Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the Chair's Report.
President Delaney will introduce Ann McCullen as interim vice president of Institutional Advancement and interim executive director of the UNF Foundation and, Sharon Ashton as the newly appointed vice president of Public Relations.
Chair Taylor will offer opportunity for open comments concerning items on this agenda.
Chair Taylor will address the Board and present the consent agenda for approval.
Proposed Action – Approval – MOTION and Second Required
The purpose of this item is to present a list of tenure nominees for university faculty. Twenty-one candidates are being recommended by promotion to associate professor and one candidate is being recommended by promotion to full professor. In addition, 17 faculty members were promoted to full professor, associate university librarian or university librarian.
The President, Provost and the University Promotion and Tenure Committee have reviewed these nominees and are making a recommendation for approval of tenure to the Board of Trustees.
Under tenure by reason of appointment, distinguished faculty may be granted tenure upon being employed at UNF. The candidate must receive a positive vote from the tenured faculty in his or her disciplinary department.
UNF agrees to award tenure as a condition of appointment in order to be competitive in hiring these individuals. The Provost and the President also conduct a thorough review of all candidates for tenure or appointment. Under these guidelines, the administration recommends approval of tenure, by reason of appointment, for Dr. David Forde, chair, Criminology and Criminal Justice, College of Arts and Sciences.
This report addresses the annual requirements of the Florida Educational Equity Act (FEEA), Gender Equity in Athletics, and the Equity Accountability Program (EAP) statutes. Each state university is required to maintain an annual equity plan for appropriate representation of women and minorities in senior level administrative positions, within tenure track and non-tenure track faculty and within faculty granted tenure. In addition, universities are required to monitor student participation in programs or courses where certain protected classes are underrepresented and to ensure that provisions of non-discrimination laws are adhered to and educational resources are equitably distributed.
This report must be approved by the university President and the Board of Trustees and submitted to the Board of Governors through the Office of the Chancellor.
There are no action items coming from the Finance and Audit Committee for March 19, 2013.
According to the Florida Senate – 2012, the Capital Improvement Trust Fund (CITF) fee is not to exceed 10 percent of the tuition for resident students or 10 percent of the sum of tuition and out-of-state fees for nonresident students. The CITF is to be used for certain projects or real property acquisitions. Also, it is required that the Division of Bond Finance of the State Board of Administration analyze any proposed fee reductions to the CITF; and that the Board of Governors approve any proposed fee reductions.
Each university is to establish a separate CITF fee and building fee at the main campus of the university. Also, each university is to establish a fee committee to recommend any increase in the fees and that committee is to be composed of students and members appointed by the university president. The university president is to approve committee recommendations, noting that an increase in fees may occur only once each fiscal year. The Board of Governors is to adopt regulations and timetables to implement the fees.
The University of North Florida is proposing an increase in the CITF of $2.00 per credit hour, which would create a total of $8.76 for resident students and non-resident students. The additional dollars will be used on recreational projects.
Vice President Gottlieb and Mr. Leonard Carson, special labor counsel to the university, will address the Board and present the proposed interim agreement between the University of North Florida and the United Faculty of Florida.
This item provides a listing of reports from the Academic Affairs Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
Megan Kuehner, UNF's registrar, will provide trustees with a demonstration of College Scheduler.
This item provides a listing of reports from the Finance and Audit Committee. Individual reports will be discussed as deemed appropriate by the committee chair or an individual Board member.
The State of Florida Auditor General conducts a yearly audit of UNF's financial statements and reports findings to the Legislature.

The purpose of this item is to provide an update to the Finance and Audit Committee on the preliminary and tentative findings and recommendations from the State of Florida's Auditor General for UNF's federal awards audit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
This quarterly update is provided to keep trustees informed about progress on the OIA's yearly audit plan, including personnel, resources, outstanding issues and follow-up, fraud allegations and investigations, quality assurance and improvement and mandatory disclosures.

Herbicide resistance in weeds has been around for over 25 years, but we continually hear more about it, particularly from the continuous use of glyphosate products, such as Roundup. While crop rotation is usually a recommended cropping practice, it will not necessarily help reduce the problem of herbicide resistance. Now with the increased use of Roundup Ready soybeans and corn, there is increasing concern for resistance to build up in weeds to (Roundup) glyphosate.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln confirmed glyphosate resistant marestail from fields in eastern Nebraska. This weed is common all across our region, particularly in no-till fields. Farmers have burned down weeds in fields with Roundup year after year, increasing the potential for resistance to develop.
There is also been confirmed glyphosate-resistant giant ragweed in Nemaha and Richardson Counties in southeast Nebraska. This weed has been difficult to control after multiple applications of glyphosate at a site in southeast Nebraska.
There has also been glyphosate-resistant waterhemp confirmed by the University of Missouri-Columbia, in northwest Missouri, which isn't very far from here either.
A weed that is present in Nebraska that has developed glyphosate-resistance in Southern states is Palmer Amaranth. It is present in Missouri from Kansas City to the Iowa border. While I have not seen it in southeastern Nebraska, there is definitely a good chance that it is here with it being confirmed just across the river in Missouri. Palmer Amaranth is very competitive and can grow up to 2-3" per day under good growing conditions. With this aggressive weed so close to our region, there is definite concern if it develops resistance. Where glyphosate-resistant Palmer Amaranth has developed in the South, it is requiring 3-4 additional herbicide applications which really increase production costs in corn and soybeans.
Farmers in southeast Nebraska also are concerned about glyphosate-resistant waterhemp. A major concern is stacked resistance, especially in water hemp. This is when weeds, such as waterhemp are resistant to a number of herbicides, i.e. triazines, ALS, glyphosate, even 2,4-D.
There is a workshop scheduled for March 19, from 9 a.m. to noon at the 4-H Building on the Nemaha County Grounds in Auburn.
At this workshop you can learn what you can do now to stop the increase of herbicide-resistant weeds in southeast Nebraska. This "hands-on" workshop will demonstrate how to use the Herbicide Site of Action Numbering System in the 2013 Guide for Weed Management Guide for Nebraska and cover these topics:
• herbicide tolerant crops,
• how weed resistance develops,
• overview of weed resistance in the Midwest and Nebraska, and
• examples and practical solutions for major weed resistance cases in Nebraska.
On-line preregistration is required. To preregister go to: http://cropwatch.unl.edu/web/cropwatch/archive?articleID=5098902 and you will find instructions for registration for the workshop. Cost is $30 and includes a variety of printed materials to use for later reference. Doors will open at each site at 8:30 a.m. local time and the meeting will be held from 9 a.m. to noon. Register early as attendance will be limited to 30 people per site in order to facilitate the hands-on format of these workshops. If you do not have computer access and are interested in this workshop, please contact us at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension office in Auburn at (402) 274-4755 and we will assist you in the preregistration process.

I see that the last post on this topic was two months ago, so I hope this isn't necroposting. But as the newest new person around, I just thought I'd say that sometimes the topics that you think are old hat are all new and strange to someone else.... like the whole bley thing. It took me forever to figure out what people were talking about. I think it's conceivable that some novice might find a discussion about that, forget what the date stamp is, and post some reaction to it. It's not meant to be irritating to others.
A lot of internet forums will get mad at you if you do start a new topic on something that has previously been posted -- they'd prefer you to resurrect the old post. I guess the culture of different forums is just something to be figured out with experience.
And I know you think it's idiotic, but if I hypothetically had a creation that was years old, and someone posted on it just to tell me it was cool, it'd still make my day. And other newer people might get to be exposed to that creation and like it too. Just possibly.

Hawaii Five-Oh, My Eyes.
The teams were different this year; instead of AFC versus NFC, the players were tossed into one large pool and drafted, playground-style, to play on teams captained by (and named for) Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders. Those two teams, shed of the traditional AFC Red and NFC Blue color schemes, were outfitted in neon superhero costumes from Nike.
It didn't help that the Packers had but one lone representative, running back Eddie Lacy.
He was certainly deserving of the general honor, shame that it had to be wrapped up in this clown suit.
To be honest, I can't remember which neon color was assigned to which team. Team Rice won the "game", although I don't have any idea if that was Lacy's team or not.

Though I've flirted with it in the past, it is truly now time to officially shutter HMAb. Thanks in no little part to all of you, the blog has served me well- it has brought me opportunity, if not wealth, and loads of inspiration, knowledge and even friends around the globe.
Living in Canada, I've reached as high as I can as an Art Buyer, I've had some tremendous Art Buying challenges but my love for that sort of work is mostly gone. Instead, I'm going back to school to get my MA at McMaster University in their Communication and New Media Program and I am teaching in Sheridan's Bachelor of Applied Arts program: this fall I have the pleasure of introducing first year students to "Conceptual Processes" and in the winter I will teach a course that doesn't exist anywhere else and which I'm developing right now: The History of Advertising Photography. Fun!
Education is something that has always interested me- my entire immediate family are teachers and most of my extended family is too- including those who've married in. So I'm excited about this next chapter. Questions about the need to foist more photography students onto the world definitely plays on my mind but I am confident that Sheridan provides a unique and rich University experience- from the importance of concepting, through history, technique, work placements and business courses, I'm thrilled to be part of a committed and vibrant faculty.
So, carry on brave shooters and I hope you've enjoyed the information here as much as I've enjoyed bringing it to you.
All the best,

Partygoers reach for bagged shirts.
The pheromone get-togethers, which have been held in New York and Los Angeles and are planned for other cities, require guests to submit a slept-in T-shirt that will be sniffed by other participants. Then you can pick your partner based on scents.
The parties started out as an experimental matchmaking fest by a woman weary of online dating, but it turns out they also have a root in science. Researchers have shown that humans can use scent to sort out genetic combinations that could lead to weaker offspring.
Several dozen people attended a recent party in Los Angeles, though many chuckled at the idea of finding a match in a smelly T-shirt.
Find a pheromone party near you.

Homosexuality: Is it a fixed identify or a serious sin?
Chairman, Traditional Values Coalition
If New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey is telling us the truth, he has committed two serious sexual sins against God and his wife: Adultery and Sodomy. As a professing Catholic, McGreevey should understand the grave nature of these sinful activities in the eyes of the church.

Temporary QRT
I am going to be off the air for the next couple of days or so. We are having a long-overdue redecoration and refurbishment of the two largest bedrooms. To facilitate this much of the present contents of those rooms have to be moved into the smallest bedroom, more commonly referred to as the shack. It will be quite impossible to access any of the radios or computers until the temporary occupants have moved out again. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but one that I don't expect to be repeated for another 12 years at least!

David Hall: All three of the 1937 silver commemorative issues have similar mintages. But for some reason, the 1937 Denver is more plentiful in Gem MS65 and Superb Gem MS66 or better condition. The typical 1937-D Texas has very attractive frosty luster. Circulated examples are virtually non-existent as almost all of the orignal mintage was saved at the time of issue.

Seagate FreeAgent Go 640GB & FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra 500GB Mobile Hard Drive Review
With the amount of data moved between systems and the critical nature of what we save, including photos, documents, and more, the need for portable storage becomes ever more important. Thumb drives have been great for transporting small amounts of data, but when you need more storage and features, a portable hard drive is the way to go. Portable hard drives allow you to transport more data and bigger file sizes between computers or allow use as an extension of your laptops hard drive space. They also offer you on-the-go back-up solutions to protect your sensitive data and allow quick recovery in the event of a disaster. Since most physical drives are the same, the things that set each one apart come down to the design and software that each manufacturer adds to the device.
Today we are going to take a look at two drives that are produced by Seagate, which are designed to make your portable life that much easier. Combined with their software tailored for the devices, you have an all in one portable transfer and backup solution for any need. Without wasting any more time let's dive right in and see what makes these drives so special.
Closer Look:
The FreeAgent Go line has been out for a bit and Seagate is kicking things up a bit with the Seagate GoFlex series, which adds a new world of portable storage with the ability to change the interface on the go. For the review Seagate was gracious enough to send us not only the base GoFlex package with the USB 2.0 interface, but also the USB 3.0 interface as well. The drive itself is a 500GB drive that comes in a blue color. There are several colors to choose from and sizes for every need, from 320GB to 1.5TB of storage space. Some of the other interfaces included FireWire and powered eSATA. On the box there is a nice view of the drive as well as features and specifications so you know exactly what you are getting when you buy one.
When you open the package there is a blister pack that protects the drive until you receive it. There is also the documentation for the unit with a quick start guide as well. Removing the items out of the package gives us the drive and the USB 2.0 adapter and cable which we will take a better look at in a bit.
The newer GoFlex series is more compact then previous Go series devices, making them more of an ultimate portable drive. They are available in a number of colors including this blue one that we received for the testing. The sizes available are from 320GB to a whopping 1.5TB which is more than enough space for anyone. The drive inside has a SATA interface as showing in the picture, which makes the interfaces easy to connect to. I tried using a SATA power and DATA cable to connect directly to it, however, the slot is too narrow and will not allow the contact needed :) The total formatted space on the 500GB GoFlex drive is 465GB, which, for a half-terabyte of portable storage, is amazing.
The genius behind the GoFlex Ultra series is the changeable interfaces. These interfaces allow you to change the connection type on the fly, adding faster transfer speeds depending on the interface chosen. It also adds flexibility to use the drive practically everywhere. By default the drive comes with a USB 2.0 interface, however, there are additional interfaces available including USB 3.0, FireWire 800, Powered eSATA (only works with powered eSATA/USB ports called eSATAp, will not work with standard eSATA port), and a Network dock to share your files any way you need. The included USB 2.0 adapter comes colored in the same blue as the drive with a black USB 2.0 cable. There is an LED on the top of the adapter right above where the cable plugs in that shows activity when in use.
To attach the interface to the drive just line up the SATA interface to the drive and push in until the tabs snap into place. It is simple as that for all of the interfaces including the docks. Once attached, the drive is all ready to be plugged in and used.
Seagate was gracious enough to send us a USB 3.0 adapter as well for testing. The USB 3.0 adapter is the same as the USB 2.0 in looks other than color. The USB 3.0 cable in this case is permanently attached to the interface so you do not lose it or get them confused. To tell the adapters apart, other than the color of the interface that is, just look into the port and you will see that USB 3.0 uses the blue colored plastics instead of the standard white on USB 2.0.
To show the drive activity, as I mentioned above, all of the interfaces use the same white LED which lights up when it is plugged in and in use. Here I have the USB 3.0 interface plugged in to show the LED however, the USB 2.0 interface does exactly the same.
Now that we have seen the 500GB FreeAgent GoFlex Ultra drive, we can move to the sister product the 640GB FreeAgent Go drive.

US Senator Mike Johanns and his wife Stephanie will be inducted into the Nebraska Republican Party Hall of Fame at the Founders Day awards dinner this Saturday, March 9 in Kearney.
US Senator Mike Johanns and his wife Stephanie will be inducted into the Nebraska Republican Party Hall of Fame at the Founders Day awards dinner this Saturday, March 9 in Kearney. The event will feature remarks from US Senator Deb Fischer, Congressman Adrian Smith, and a keynote address from Gering native and 2011 Miss America Teresa Scanlan.
"Senator Johanns is a consummate statesman and his years of steady leadership have been of great service to our state and party," said NEGOP Chairman Mark Fahleson. "He and Stephanie are very deserving of this honor."
Founders Day is a biannual event that honors the spirit and service of Republican volunteers and activists across the state. Saturday's dinner at the Younes Conference Center in Kearney will mark the first time in 14 years that the event will be hosted somewhere other than Omaha.
"The good people of Western Nebraska are the lifeblood of our party, and hosting this event the in the Third District is long overdue," Fahleson said.
Other honorees that evening will include former NEGOP Chairman and former Omaha City Councilman Chuck Sigerson, who will receive the Living Legend award, and NEGOP Treasurer Rod Krogh, who's made a full recovery from injuries suffered after a devastating car accident in October 2011. Krogh will receive the Keith Glaze Booster Club award for his dedication to the party.
In addition to the featured guests, Fahleson said that many prospective candidates for Governor and US Senate will be on hand to take part in the event.
"For anyone with an interest in the future - and the future stars - of the Republican Party in Nebraska, Kearney is the place to be this weekend," Fahleson said.
A limited number of tickets and table sponsorships remain available for the event. Reservations can be made by phone with Raven at 402-475-2122 or online at www.negop.org.

Must see in San Diego
Coronado Beach
Make the drive across the bridge to visit the beaches of Coronado, or follow the coast all the way down to Silver Strand. Silver Strand is arguably the least touristy beach near San Diego, and is very clean and well-maintained.
Torrey Pines State National Park
The $10 you'll pay to park at the entrance of Torrey Pines will be one of the best you'll spend in weeks. The mix of desert, road, mountains, cliffs, and beach terrains make this one of the most memorable hikes you'll ever take.
Balboa Park
Few places are as densely packed with history and culture as Balboa Park. First noticeable because of how massively spacious it is, and secondly because of the awe-inspiring architecture, Balboa Park is home to over 15 different museums, each with regularly evolving exhibits. Additionally, Balboa Park has restaurants, a concert hall, and unforgettable events like December Nights, a multi-cultural celebration that attracts hundreds of thousands of people each year.
Where to stay in San Diego
Reserve a Beach Condo
To maximize beach time Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach and Mission Beach, among others, offer hotels and condos with great views of the ocean, and many of them are surprisingly affordable. With a little planning, you can ensure that your beach accommodations are going to be available and affordable.
Hotel Circle
Hotel Circle is an entire district full of various types of hotels, ranging from Town & Country Resort which is great for golf lovers, to the Vegabond Inn where they charge a fair rate for a good room and continental breakfast. Perhaps the best news about staying in Hotel Circle is that it's less than ten minutes from downtown and the beaches. Also, expect a variety of nearby restaurants in the area that serve the rotating group of traveling customers.
Best and worst time go to San Diego
Weather can get somewhat cool in early mornings or around sunset, but the city is known throughout the world for having some of the absolute best weather year-round. Whenever you go out in San Diego it's going to be vibrant and thriving, and even times of heat are often accompanied by a cool breeze. In the mornings, lines will form at popular cafes like Mystic Mocha in North Park, and joggers can be seen making their morning run up Cowles Mountain in the Eastern part of the county. Additionally, San Diego has a thriving nightlife, which can be seen in areas including the Gaslamp Quarter and Pacific Beach.
Where to get lost in San Diego
Ocean Beach has to be among the greatest places to get lost in San Diego. Whether you wander past the pier to carefully navigate slippery rocks as you listen to waves crash in the cracks below, or find yourself chowing down in internationally famous restaurants like Hodad's and South Beach Grill, you can visit Ocean Beach numerous times and experience different people, places, and views.

Getting In from San Diego
The San Diego International Airport, widely known as Lindbergh Field, is easy to navigate and is just a few minutes from Downtown. Numerous cabs and shuttles run from the airport, which is close to major highways like the I-8 and I-5.
Local tip for visitors to San Diego
Try the Foods of San Diego's Many Unique Cultures

This section was reviewed and updated by the contributors, 08/2015
Clinical trials have helped make progress in the prevention, care, and treatment of people with cancer. This knowledge could not have been gained without the participation of patients, patient advocates, and health care professionals. To better understand how patient advocates and doctors work together to advance cancer research, Cancer.Net spoke with George W. Sledge Jr., MD, former President of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and Mary Lou Smith, a longtime patient advocate. Dr. Sledge and Ms. Smith have worked together for many years, primarily through the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, a clinical cancer research organization.
Q: What are the shared goals of cancer researchers and patient advocates?
Dr. George Sledge (GS): There are several common goals. First and foremost is the conquest of cancer, a life-threatening disease. A secondary goal that supports the first is the advancement of the policies and processes involved in cancer research that will make those cures possible. And, advocates have been strong voices for that research infrastructure.
Mary Lou Smith (MLS): To expand upon those themes, cancer researchers and patient advocates share the goal of answering questions that advance patient care, improve quality of life, and enhance cancer survivorship. In addition, both parties seek to ensure that clinical studies are well-designed and ethical, minimizing patient burdens.
Q: What role do patient advocates play in cancer research?
GS & MLS: Patient advocates have made, and will continue to make, numerous contributions. For example, they have played an important role in fundraising for cancer research. At a national level, patient advocates lobby Congress to give money to cancer and raise funds through philanthropic organizations. At the local level, there are innumerable examples of advocates raising money for research at just about every cancer center in the country.
In addition, advocacy groups educate patients about various types of cancer, why clinical trials are important, where they can access clinical trials, and how they can maintain a good quality of life. In many of these areas, advocacy groups have led the way and have been a positive force for improvement.
An increasing number of advocates are also serving on the many advisory boards and committees that comprise some of the infrastructure of cancer research. For example, the National Cancer Institute's National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) has advocates involved in their committees. In these settings, advocates bring the patient perspective to the planning and implementation of clinical studies. They participate in discussions about which research topics to pursue and suggest ways to minimize patient burdens in clinical trial protocols, develop patient-friendly consent forms and educational materials, and reduce disparities in clinical trial participation by increasing awareness and using culturally appropriate materials and methods. The advocates also bring a certain level of seriousness to the discussions, emphasizing the impact of the research on the lives of real men and women down the road.
Q: How has the role of patient advocates in cancer research evolved?
GS: There was a time when researchers did not recognize advocates' ability to contribute to scientific discussions to the extent that they do today. However, that has changed dramatically during the past decade. Advocates are increasingly considered a valuable and important part of the scientific peer-review process.
MLS: In addition to becoming an important part of the peer-review process, advocates are also working within the research programs. Advocacy representation is often required by the funding organization. This gives advocates the opportunity to understand the issues and represent the patient in a new way. The Research Advocacy Network, a non-profit organization that I co-founded, works to bring together all participants in the medical research process. As the head of the Advocacy Core for the Breast Cancer Center of Excellence at Indiana University, this organization led training programs, developed patient and advocate educational materials, and gathered feedback from the community to advance the research.
Q: What opportunities do you see to enhance the relationship between cancer researchers and patient advocates?
GS: Despite the positive developments in the relationship between patient advocates and researchers in recent years, there is still room for education on both sides. Advocates can improve their knowledge of the scientific and clinical issues in cancer research so they can be well-prepared to engage in discussions with researchers. Increasingly, advocacy groups have been working toward that end. For example, the National Breast Cancer Coalition has tapped top-level scientists to help advocates better understand the current areas of research and the science behind it. Going forward, having a scientific knowledge base will increase the importance of advocates to the process. Meanwhile, researchers need to recognize the value that advocates bring to the research and reach out to them as valuable allies in this fight against cancer.
MLS: Researchers and advocates should increasingly engage in joint problem-solving around key research issues, such as boosting participation in clinical trials, enhancing participant informed consent, determining mandatory versus voluntary tissue sample requirements, providing research results to participants, and educating the public and newly diagnosed patients about biospecimen research. Some additional opportunities for collaboration include developing pilot programs to identify successful ways to disseminate research results to the community and funding advocate initiatives that aim to enhance patient understanding of cancer research. The Research Advocacy Network Advocate Institute runs a class each year to train advocates in the basics of cancer research, provides the experience of attending the ASCO Annual Meeting, and helps advocates disseminate the research to the patient constituencies in their community. Additionally, jointly-sponsored forums that discuss specific examples of effective researcher-advocate collaboration can help identify best practices that can be applied in future projects. For example, Research Advocacy Network has hosted "think tanks" to provide forums for discussing current issues in research.
Q: What advice would you give to patient advocates who want to contribute to cancer research?
MLS: I'd recommend the following:
Develop the long view. Change does not happen overnight.
Learn about the science so you can communicate effectively with the research community.
Learn how the system works if you hope to make a difference and contribute to a successful change within that system.
Establish a trust relationship by demonstrating how you can support cancer research in a meaningful way—a way that researchers value. If you are not sure what they would value, ask them.
Be a collaborator, which means listening to the other's point of view, communicating, checking for understanding, and making concessions. Each party gives a little to achieve the greater good.
Recognize that this is not a social enterprise; it is a research enterprise. As a result, do not be dissuaded if the researchers do not engage in the social niceties you may have experienced in other settings.
Above all, remember that it is not about you or your agenda; it is about finding answers for cancer patients.

[28] ON TASAWWUF Imam Abu Ishaq al-Shatibi al-Maliki (d. 790)
He writes in his book al-I`tisam:
- Many of the ignorant think that the Sufis are lax in conforming to Shari`a. Far be it from them to be attributed such a belief! The very first foundation of their path is the Sunna and the avoidance of what contravenes it!
Their chief spokesman and the master of their ways and pillar of their group, Abu al-Qasim al-Qushayri, declared that they acquired the name of tasawwuf in order to dissociate themselves from the People of Innovation. He mentioned that the most honorable of Muslims after the Prophet did not give themselves, in their time, any other title than Companions, as there is no merit above that of being a Companion — then those who followed them were called the Successors. After that the people differed and the disparity of level among them became more apparent. The elite among whom prudence in belief was seen to be intense were then called zuhhad and `ubbad. Subsequently all kinds of innovations made their appearance, and the elite of Ahl al-Sunna who observed their obligations with Allah, and preserved their hearts from heedlessness became unique in their kind under the name of tasawwuf. Consider this, you will gain thereby. And Allah knows best.2

Frank Wilson
Duarte, California
Dec 5, 1940 – Sep 27, 2012 (Age 71)
Duarte, California
Dec 5, 1940 – Sep 27, 2012 (Age 71)
The Associated Press DUARTE, California (AP) — Motown record producer and songwriter Frank Wilson, who worked with the Supremes, the Temptations and Marvin Gaye, has died in Southern California at 71. Daughter Tracey Stein tells the Los Angeles Times (lat.ms/Ubo82G) that Wilson died of lung infection complications on Sept. 27 in a hospital in Duarte. Wilson, who later became a minister, wrote or co-wrote the hits "Love Child" for Diana Ross and the Supremes, "Chained" for Marvin Gaye and "All I Need" for the Temptations. After Eddie Kendricks left the Temptations, Wilson produced his 1973 hit "Keep On Truckin' (Part 1)." Wilson also helped write "You've Made Me So Very Happy," a 1967 Top 40 single for Motown's Brenda Holloway that soon became an even bigger hit for Blood, Sweat and Tears. His "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)," a 1965 single on which he performed but which was never released, became an underground hit in Britain in the 1970s. A rare copy of the song sold for $39,294 in 2009, making it the most expensive single ever auctioned, according to Guinness World Records. ___ Information from: Los Angeles Times, http://www.latimes.com

Rec Commission makes its case for doling out $620,000 in fun funds
The Mammoth Lakes Recreation Commission has spoken, for better or for worse.
Unless the town council contradicts the commission's recommendations – finalized last Tuesday – the winners and losers in $620,000 worth of Measure R recreation moolah is in the books.
The winners: Mammoth Lakes Trails and Public Access Foundation (MLTPA), the High Sierra Striders' track project, a gymnastics/tumbling program owned and managed by the Town, and Trails End Park and Little Brothers Skate Park.
The losers: Mammoth Nordic Foundation, the Whitmore Pool rehab project and the Community Center tennis courts.
Measure R funds, distributed in both a fall and spring cycle, are a result of a tax measure passed by Mammoth Lakes voters in 2008. The funds are intended to create more recreation opportunities in Mammoth.
Two weeks ago, the Recreation Commission interpreted the ordinance as one that would create new recreation initiatives, but not supplant existing facilities, such as the Whitmore Pool and the tennis courts.
The funds to rebuild or supplant facilities would come from the town's general fund, and not from revenue generated by Measure R.
The Recreation Commission's recommendations now will go to the town council, which will conduct a workshop with commission members on Dec. 1, then vote that evening at its regularly scheduled Wednesday night meeting.
But the big meeting was last Tuesday, when the commission went through an exhaustive checklist, adjusting and tweaking its recommendations, applicant by applicant.
The lion's share went to MLTPA, which asked for $246,520 in fall cycle funding and received $200,000, with the remaining $46,000 in the request to be disbursed in the spring cycle.
The up-and-coming Striders, meanwhile, requested $510,180 and received $300,000 for their track project, with a promise of $75,000 more in the spring cycle.
Mammoth's recent infatuation with winter biathlon also was reflected in the funding recommendations. The biathlon asked for and received $6,000, plus an additional $984 for a biathlon rifle storage facility.
Meanwhile, $53,000 in Measure R cash was awarded for the completion of Trails End Park and the construction of Little Brothers Skate Park.
Mammoth Nordic, on the other hand, asked for $355,444 but received just $5,440. In this case, the Recreation Commission recommended that it form a committee to see if Brian Knox's crew can integrate with MLTPA.
As for tennis, the Town asked for $250,000 and got nothing, which was no judgment on tennis, but, rather, went against the grain of the policy decision regarding "new" versus "supplanting" existing facilities.
Similarly, the Town requested $430,000 for a multi-use facility and ice rink slab, but got zippo. The Town also requested $110,000 for a modernization and completion project at the Whitmore pool but got nothing.
In all, 14 applicants collectively requested $2,218,763. Although reaction was heated, no one's talking until the commission's recommendations come before council.

Jets 3, Rangers 1
Jets captain Andrew Ladd believes momentum can carry Winnipeg
into the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Ladd finished off the Jets' 3-1 win over the New York Rangers on
Thursday night with an empty-net goal. Winnipeg has earned nine of
10 points in the past five games (4-0-1).
"We've got to feed on what we've done the last couple games and
the success we've had and the good feelings that come from that,"
Ladd said. "When things are happening and things are going well,
you get a sense of your game.
"You know what to do, you realize why you're doing things, and
it makes it easier to make those decisions."
Nik Antropov scored the game's first goal, and Antti Miettinen
had his first of the season for Winnipeg (14-11-2). Ladd's
clinching goal – his 14th tally of the season – came with 39
seconds left for the Jets, who also had a pair of assists from
Dustin Byfuglien.
Antropov has two goals and four assists during a four-game point
Ondrej Pavelec made 28 saves to earn his 11th win.
Ryan Callahan was the lone scorer for the Rangers (13-11-2), who
have dropped two straight in the middle of a four-game road trip.
Hendrik Lundqvist stopped 30 shots.
Eighth-place Winnipeg has a two-point lead over the Rangers in
the Eastern Conference playoff race, but the Jets have played one
more game than New York.
"It was a tough game to play," said Pavelec, who stopped
Marian Gaborik on a penalty shot. "They have some big guys in the
lineup, and I think we handled it pretty well. In that third
period, I think we played really well."
The teams kept the tempo high in the second period, and the Jets
went ahead 2-1 on Miettinen's first goal of the season in his
seventh game.
Byfuglien sent a wrist shot from the point at Lundqvist, who was
screened by Miettinen. The puck deflected off Miettinen and found
the net at 14:52.
Both teams had 22 shots on goal through two periods.
Both goalies made some good saves in the third, with Lundqvist
making two big stops in the final three minutes to keep it a
one-goal game.
Lundqvist was pulled for an extra skater just over a minute and
a half remaining, but the Rangers turned the puck over in
Winnipeg's end.
Olli Jokinen passed it up in the neutral zone to Blake Wheeler,
who moved it ahead to Ladd for an easy 14th goal of the season.
New York paid for a penalty early in the first period after
defenseman Michael Del Zotto went to the box for cross-checking at
Just 12 seconds later, Jets center Kyle Wellwood passed the puck
across the ice just inside the blue line to Byfuglien, who fired
the puck at the net. Antropov flipped the puck past Lundqvist with
a backhanded shot.
Antropov is on a four-game point streak with two goals and four
The Rangers got a free chance to score when Gaborik was awarded
a penalty shot after Byfuglien hooked him at 11:17 of the first
period, but his attempt to stuff the puck under Pavelec's pad was
"We've got to capitalize," Rangers coach John Tortorella said.
"When you have a penalty shot, you have a breakaway, some really
good looks there, you need to get something done there.
"Hopefully, we can get our next game, some guys gain some
confidence and we score some goals along with defending the proper
The Rangers, who lost three of four, will complete a four-game
trip on Saturday in Pittsburgh.
Callahan tied it 1-1 at 1:11 of the second period when he stood
in front of the net and redirected a shot by Derek Stepan.
NOTES: Winnipeg will play at Toronto on Saturday and at Ottawa
on Sunday.

What Happened in the Hospital
You were in the hospital to treat your breathing problems that are caused by interstitial lung disease. This disease scars your lungs, which makes it hard for your body to get enough oxygen.
You received oxygen treatment, and you may need to keep using oxygen when you go home. Your doctor may have given you a new medicine to treat your lungs.
Keep Active
Try walking to build up strength:
- Ask your doctor or therapist how far to walk.
- Slowly increase how far you walk.
- Try not to talk when you walk.
Ride a stationary bike. Ask your doctor or therapist how long and how hard to ride.
Make yourself stronger even when you are sitting:
- Use small weights or rubber tubing to make your arms and shoulders stronger.
- Stand up and sit down several times.
- Hold your legs straight out in front of you.
Ask your doctor how much oxygen you should be using during your activity.
Eat smaller meals more often. It might be easier to breathe when your stomach isnt full. Try to eat 6 small meals a day. Do not drink a lot of liquid before eating, or with your meals.
Ask your doctor
If you smoke, STOP. Stay away from smokers when you are out, and do not allow smoking in your home. Stay away from strong odors and fumes. Do breathing exercises.
Take all the medicines that your doctor prescribed for you.
Talk to your doctor if you feel depressed or anxious.
Stay Away from Infections
Get a flu shot every year. Ask your doctor if you should get a pneumococcal (pneumonia) vaccine.
Wash your hands often, and always after you go to the bathroom and when you are around people who are sick.
Stay away from crowds. Ask a visitor with a cold to wear a mask or postpone their visit.
Make It Easy for Yourself at Home
Place items you use a lot in spots where you do not have to reach or bend over to get them. Use a cart with wheels to move things around the house and kitchen. Use an electric can opener, dishwasher, and other things that will make your chores easier to do. Use cooking tools (knives, peelers, and pans) that are not heavy.
Tips to save energy:
- Use slow, steady motions when you are doing things.
- Sit down if you can when you are cooking, eating, dressing, and bathing.
- Get help for harder tasks.
- Do not try to do too much in one day.
- Keep the phone with you or near you.
- Wrap yourself in a towel rather than drying off.
- Try to reduce stress in your life.
Going Home with Oxygen
Never change how much oxygen is flowing in your
Always have a back-up supply of oxygen in the home or with you when you go out. Keep the phone number of your oxygen supplier with you at all times. Learn
Your hospital doctor or nurse may ask you to make a follow-up visit with:
- Your primary care doctor
- A respiratory therapist who can teach you breathing exercises and how to use your oxygen
- Your lung doctor (pulmonologist)
- Someone who can help you stop smoking, if you smoke
- A physical therapist, if you join a pulmonary rehabilitation program
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if your breathing is:
- Getting harder
- Faster than before
- Shallow, and you cannot get a deep breath
Also call your doctor if:
- You need to lean forward when sitting in order to breathe easier.
- You are using muscles around ribs to help you breathe.
- You are having headaches more often.
- You feel sleepy or confused.
- You have a fever.
- You are coughing up dark mucus.
- Your fingertips, or the skin around your fingernails, are blue.

Prepare for a day that will go down in history. November 5, 2011. We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.
Well no one can ever accuse Anonymous of not having a flair for the dramatic. In a weird, voice-altered Youtube video message (below), complete with ominous music, Anonymous is announcing its intent of taking down Facebook on the aforementioned date of November 5. So if you've been threatening to nuke your Facebook profile in favor of Google+, maybe you should just hold tight and let your Anonymous friends do it for you. According to the message, they are doing it for the greater good and exhorting people to "kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy."
So Anonymous has flung down the gauntlet, but is it a real threat of cyberwar or just an extremely over-the-top PSA to "citizens of the world" to guard their privacy a bit more and view the world with an extra dose of paranoia? Now being the cynical person that I am, I would only half-jokingly submit that there is a corporate Facebook competitor behind this and not a passionate legion of world hackers. But that's just me.
Of course, as you geeks probably already know, November 5 is the anniversary of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, which was aimed at blowing up the House of Lords in England and assassinating King James I — also known as Guy Fawkes Day, also figuring significantly in the dystopian comic book series, V for Vendetta.

Part 1: Negotiating with Terror
In 2011, Israel set 1,027 prisoners free in exchange for the release of Gilad Shalit. More recently, the rise of ISIS and the murders of James Foley and Steven Sutloff and others have forced us to revisit this heart wrenching debate: Should we pay hefty ransoms or release dangerous criminals in exchange for the life and freedom of an innocent hostage?
Part 2: Torturing to Save Lives
The recent "Torture Report" alleges that the brutal interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the aftermath of 9/11 were ineffective. But what if they did yield valuable information--would they have been justified? While the evils of terror must be combated, human rights must also be protected.

Samsung's annual up-gradation to its even larger screen Galaxy Note series is about to surface the scene, or as we suspect. As the Galaxy Note phones, supersize have been sufficiently popular enough Samsung for the renewal of series every September, that is why we are beginning to track down our Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rumors now.
Samsung spearheaded pioneering the big phone passion, which Apple validates this year with its 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, it was the first big screen phone by Apple. Now the Samsung is holding a position as the originator to attract the "phablet" fans to its next Note, this is the phone that has the difference in itself from the pack by inclusive a stylus for navigation and drawing.
The Occasion of the Launch
Normally, I would like to say that all the wagers are putting bets on the IFA, the big technical show that took place in every year of September in Berlin but this year it is running from September 4-9, with the press days as the likelihood is the 2nd and the 3rd. Since the Samsung has launched the every Note phone without failure, as the precedent has been set up.
The Design and the Build
Big enough" is the word for the portrayal of the Note 5. That is because the Samsung started off this entire "phablet" furoray in the first place. In the year 2011, the genuine Note's 5.3-inch screen size sounded to be strangely immense. Now, you can lighten your wallet with over 6-inch displays.
For the last two phases, Samsung held the Note size consistent at 5.7 inches. While the company is able to bump up the screen size always, bigger phone dimensions appear to be a bad idea. The Galaxy Note 4 is hitting that sweet spot in between a costly screen you can use to write, to view and put it to multitask on a body that is comfortable more or less for the adults to hold. The stylus resembles with the Note 4, so you rest assured that it will be a big enough part of this phone, built in the holster as well.
I have the confidence that Samsung will apply the S6's updated fingerprint reader to the Note 5, coupled with a heart-rate monitor on it, and the chance is that the same infrared blasters in order to tune up the TV as we have seen on the many higher-end Samsung phones.
The buying cost varies from region to region, but it is safe to understand that Note 5 prices will fall in the same ballpark like the Note 4. The rumors about the SamMobile circulate that the launch will take place on the August 12, 2015, so the August 21 will follow the sale date.

Luke Murray enters his second season as an assistant coach on the ETSU volleyball staff. Murray will primarily work with the setters, while also assist with recruiting, scouting, and academics.
In his first season at ETSU, Murray helped direct the Bucs to an Atlantic Sun Championship en route making the NCAA Tournament for the first-time in program history. Murray coached setters Kayla Williams and Jamie Rutledge who combined for 1,458 total assists. Rutledge ranked seventh in the A-Sun in assists per set (9.04) and finished with nine double-doubles on the campaign. Rutledge also notched double-digit assists in 24 matches and recorded a career-high 64 assists in both matches against Northern Kentucky.
The Bucs also excelled in the classroom as ETSU registered a team grade-point-average of 3.592, marking the second-highest GPA by an ETSU team in 2012-13. Overall, 12 student-athletes registered a GPA above a 3.0, while six players recorded a 3.7 clip or better. Meanwhile, in the fall of 2012, a record-high four Buccaneer standouts were placed on the A-Sun All-Academic Team, while the team received AVCA Team Academic honors for the second straight season.
Murray played collegiately at Penn State for head coach Mark Pavlik from 2005-08 and was a part of the Nittany Lions' 2008 National Championship team. While at Penn State, Murray received numerous accolades such as:
