to go full time as a painter using photography only as a source for his...

I am not complaining, I love my little farm, and all of its critters…yet, there are mornings I would rather not venture out quite so early. Like this morning all damp, and cold. Once I step out of the kitchen door, everything seems as it should and I relax in to the morning's flow of activity ~ happily ~ if not admittedly a skosh weary.
Mind you this is not a glamorous undertaking.
This is how I usually go about my chores:
By the time I get out the sun is usually cresting just above the east hills; the roosters are crowing, the ducks are squawking; and the llamas are chewing their cud quietly greeting the new day. They all know the routine; the girls (llamas) line up at the fence line. The Chickens and ducks come running full steam ahead to greet me raucously at the fence gate; ducks scurrying past the Roosters so as not get pecked.
We use large round bales, and have a covered shed for the girls to munch at their leisure, just outside of their barn. This morning it was empty, wiped clean…guess that is where I will start this mornings chores… The farm truck is at work with Howie, so I'll cut the twine surrounding the huge bales, then pull down the hay that peels off in fragrant sheets, layer by layer; fill the wheelbarrow and head up the hill to the girls shed – repeated as necessary. Gym membership, who needs a gym membership? My blood pressure is 112/60, my pulse is 62! Who ever would like to save their membership fees…come on over.
Morning goes something like this…
smooch big dogs
feed big dogs
start tea water (and/or have a cuppa coffee)
fill water buckets
fill dog and cat waters
lay out 14 feed bowls
measure out sweet mix for all llamas
measure out beet pulp for all llamas
fill bucket with layer pellets
make tea..(if I haven't had coffee)
let dogs out
carry 12 of the bowls to the girls pasture
carry 4 bowls to stud pasture
fill poultry grain feeder
gather eggs as I defend my legs against Mr. Nasty (bantam rooster with king sized attitude) – no eggs today 😦
carry water bucket to replenish girls water
carry water bucket to replenish studs water
carry water bucket to replenish poultry water
bring hay to the girls
pick up all bowls
pick water buckets
dogs and I head in…In that moment – animals fed and watered,on this damp cold morning, the smell of hay and the sound of llamas chewing contentedly,dogs frolicking in the yard… I am at peace. Maybe mornings aren't so dreadful after all.
Note to self…remember to enjoy tea!

The Folly of Building Sand Castles After Sandy
Like most boys growing up near the shore, I spent a good part of my childhood – and adulthood, come to think of it – constructing elaborate sand castles at the beach.
My friends and I most enjoyed building doomed fortresses just below the high-water line at low tide, and then, when the seas returned, digging moats and buttressing the walls in a frantic but inevitably futile attempt to prevent our palace from washing away.
"We need more sand! Bigger rocks! A deeper trench!" we'd shout, but of course, the waves rose higher and higher until one finally breached the walls, and all was lost.
The next day, we'd be back at it with our plastic shovels and clam shells.
I thought about all this impractical industriousness the other day while viewing some of the damage wreaked by Hurricane Sandy: smashed houses, ripped-up piers and sand-covered roads strewn with debris.
In most media interviews during the immediate aftermath of Sandy and other such storms, homeowners and politicians make an identical pledge: "We will rebuild! It will be better than ever!"
Until, of course, the next tempest.
I'm not suggesting a full-scale retreat from the shoreline or that nobody should ever be allowed to rebuild near the water – but I hope property owners, authorities and insurance companies think longer and harder about the future before repeating the same formula for disaster.
The city of New London made a wise decision after the Hurricane of 1938, which wiped out an entire neighborhood at its southern tip. Officials bought the private waterfront properties and created Ocean Beach Park, today one of the city's most treasured and popular attractions.
Similarly, the state of Connecticut eventually took title to a former beachfront community in Groton that was also destroyed by the great storm nearly three-quarters of a century ago. That property is now Bluff Point Coastal Reserve, the largest undeveloped coastal peninsula between New York and Cape Cod and one of the most magnificent shoreline parks in all of New England.
You can still see remnants of the old foundations from washed-away cottages.
Without getting into the whole political debate over who is to blame for climate change, the evidence seems incontrovertible that the earth is getting warmer and ice caps are melting, causing the sea level to rise and storms to intensify, thereby further threatening coastal development.
Requiring waterfront property owner to purchase expensive federal flood insurance has to some extent limited reconstruction in hurricane zones, but evidently some well-heeled residents are willing to gamble with no policies and risk losing everything to a big storm.
Making such irresponsible homeowners pay for their losses may be all well and good, but allowing those in especially vulnerable areas to rebuild doesn't eliminate the government's need to maintain access, provide services, and all too often, carry out expensive and dangerous rescue missions.
I wouldn't want to be the official in charge of telling someone whose family has owned a waterfront cottage for three generations that he or she cannot rebuild on the site, or deciding who and how much should be paid for properties deemed uninhabitable.
But if nothing else, Sandy should remind us that sooner, not later, we will have to be making these decisions, or else we become just like kids building sand castles at low tide.

Faculty Handbook
Instructional Departments – Department Bylaws
Each department has its own bylaws, which are on file in the department offices.
I. Department Chairperson
Each academic department is located within an appropriate school and has a Chairperson who is the official spokesperson for the department members. The Chairperson shall, under most circumstances, assume office on the first day of the academic year.
Selection Procedures
A. Preamble
The department has the primary responsibility for selecting the individual who will serve as Chairperson because of the role the Chairperson has in the Department. The position interfaces with both the academic and administrative spheres of the University so that the Administration also has a right to be involved in the selection process.
The Department has the role of selecting the nominee and no individual may be appointed as Department Chairperson unless that person has been approved by the Department. The Departments must therefore exercise care and responsibility in their selection.
The Administration has the right to appointment and no individual may serve as Department Chairperson unless appointed by the Administration. However, because of the responsibility exercised by the Department in making its selection, it is expected that the individual nominated will be appointed except for compelling reasons.
Careful consideration by those who are involved should be given to the nomination and appointment of the Department Chairperson.
The individual who is Chairperson should have ability and interest in working effectively with and having concern for the faculty of the Department and students who utilize the Department; in curriculum development and review; in the Department functioning smoothly as an entity in itself and as a part of the University; in representing the Department to the profession at large.
The eligibility requirements, such as academic credentials, years of experience, etc., and the term of office will be contained in the Department bylaws.
- The Department, using the procedures and rules of eligibility as in its bylaws, elects one nominee.
- The Department submits to the School Dean, in writing, the name of the nominee and specifies the term of office.
- If the Dean and Department agree on the nominee, the Dean, as the designee of the President, appoints.
- If the Dean disagrees with the Department's recommendation, the name is returned to the Department with an explanation, in writing, of the reasons for the disagreement. A mutually agreeable date is set at which time the Dean and Department meet to discuss and resolve the differences.
a. If the Dean and the Department resolve in favor of the nominee, the Dean, as designee of the President, appoints.
b. If the Dean and Department resolve in favor of a new election, the process goes back to Step 1.
c. In case of impasse, the process continues to Step 5.
- In the event that an impasse arises and further discussion appears counterproductive, the following steps shall be taken:
a. The name of the nominee shall be forwarded by the Department to the President of the University.
b. The President shall call a joint meeting of the School Dean and the Department or Department's representatives. At this meeting, the rationale of the Dean and of the Department will be given to the President.
c. The President's recommendation will be given to the Department.
(1) If the recommendation is in favor of the Department, the President appoints the nominee as Chairperson.
(2) If the recommendation is not in favor of the Department, the procedure reverts to Step 1.
- Department that wishes to select a Chairperson from off-campus
a. If a Department wishes to select a Chairperson from off-campus and the School Dean concurs and if there is a faculty position available in that Department, then a Department Search Committee shall be established. The Dean shall be an ex officio member of that Committee.
b. All established employment procedures for instructional faculty will be followed.
- Chairperson for a Department formed from existing Departments
a. Follow the procedure as in A. 1-5.
- Chairperson for newly created Departments
a. The Dean appoints a Search Committee of three faculty members from the School. The Dean serves as an ex officio member of the Committee.
b. All established employment procedures for instructional faculty will be followed.
- Interim appointments caused by a leave of absence, resignation, or recall by the Department must be specified in Department bylaws.
a. Follow procedure as in A. 1-5. except that the term will end on the same date as the term of the individual being replaced.
- Associate Chairpersons
The election of an Associate Chairperson, term of office, and recall procedures will be contained in the bylaws of those Departments who want an Associate chairperson. Total reassigned time for Chairpersons shall not exceed that provided by the CSU-AAUP contract.
- Calendar for Selection of Department Chairperson
Time Interval
Section to be initiated
By 1 March of the year that the term of office of the Department Chairperson expires or within 10 School days of a vacancy occurring.
Within 2 school days after A.1

A.5. (A.5.a.and A.5.b.)
If needed, within 14 school days after A.5. (A.5.a. and A.5.b.)
B. Responsibilities of Chairperson

IV. Faculty And Department Responsibility For Student Advisement
A. Definition of Academic Advising
Academic advising is a "decision-making process during which students realize their maximum educational potential through communication and information exchanges with an advisor." (Thomas J. Grites) "It is the primary means of helping students benefit from an array of programs. It is always a process composed of timely responses in areas relevant to student education." (IDEA Paper No.3) Advising provides the student with assistance for optimum progression through the University experience with opportunities for continued personal and professional growth and fulfillment." (Wichita Report)
B. Responsibility for Academic Advising
The responsibility for appropriate and effective academic advisement rests with the faculty and the students. The faculty member is responsible for communicating accurate and up-to-date academic information. The student is responsible for implementing decisions derived from the advising process in order to fulfill the requirements necessary for graduation. Both the faculty member and the student must make a commitment to the advising process to enable it to be efficient and effective. Without a shared responsibility, academic advising will fail to achieve the goal of optimum progression through the University experience.
Senate Approval: May 15, 1985
C. Responsibilities of Faculty Advisors
Faculty members will each have a group of students assigned by their department for whose academic advisement they are responsible. The responsibilities of an advisor are:

Students on probation must meet with their advisors to review their program requirements, course selections, credit loads, and other pertinent information.
B. The probationary period will commence the semester following the one for which the letter of probation was initially issued. The Dean will review the student's activities during the period of probation.

Appeals to these policies should be made to the appropriate Dean who, for extenuating circumstances only, may waive the policy.
Admin. Approval: April 18, 1986*

Off Topic: University Chicken's 911 Challenge
Article Digest:
On Friday, Alex James, from my group at work, took on a challenge that no one thought he could handle. Near Santa Clara University, a small restaurant that specializes in hot & spicy chicken wings hosts a food eating contest that only involves twelve wings (wingettes and drumettes counted as two separate wings). The 911 Challenge at
University Chicken
doesn't sound so bad, but Alex definitely met his match... and prevailed.
The wings sold at University Chicken range in hotness on a scale from Mild and Traditional to Global Thermonuclear. Beyond this scale are the special wings prepared specifically for the 911 Challenge. The rules are quite specific:

Nothing to drink before or during the contest.

No napkins at anytime during challenge including the 5 minute period after eating them.

Must lick clean any sauce on hands before 5 minute timer starts

Must eat the chicken off and to the bone (Manager must approve)

Participant has 10 minutes to eat 12 Wings. Once finished must wait an additional 5 minutes to win a T-shirt

Must sign release form

Alex ordered his 911 Challenge and waited peacefully while the wings were being prepared.
When the wings arrived, they were a dark brown - almost black - color. The coating on the wings was more paste than sauce. They definitely looked completely unappetizing to me. With the clock starting when Alex sat down, he wolfed down the first wing quickly and without effort.
At first, Alex didn't show any visible reactions to the spiciness of the wings, and I thought it would be an easy contest. However, after his second wing, he began to hiccough. His body was informing him that he was eating very spicy food (as if his burning fingers, numb lips, and fiery mouth weren't enough warning alarms).
After four wings, Alex slowed down. He mumbled something about the wings not being very appetizing (I think he said they were "disgusting"). A layer of sweat was coating his forehead and his body had stopped hiccoughing.
At a rate of about one a minute, Alex steadily made his way through the first ten wings. The last two proved difficult, but at the nine-minute mark, in a demonstration of willpower overcoming the self-preservation instincts of his body, Alex quickly removed the meat from the bones, chewed, and swallowed.
With less than one minute remaining, Alex quickly sucked the clumps of spicy paste off his fingers and forced himself to swallow the subsequent ball of black gunk.
The five minutes of waiting were excruciating as Alex willed his body to keep the food down.
As soon as five minutes were up, a cheer erupted from our party and the sounds of clapping from the patrons of the restaurant followed Alex to the bathroom where he disappeared for quite some time.
Alex received a free T-shirt and posted his picture up on the Wall of Fame.
Later in the day, back at work, a couple of Alex's fingers were still numb from holding the hot wings and his stomach would not stop bothering him. Physically, he was exhausted and drained. He also mentioned that the challenge cost him $11 and the cost of the wings was not reimbursed by University Chicken as we had earlier believed (we had forgotten to ask).
For my lunch meal, I ordered a charbroiled chicken burger. The chicken was tough and overcooked with the edges tasting bitter from being burnt. I put down as much of the sandwich as I could (because I've got to eat) and left half for the trashcan. Since University Chicken is known for their chicken wings, I tried a drummette and a wingette from my coworkers nearly untouched stash of Traditional style wings. The wings were fairly spicy, but lacked depth of flavor. The wings themselves were deep fried way too long. The meat was dry and oily and some parts felt like I was shredding chicken jerky. All in all, I don't think University Chicken is famous for their wings because they're good, but because of their gimmicks - a clever naming system and a challenge that chile hounds can't resist.
After lunch, I spoke to a few other people who have eaten at University Chicken before and it seems that we may have received a poorly prepared batch of chicken. Another coworker, also by the name of Alex, confirms that usually the wings are juicy and not dry (as I experienced them), but they do have a history of inconsistency in the hotness of their sauces (thermonuclear one day may be milder than traditional on other days, etc.).

A few additional notes should be made about this article.
I puposefully did not provide a fully detailed account of exactly what happened to Alex's body as we watched him consume those wings. For that reason, it may seem to be a fairly mild experience. Trust in the knowledge that he did not look pleasant and it was clear that he was not only in physical pain and discomfort but had lost control of some of his body including motor control. His face had puffed up and his lips were disformed and discolored from the sauce/paste. I refrained from photographing during the more intense moments of his experience.
If Alex wishes, he may post his thoughts as comments to this article, but that's up to him.
Also, I've heard that University Chicken used to be part of the
Cluck U
franchise, but apparently this is no longer the case. Cluck U has many location on the East Coast and our experience at University Chicken may not reflect that of Cluck U.

Post subject: Eaten there...had better wings
I live in Sunnyvale and visited ChickenU on a coworker's suggestion. I'm from the South and know what Wings are supposed to taste like. And Chicken-U's are not Wings. They are cooked peices of chicken with some spicy sauce on top....but they are not Wings (yes, with a capital W). We asked for mild and a received plain, slimy, greasy plate of chicken...if I wanted that, I would have eaten at KFC. ;-)

Post subject: 911 Challenge
I also did the 911 challenge and Im sure my photo is on the wall there.. though I haven't been back to check..
That was by far the hottest thing I have ever had!
That night, my firehead burned from the capsaicin(sp?) coming through my skin as well as it burned when I peed
(No, I don't have an STD!)
I honestly don't think I would ever do that challenge again, though, I still love very hot food.
There is a pub in San Mateo that has a Habanero Hamburger that kicks butt, and, if you like hot food that tastes good, check it out. Its the only English Style pub in the area.

Post subject: strategy
So what would be a good strategy to prepare for the 911 challenge? Maybe you can eat some bread before you go to the restaurant so that it can absorb the spicines? Does milk help? You can coat your stomach with milk beforehand. For sure, the worst strategy is to eat them on an empty stomach.

putting on chap stick is a good idea. since you can't do anything after you finish them for a set amount of time, i'd not eat anything for a while and then throw them down quickly close to the deadline.

If you want to talk about Wings, you need to know the history:
There's more to a good Wing than just heat.

Post subject: Chicken Wings
Whenever I hear about chicken wings I always think of some of my father's stories. He grew up fair impoverished, and jokes that he didn't realize that chicken's had anything other then wings and necks until he was 12.
Apparently back in those days, poor people (like my father's family) would buy chicken wings as a cheap source of meat that no one else wanted. My father gushes about how well my grandmother could batter and cook them up such that it was a delicious meal.
My hat is off to the marketing genius who transformed this unwanted part of the chicken to one of the most lucrative parts by creating the "pub wing crazy"!

Been happening for some centuries already - creative and poor cooks turn formerly discarded bits of food into "proud classics" - scottish Haggis, brazilian Fejoada, and a bunch of other plates are made of parts of the animal that the rich used to discard.
Cool how creativity and need creates some of the best dishes... it must have taken some guts to eat snails, shellfish, pig's feet, etc.

Post subject: Wings
I'm a BW3's (Buffalo Wild Wings) fan myself
They even have a few locations in Buffalo, so if the locals (um, myself among others) like it, it has to be good huh? I think the chain originated in Florida by two homesick college guys.
Personally though, a good wing needs to have flavor as well as heat. I often joke that if I'm not crying and my face isn't red, it isn't hot enough, which is for the most part true. But honestly, if the sauce is just heat and no flavor, the wings are just awful. I can't even imagine eating something as unpalatable as overfried and overheated wings!

Post subject: Went to SCU, seen the vomitting
I graduated from Santa Clara in 98 and during our education the Cluck U opened. I have seen more people vomit exiting that place than I care to remember.
My buddy used to always say that he would bulk up on the chap stick and coat the inside of his mouth with petroleum jelly to help the burn factor. I still think once it hits your stomach that you're in trouble.
Good times... that place used to sell pitchers of beer way cheap. The breast bites meal is actually a good deal and tasty but I stay right around atomic level spiciness.
Go broncos!

Post subject: Re: University chicken
I have tried many o' chicken wings...from hooters...to the old days of BW3s (when it first formed and was a lot better than now)...wingstop as well as Cluck-U (or now University Chicken).
For those of you who have not enjoyed their chicken wings, I strongly urge you to go back there and try the Devil Bites. These are essentially boneless breast tenders dipped in the wing sauces, but I assure you that you have never had these kinds of shapes or cuts of chicken. They are surprisingly very meaty and big and the batter remains rather crispy even after being dipped in the sauces. They are by far the best thing I've had there...easily surpassing the wings (as much as I love wings).
On Thursday's they have a "bite night" special. I think it costs $1 per devil bite. Definitely recommend you give them another try and NO, I don't work there. I've been going there for years.
As for spiciness, I was going there before they introduced the 911 challenge and I was proud to say I had survived all the levels of spice. Then once they introduced 911, I was pissed because its a level I haven't done and I don't think I want to go there. Global thermonuclear instantly ceased my conversations with friends after eating...I can't imagine what 911 would do.

Posts Tagged 'Fixed Refinance Rate'
Another advantage of home refinancing is that you can shorten the term of your mortgage. Let's say, for example, that you originally had a 30-year mortgage and have been paying it for eight years. Thanks to mortgage refinancing, you can switch to a shorter term of either 10, 15 or 20 years. This can save you thousands of dollars of interest. Also, if the refinance rate is lower, but you maintain the same monthly payment, you will build up equity in your home more quickly, because more of your payment will be going towards principal.
Exchange an Adjustable Rate for a Fixed Refinance Rate
When interest rates are low, adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) are the housing market's darlings. However, as interest rates increase, that adjustable rate may not look as sweet. It's also possible that you opted for an ARM because your financial future was less secure, or you weren't sure how long you'd stay in your home. If, however, you've become financially stable and know that you'll be staying in your home for several years, it may be beneficial to swap that . You'll have more security knowing that your monthly payment will remain steady, regardless of the current market environment.
Access to Extra Cash – Cash-out refinancing
One way to put more money in your pocket is to tap into the equity you've built in your home and do a "cash-out" refinancing. In this scenario, you can refinance for an amount higher than your current principal balance and take the extra funds as cash. This can provide money for remodeling your home, paying off high-interest rate bills, or sending your kids to college.
