FC Utrecht and Roda JC Kerkrade in balance: 0-0.
In the last match of 2016 for FC Utrecht, trainer/coach Erik ten Hag's team shared the points with Roda JC Kerkrade. The match ended as it started in Parkstad Limburg Stadium: 0-0.
Though Sinterklaas may have left the country, there was a knock on the door. An urgent knocking even. It was FC Utrecht who were knocking and it was the defence of the Limburgers who kept their door tightly closed. Well, except for a few moments. Then there was an FC Utrecht foot in the door.
There was such a situation approximately fifteen minutes before the end. Then we saw a big scrimmage just before the goal of the team from Kerkrade. Mark van der Maarel, Sébastien Haller, Nacer Barazite; there were dangerous opportunities galore. It was Benjamin van Leer who managed to get rid of the FC Utrecht foot in the door and firmly slammed it. With all the necessary reflexes he kept a clean sleet.
Janssen's goal disallowed
The goalkeeper was outwitted once. And this happened quite early in the match. Referee Allard Lindhout disallowed the goal, though from television footage it was quite obvious that it was a valid goal and that it was not off-side.
Ajagun sloppy
During the more than eighty minutes that were left after that moment, both teams went for it, but a really spectacular match did not come about. Roda JC who had played a draw in the six matches preceding the one against the FC from the Domstad and who had another draw now, seem to sit back complacently; Yannis Anastasiou's team, however, also had a few great opportunities. Abdul Ajagun had a few, but the Nigerian handled the opportunities in a very sloppy manner.
Van der Maarel guardian angel
Except for one moment when most of the supporters in the Parkstad Limburg Stadium jumped up. Roda JC Kerkrade were going to score 1-0. That was what many thought. Ajagun just touched the ball too softly, allowing Mark van der Maarel to clear the ball from the goal line. That is what an FC Utrecht defender does.
Nil plus nil is one
And what was the result of it all? It was nil and nil, which means 0-0, so both teams one point. With the draw in Kerkrade an attractive first half of the season came to an end. Trainer/coach Erik ten Hag's team have a fair position in the Eredivisie and are ready for the quarter final of the KNVB Cup. 'All to play for' in 2017, a year when FC Utrecht will start with an away match against Sparta Rotterdam on Sunday 14 January and a year when a home match against Ajax will be the first game in Stadium Galgenwaard on Sunday 22 January.

Welcome to Clean & Seal
Clean & Seal was created over 27 years ago with only one thought in mind:
Natural stone, by its nature, needs to be maintained on an ongoing, year-by-year basis to avoid the pitfalls of mold, mildew, food, drink and organic staining. So that's what we set out to do. We only do one thing and we do it to the best that it can be done. We talk to all our clients on a yearly basis and stay on top of timing so they don't have to. Other contractors said we were crazy for calling on clients every year, but I told them if we do an exceptional job, at a fair price that our clients will appreciate, this service will help maintain the value of their investment. After all these years, not only have we seen our clients on a yearly basis but we have also became friends, and that's the way we like to run our business.

text: Two years ago Gaylord Evangelical Free Church showed the movie "Fireproof" with more than 1,300 people in attendance. There are still reports of people taking the 30-day, "love dare" challenge and how it is positively impacting their marriage. Gaylord Evangelical Free Church is offering another marriage enrichment event called "The Art of Marriage," produced by Family Life Today, Feb. 11-12. This will be a nationwide event, with hundreds of churches and thousands of participants across America. The plan is for this event to be a powerful tool to help strengthen marriages which in turn, will strengthen communities all over Northern Michigan. According to Jack Dutton, event coordinator, "We really want to help reinforce Christian marriages that reflect God's love and gives credence to the transforming truth of the gospel." The Art of Marriage Event is a one-and-a-half day video event built on the same biblically based content as the "Weekend to Remember" marriage getaway which Family Life Today has been doing for more than 30 years. Unlike many video series this will have the feel of a live simulcast. The Art of Marriage brings together some of the most respected and influential pastors and experts on marriage and family all in one setting. The Art of Marriage consists of six video sessions and an accompanying manual that provides couples with projects to help apply the principles taught during each session. The manual also is designed for couples to use after the event by offering articles, date night ideas and useful tips for continuing to strengthen their marriage. Doors open Friday, Feb. 11, at 5:45 p.m. with sessions running from 6:30-9 p.m. Doors open Saturday, Feb. 12, at 8:15 a.m. with four sessions running between 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

In Paris, a walk around the block can take you back centuries. A chance encounter can make history come alive. This is especially true in the Marais, which is filled with magnificent hôtels particuliers built in the 16th and 17th centuries as private in-town mansions for the rich and famous.
Recently, I was photographing the beautiful Louis XV portal of the Hôtel D'Alméras when a man stopped and said: "Ah, Madame, you are so right to photograph those doors. They are a treasure and one that we French almost lost." An elderly man, he was dressed in a finely-tailored topcoat with a cashmere scarf round stylishly around his neck. We'll call him Monsieur D.
It was in 1682, about 70 years after the construction of the Hôtel d'Alméras, that the Marais began to lose its cachet when Louis XIV officially moved the Royal Court about 10 miles southwest of Paris to Versailles. Anyone who was anyone followed the Court, and the elegant Marais began its slow decline. Factories took over the once sumptuous mansions and, one by one, many of the magnificent hôtels were demolished.
In the 19th century, when Jews were granted the full rights of French citizenship after the Revolution, the Marais became a center of Jewish life. All that, however, came to a brutal end in 1941-42 when French Jews were deported to concentration camps. After the war, according to Monsieur D., the City of Paris wanted to raze the entire Marais and rebuilt it with modern high-rise structures.
"Aux barricades, les citoyens!" Members of historical groups, architects and ordinary citizens decided to protest and by 1962, the voice of the people prevailed. The Marais was declared the first "protected sector" under a new French law to safeguard a national heritage. Monsieur D. recounted all this as we walked along past several beautiful restored hôtels.
Monsieur D. lives in a hôtel particulier that he purchased and restored more than 35 years ago. "Now the City of Paris lauds the Marais as one of its national treasures," he said, "but when I was trying to buy my building, they made it very difficult for me. They just wanted to tear everything down." When he bought it, his hôtel was in ruins, but being an architect, he saw the potential. "Even my friends said I was out of my mind, but I knew it could be something beautiful. It is right up the street. Would you like to see it?"
Monsieur D. very courteously extended his arm and a moment later, we stood in front of two beautifully-carved wooden doors. He opened one of them to reveal an entryway leading to an interior courtyard. Behind a protected garden where primrose bloomed even in the cold of winter stood his beautiful classic French hôtel. Bird song filled the air and the sounds of the busy street seemed far away.
Standing in the garden, Monsieur D talked about today's Marais, a thriving area filled with fashionable stores, restaurants and bars. Little by little, however, he slipped back into the past - his children, his work, his father. A high-placed French government official during the Second World War, his father opposed the Nazis. As a result, he was imprisoned in France for three years and then handed over to the Germans and sent to a concentration camp. He survived and after the war, he returned to government service.
Monsieur D. now lives alone and like any courtier of times past, he would not think of inviting an unaccompanied woman into his house. Instead, taking my hand he said: "I will keep you no longer. It has been a pleasure, madame. I wish you a good evening.
The next day brought a visit to the Cognacq-Jay Museum. Like many of the Museums of the City of Paris, it has free entry to its permanent collections. If you come to Paris in high tourist season, these city museums can be a welcome respite from the crowds. The Cognacq-Jay is housed in one of the most magnificently-restored hôtels of the Marais - the Hôtel Donon and it seemed fitting to visit it after the encounter with Monsieur D. Built in 1575, the hôtel has been restored to its former glory by the City of Paris. Its purpose, its brochure states, is to "recreate the refinement prevailing in a Parisian mansion in the Age of Enlightenment." Although he is of a later century, it is easy to imagine Monsieur D. quite at home in its elegant and refined surroundings.
A bientôt,Geraldine

Huawei Honor Phablet Featuring a 6.6" 2K Screen and 4400mAh Battery Spotted
by Jul 2, 2016 2:29 am1
Huawei is going to release the Honor 8 on July 11 and it seems that isn't the only phone launching. This new phone showed up at TENAA with model number EDI-DL00 and is sort of a max version of the Honor 8. So, could it be called Honor 8 Max? While we wait for the official name to be confirmed, let's take a look at some of the specs.
The phone will feature a massive 6.6" screen with a 2K resolution, a Kirin 950 octa-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM,and will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Huawei has decided to give the phone a 4400mAh battery which we expect should support fast charge.
Sadly, the "Honor 8 Max" will not get the dual camera treatment like its other siblings. Camera configuration is 8MP in front and 13MP at the rear. Dimensions are 178.8 x 90.9 x 7.18 (mm) and weight has been kept at 219 grams.
For a phone this large, you'd expect Huawei to put the fingerprint scanner in front or positioned lower even if it is going to be at the back, but it sits at the upper part. So unless you have really large hands (and long fingers), unlocking the phone might pose some difficulties.
If the "Honor 8 Max" is meant to take on the Xiaomi Mi Max, it'll do well to be priced at more or less the same price range as its rival. The Mi Max while sporting a smaller FHD screen (6.44") features a larger battery(4850mAh), has NFC, and cost $230 for 650 processor; $260 for the 3GB/32GB with a SD652 chipset; and $307 for the 4GB/128GB version with the snapdragon 652 SoC.

Vatican was urged not to promote abusive priest
A newly published letter shows Vatican officials were warned of sexual abuse allegations against Bernard Prince, a Canadian Catholic priest they had promoted to a top Vatican position.
Bishop Joseph Windle of Pembroke, Ont., sent the letter to the pope's envoy to Canada on Feb. 10, 1993, two years after Prince was made secretary general for the Vatican's Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
"In conscience, and before God, I must inform your Excellency that I am adamantly opposed to Fr. Prince receiving any Papal honour or ever being promoted to the Episcopate," Windle wrote. "The consequences of such an action would be disastrous, not only for the Canadian Church but for the Holy See, as well."
Windle does not state specifically that there were allegations of sexual abuse against Prince, who was a friend of the late Pope John Paul II. Instead, Windle refers to "four or five victims" who suffered "traumatic memories of their experiences"; "unfortunate events" and "Fr. Prince's untoward conduct."
Honouring Prince could "trigger a reaction among the victim(s) ... and this would prove extremely embarrassing both to the Holy See and to the Diocese of Pembroke, not to mention the possibility of criminal charges being laid and a civil lawsuit ensuing," Windle warned.
He suggested his concerns were shared by other bishops, including:
- Archbishop Aloysius Ambrozic, of Toronto.
- Archbishop Joseph Lawrence Wilhelm, of Kingston.
- Archbishop Francis Spence, Wilhelm's successor.
- Archbishop Marcel Gervais, of Ottawa.
- Bishop John O'Mara, of Thunder Bay.
- Bishop Anthony Tonnos, of Hamilton.
Prince served at the Vatican until he retired in 2004.
He was still living in Rome when Ontario Provincial Police issued a warrant for his arrest on accusations of sexual abuse.
He was convicted in 2008 of molesting 13 boys in Canada between 1964 and 1984.
He originally faced more than 30 charges, including buggery, indecent assault and gross indecency, against the boys, who were aged 12 to 15. Many of them were altar boys he met in the small Polish community of Wilno, near Algonquin Park.
The incidents took place at Prince's cottage, his Ottawa apartment and at the victims' homes.
Robert Talach, the London, Ont.-based lawyer representing a number of Prince's victims, said the church's apparent lack of a response to warnings comes from both its desire to avoid scandal and a lack of understanding of the seriousness of the alleged crimes.
"[There is a] scandal-centric attitude on reducing scandal at all costs, which ironically in the long-run now has created more scandal than anything," said Talach.
"It seems to be norm now that there isn't an appropriate reaction at any level of the church, that this crime of child sexual abuse is not viewed in the same eye as secular society views it," he said.
Prince was defrocked and is in jail serving a four-year sentence.

Man, did I stay away. The end of 2013 was an extremely busy time for me.
Learning to manage time is crucial when you have such a busy lifestyle. Each day I pack so many activities into my life from exercising, to reading scriptures daily, cooking, cleaning, animals, husband when he's home, and the list goes on. I have children that live all over the country and have to spend some phone time talking with them.
On a monthly basis I teach a class on the 4th Sunday which requires advance prep time, and I visit teach 3 different sisters, and help my husband now with his home teaching.
After a leave of absence, I will be finishing my class on writing which requires homework.
Amidst all that craziness, which I am sure matches most of your lives, I write, and had been maintaining a blog, website, facebook, twitter, goodreads and other fun activities.
Prioritizing is important, as well as learning how to get the most out of your day without wasting time. How much time to spend on any one thing is important. Time is not something that can be recalled and I believe we need to spend it wisely.
So, my New Years resolution is to manage my time more wisely, and Write, Write, Write!
Whether it is a journal or a novel or short story, I want to write. I love to write, and I love learning all there is about writing. I feel I can't absorb enough information on this subject. Writing, editing, critiquing, submitting, and publishing, all involves knowledge and lots of hard work.
I've rolled back my sleeves and I'm moving forward. This is a New Year and the chance for new ideas and the resolve to make it happen.
Happy New Year my fellow writers and friends. May you all exceed your expectations this year.
Kathy S. Collier-Mehl

Wedding photographs can be so similar, so it's understandable some snappers go the extra mile to create something special.
This photographer seems to have taken it a bit too far though.
The very keen cameraman was spotted hanging out of the passenger window of a speeding car trying to get the perfect shot for his wedding party.
A video which has been posted on Facebook by All Singapore Stuff shows the daredevil snapper trying to get the ideal picture, with seemingly no care or consideration for his own safety.
Vatar Sam of the Singapore Reckless Drivers Community said: "The wedding photographer [is] sticking almost half of his body out of the car window while on the road to take pictures."
It's not the first bridal party to risk life and limb for a cracking photo album.
Earlier this year, a couple who tied the knot in China's Shaanxi province scaled a sheer cliff in full wedding clothing for their images.

Something fantastic happened recently on our new homestead.
Nani, one of our Red Star hens, laid her first egg!
It was actually quite eventful. We heard a loud "bacaawwwwwk" and after 4 and ½ months of waiting, there in a perfect little light-brown package, was our ROI.
What does this have to do with health and fitness? Actually, the whole process struck me as incredibly similar.
- I made a decision to take control of some of the family's food sources.
- I chose something that, for me, was doable and fit our budget.
- I researched and chose to start with a small flock of chickens.
- I bought the necessary items for them to be healthy and happy.
- I committed and bought them.
- I asked people who had more experience to learn all I could about them.
- I continued to read and research as they grew and changed.
- I invested in their care daily.
- Four and half months later, we had our first egg.
Each day I tended to them and their needs, keeping in mind my ultimate goal of fresh, organic, free-range eggs.
As silly as it may seem, I was so excited when Nani laid her first egg. And since then, she's laid a perfect large sized egg at approximately 9:30 each morning. The others haven't started to lay yet, but I'll keep consistently doing all the tasks needed to help ensure that happens.
It didn't happen overnight. It was a process. There were days I didn't feel like listening to their incessant cheeping (really cute at first) when they were still small and in our house or cleaning their coop once they were outside. I stepped in chicken poop, ran outside when it was starting to storm to get them to shelter, left someplace early to make sure they were fed and watered, and chased off neighbors' dogs. It's been a daily thing.
But when I saw that first egg, all that work was worth it, because I did something I've never done before.
It's the same with health. It's a daily thing. Sometimes you dont feel like it. Sometimes you might have to leave the party early. But when you reach your goal, whatever that may be, you'll experience that little miracle of accomplishment. I would have never thought a little thing like an egg would make me feel personally empowered. But I really think it's just the feeling of accomplishing something I doubted I could follow through on.
Sometimes the smallest of things can be the most empowering.
*What about you? What small things in your life help empower you? Is it a note from a child? A word said at the right moment?

The HNLMS Tromp F803 ship displaces 6,044 tonnes fully loaded and has a length of 144m. Powered by two diesel engines with the expected boost of twin turbines driving twin shafts, she is reported to have a speed of around 30 knots through the water. In keeping with modern design thinking, the ship carries a low radar and heat signature.
Three days later, on 17 March 2010, HNLMS Tromp was involved in an incident with suspected pirates off the coast of eastern Africa. Two small boats approached the frigate at high speed. After realizing the Tromp was a warship, the pirates fled. However, the Tromp pursued and captured the two boats, along with a mother ship. The frigate destroyed the two boats and released the pirates to the mother ship, after it had been cleared of weapons.
On 5 April 2010, HNLMS Tromp rescued the container ship MV Taipan by rappelling 6 Marines from its Lynx helicopter (under covering fire from the helicopter and the Tromp) to the deck of the Taipan, resulting in the capture of 10 pirates. The 13 crew (2 German, 3 Russian, 8 Sri Lankan) were unharmed having taken refuge in a secure location after stopping the ship's engines.
The HNLMS TROMP F803 Class Frigate armaments consist of a large array of missiles, with a single gun on the foredeck and several lighter guns plus four torpedo tubes. She is equipped to carry two helicopters and has a crew of 220.

Here is the full code of the driver that we have pieced together in the previous three chapters
Note: The code has been tested and found working on version 3.5.4
The above code being a kernel module, it needs a Makefile for compilation.
Note: The above makefile is taken from the Device Drivers book from Alessandro Rubini .
The make file checks if the KERNELRELEASE is set, because we need to know the location where the kernel Makefile is located, as it is that Makefile which we will use to compile our code.
If the KERNELRELEASE is not set then we set the KERNELDIR to the default location of the kernel tree, where we will find the Makefile.
After setting this we call make in the script, but this time we pass the "-c" option to indicate where the kernel makefile is located. The "M" option tells the make file where is the source code of the module that we want to compile into a kernel module. In our case the source code is present in the same folder so we pass value of present working directory.
Note that the name of the object code against "obj-m" in the makefile should be the name of your "c" file for the module, just replace the ".c" with ".o" .
Once you have created the file save it as Makefile (Note the capital "M"), in the same folder where your module is stored.
Open a terminal, and go to the file where you have the module and the Makefile, run the command
If the command does not throw any errors, then your code has been compiled successfully. Run "ls" and see that you should have a file by same name as your "c" code only with the ".ko" as the extension.
To insert the module into the kernel we will use the command "insmod", you will need superuser privileges to run the command.
If there are no errors your module is a part of the kernel now, as we have added a "printk" to print the major number in our init function, run the command "dmesg" and you will find the line printed, with the major number, for eg :
Make a note of the number, we will need it again.
Once we have inserted the module, we need to have a device which will use the driver or the module. So we can create an entry like a device in /dev using the command "mknod"
Run the command
If there are no errors we have a device ready that we can talk to using our driver.
NOTE: This code will not work with command "cat" , please use the application code in the next chapter. The updated code which will work with "cat" will be the chapter-6.

Sam Wheeler, director of Student Unions and Activities, made the decision to extend Marriotfs con tract based on information and advice received from employees, surveys, the Food Service Committee and the food committee at ASNAU. Negotiations are still ongoing for the final contract with Marriott. No other companies were considered, Wheeler said. "When you have a good thing why go through those first couple of realty rough years while th e company is adjusting?" Wheeler said. The process to review other companies is very lengthy; involving proposals of mere than 2,000 pages and bids that could cost the companies as much as $200,000, Wheeler said. State law allows a maximum of 10 years before the university must open the contract up forbids. The original con tract with Marriott was for five years with five one-year extensions. This is the last semester of that original five years and the contract will expire in July. The expansion of the du Bois Conference Center is a $2 million project, Wheeler said. Marriott will provide a $13 million non-interest loan for the project on the contingency that their contract will be extended.

Volume 87, Issue 3 ©COPYRIGHT 1992 Wednesday, January 29,1992 E n t e r t a i n m e n t University lacks minority representation By Juanita Hardy The Lumberjack Editors note: The following is the first of a three part series examining minority repesentalion at NA U. Minority students who want a voice in the political arena may find a microphone within the Minority Affairs Committee and several other student government associations. The Minority Affairs Commi ttee acts as a liasion between ASNAU and minority students, said Erik Anderson, former senator of the College of Social and Behavorial Sciences. The com mi tees* primary focus this year has been to increase community and u niversi ty involvemen t in cultural activities, Anderson said. Some of the projects being considered include an emergency loan progam, a community outreach program targeted at local 'at risk' students, a food drive and a minority film festival. Although the MAC was started togiveminoritesan avenueto their student leaders, ASNAU's committment to addressing this issue extends past the comittee, said Mark Popejoy, ASNAU vice president of student services. In addition to the MAC, ASNAU has two minority senators, Jennie Garcia and Leonard Begayand two minority staff members. The small number of minority senators stems from the fact that traditionally, large numbers of minorities have not and at one point were notallowed to be involved in government on a national level, Popejoy said. "A legacy such as that is sometimes hard to overcome without a conscious effort from both sides," he said. ASNAU is trying to encourage more minority students to run for office by talking to ethnic organizations on campusabou telec tions, ASNAU and its power to create change, Popejoy said. "I think we (ASNAU) need to extend an extra hand if we want to increase minority involvemen t," he said. Mickey Walker, ASNAU student body president said minority representation is essential because dif-fere n t cul tures have d i fTere n t ways of looking at things. See ETHNIC, Page 5 aPtl aDnPe Sr'e truerqnueeds t By Robert Gehl The Lumberjack The University has returned a twin-engine plane loaned to them by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, after a three-month lease marked by controversy and accusations of disregarding a contractual agreement "The plane was returned shortly before Christmas, shortly after the (local press coverage),' said Frank Besnette, NAU executive vice presidenL NAU returned the plane at the request of DPS, and not because of media pressure, Besnette said. "We are now operating with one singleengine plane. It does not provide the benefits that the twin-engine plane did, but it is a workhorse/ Besnette said. T h e twin-en-gine allowed for better night flying and low attitude flying." The plane was used strictly for administrative travel, Besnette said. "It did have law enforcement purposes, however, in return for use of the plane, a crime lab was set up on NAU grounds for use of the D PS/ Besnette said. Campus alcohol policy demanded by Greeks By Heather Williams The Lumberjack . After seven sexual harassment incidents during the fall semester with none involving fraternities,Jim Skelding, Inter-Fraternity Council president, has asked the Associated Students of NAU to create an alcohol policy for all other organizations on campus. "It's discriminatory for the administration to require the Greeks to have a policy when Blue Key had an incident (sexual harassment) last semester," Skelding said. This new policy by ASNAU will be much less strenuous, Skelding said. The new policy, GARD (Greeks Advocating Responsible Drinking) will be similar to Arizona State University's and the University o f Arizona's programs. "The Greeks didn't think it was fair that the administration required them to have an alcohol policy for their organization," said Tana Kelch, ASNAU senator for the College of Creative and Communication Arts. Compiling a policy for the entire campus would be difficult because ASNAU doesn't have close unity with all clubs on campus, Kefch said. The new Greek policy, which is a national policv. will require ID verification, and the publishing of times and places of parties. The new Greek policy will go into effect fall 1992. There has to be some kind of a policy for other organizations as well, Skelding said. *The Greeks want equal stipulations and to feel like any other club and organization on campus," Kelch said. College merger would reverse 12-year split By Juanita Hardy The Lumberjack NAU is reviewing a proposal to merge the colleges of Arts and Sciences and Social and Behaviorial Sciences, but it was only 12 years ago that a similiar proposal was being reviewed detailing why the colleges should separate. In the proposal initiated by Patsy Reed, vice president o f academic affairs, it is asked that the two colleges be merged beginning in 1992-93 and placed under the leadership of Earl Backman, dean of the College of SBS. The proposal states "Merging the two collegesisacademicallysound... "although 12 years ago it was decided that students would benefit more by placing similar disciplines within the same college, said Stephen Chambers, associate director for University Planning and Analysis. During the 1970sNAU was divided into two primary campuses, the North Academic Center which housed discipline-related studies such as the physical sciences and English and the South Academic Center which housed in ter disciplinary studies including business,engineei-ing and the health sciences, Chambers said. Originally, the two centers were considered to be "free standing.' Each had its own provost (academic officer) that oversaw the affairs of that campus, Chambers said. As both sites began to grow, students complained about the separation which prompted administration to look in to ways to 'shrink' the campuses in terms of mobility and mold the two into one. Administration began examining ways to take a more "traditional approach" to education by placing similiar disciplines within the same college, Chambers said. During the 1979-80 school year, under the direction of first year President Eugene M. Hughes, the then College of Public and Environmental Sciences was changed into the College of SBS. More than a decade later, NAU professors are speculating about today's proposed merger. Gary Buckley, political science professor an d the first dean of the college o f SBS, said he disagrees with the current propsal to merge the two college into one. Twelve years ago when the colleges were 'scattered' into four different colleges, Buckley said it made it difficult to integrate similiar disciplines into interdisciplinary studies, a situation which he said could happen again. Buckely has other concerns ranging from the reorganization o f administra-don, clash of views from faculty of each college, the promodon and tenure process and possible curriculum changes. An additional concern is that the administrator's proposal to merge the colleges is motivated by budget problems and not because it makes good academic sense, he said. Deane Hargrave, an English professor at NAU 12 years ago when the colleges reorganized, said she was in favor of the spilt then and now because one college would be too big to house so many different in terests. "Evennow it's hard withjustDean Webb to communicate all of the interests o f the different departments. It would only com-pou nd the problem by having one dean," she said. Backman is confident he could manage See MERGER, Page 4

Right-wing talkradio hosts and Fox News Channel talent like David Asman and John Gibson could barely contain their glee over the announcement that Dan Rather would be leaving the "CBS Evening News" next year.
"Should we celebrate?" asked Gibson, sitting in on Bill O'Reilly's radio show, before temporarily slipping by suggesting that Rather had been driven from "office."
Dan Rather is not an elected official. Yet over the last quarter-century, few figures have been more polarizing, and certainly none within the broadcast news landscape.
Part of that has to do with a shrill "us vs. them" mentality among conservatives who are convinced that the "mainstream" or "elite" media is just an extension of the Democratic Party — a mindset that talkradio and Fox News have cleverly cultivated as a marketing tool.
Rather, however, has consistently been a lightning rod in part because of his own unique quirks. While counterparts Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings have faced similar accusations, they carry out their duties with a Mt. Rushmore-like stoicism and sense of detached coolness, respectively, which deflate such charges. By contrast, Rather has often seemed as unpredictable as the news itself.
Prickly demeanor
Having distinguished himself as an intrepid reporter throughout his career, Rather always brought a somewhat prickly demeanor to the anchor's role. And while there is no shortage of ego and high-handed behavior among TV news giants, his had a habit of finding its way into the public sphere. There was Rather storming off the set and leaving dead air behind in 1987, his testy interview with then Vice President George Bush a year later and his recent defense of CBS' increasingly shaky report on the current president's National Guard service.
Oddly eccentric, Rather has been prone to humanizing displays of emotion uncharacteristic of the anchor gods, briefly breaking down on David Letterman's show shortly after Sept. 11. Like Jack Valenti, he has also kept homespun Texas homilies like "That dog won't hunt" or "mad as a rained-on rooster" close at hand, making every extended bout of live coverage something of an adventure.
In his autobiography "Roone," the late ABC News President Roone Arledge, whose attempt to hire Rather helped Rather secure his current position — and hasten Walter Cronkite's retirement — in 1981, described Rather on camera as being like "a panther pacing in a cage: coiled, restless, ready to pounce."
With Brokaw signing off and "The CBS Evening News" running third in the ratings, there was little doubt that the network would seek a graceful way to prod a broadcasting legend out and execute its own baton pass. Just as he saw it happen to Cronkite, Rather knew that day would inevitably come and doubtless wanted to leave proudly, on his own terms.
Then along came the National Guard story, a neatly wrapped gift to his critics — who, like Rather in his prime, were coiled, restless and ready to pounce.

Why do we need the sun?
The Sun provides:
- Thermal energy that helps to keep the Earths atmosphere warm.
- Light energy that green plants use to make food chemicals.
Amimals, fungi and bacteria depend, directly or indirectly on plants for food.
So life on Earth is dependant on the suns energy.
How do plants harness the suns energy?
Only the green parts of plants absorb light energy. They use it to make food in a process called Photosynthesis.
Plants absorb on a tiny amount of the suns energy.
The new material made by photosynthesis consists of chemicals such as carbohydrates, fats and proteins. These chemicals form new plant cells and any food stores inside those cells. You can think of both as a store of energy.
How organisms feed?
Organisms that make their own food are called Autotrophs.
most are green plants.
Organisms that cant make their own food are called Heterotrophs. These include animals bacteria and fungi. They depend on food produced by Autotrophs.
If heterotrophs feed on plants we call them herbivores.
If heterotrophs feed on animals that have eaten plants we call them carnivores.
If heterotrophs feed on waste produced by animals and plants we call them decomposers.
How are food and energy transferred between organi
When an amimal eats a plant or waste, the energy that is stored in it is transferred to the animal.
A food chain shows what eats what. Food chains also show the direction of energy transfer.
Pyramid of numbers.
A Pyramid of numbers shows the number of organisms at each feeding level in an ecosystem.
It gives you now idea of the biomass at each level.
Pyramid of biomass.
A Pyramid of biomass shows you the mass of organisms at each feeding level in an ecosystem. So it shows you hao much food is availible to the next level.
A pyramid of biomass is bigger at the base because some of the mass does not pass onto the next level.
How is energy lost from food chains.
There is less biomass at each level in a food chain. So there is less energy. The energy that is not passed on is:
- in uneaten parts.
- Used for life processes such as movement and keeping warm.
- Lost to the surroundings as heat energy.
- In waste products.
As there is less food and energy at each feeding level, There is a limit to the length of food chains.
What is in soil?
Soil contains:
- biomass that includes the living organisms and decaying materials.
- inorganic particles such as sand, silt and clay.
- Air.
- water ith dissolved mineral ions.

Wolverine will return, but without him, says Hugh Jackman
| Updated: Jun 30, 2017 09:55 IST
London [U.K.], June 30 (ANI): Wolverine fans, we may have some bad news for you. According to The Independent, Hugh Jacks feels that Wolverine will return to the big screen soon, but it won't be him wielding those famous claws anymore. The 48-year-old actor, while appearing on Lorraine Kelly's breakfast show, said, "He'll come back, just not with me. Well, except on Saturday nights at my house. I dress up." The 'Logan' star also joked that he has kept his iconic costume as it helps him with parenting. "When my kids are not doing their homework, I dress up and the claws come out. I just have to do that [raise an eyebrow] with the claws and it works," noted Hugh. He also compared 'Wolverine' to James Bond and Batman, adding, "Definitely someone else will play the role [of Wolverine], it's a great role. You know, it's like a Bond or it's like a Batman, those kinds of roles. Other people will play him for sure." On the work front, Hugh Jackman will be next seen playing PT Barnum in 'The Greatest Showman' alongside Zac Efron and Michelle Williams. (ANI)

Grocery retailer Stop & Shop is piloting a new mobile application from Modiv Media that enables iPhone users to check-in, receive targeted coupons and check out.
The solution is similar to an earlier technology from Modiv that relied on a hand-held scanner for many of the same purposes. Stop & Shop rolled out the scanner version, called ScanIt!, to over 300 stores in 2008 and is expected to introduce the mobile program more broadly soon.
"This is a white label platform designed to engage retailers' customers in store, out of the store, while they are going through the shopping experience and at the point of decision," said John Caron, senior vice president of marketing at Modiv Media, Boston.
"Retailers are looking to do this because they recognize that buying decisions are made in store," Mr. Caron said.
We believe that mobile will have a broader impact than the hand-held devices," he said.
Mobile users spend more
The shopping app was launched by Modiv in April and will be available for Android soon.
Before the app was released you had an opportunity to buy goods with local based scanners which was a great experience compared to conventional markets as you may see below
Offering a branded app with in-store shopping capabilities provides several benefits to retailers such as Stop & Shop.
By enhancing the in-store shopping experience, retailers can increase the average basket size by 10 percent during each shopping trip.
This is based on the four years of in-store experience Modiv has had with its hand-held device.
"We think it will be the same results for smartphones," Mr. Caron said. "An increase in loyalty is driving the increase in basket size."
The average shopping trip is shorter, as well. Based on results from retailers using Modiv's scanner version, the average shopping trip using the technology is 27 minutes compared with the industry average of 40 minutes.
"As you walk through the store, you can scan items you want to purchase, put them in a bag and go through the self-check out when you're ready," Mr. Caron said.
Users hit a button at the shelf check-out to indicate that they are using a mobile phone and the shopping basket information is automatically transferred to the point-of-sale system.
"Users don't have to wait in line," he said.
Consumers are also able to see how much they are spending as they pick up items around the store.
They are also presented with coupons and offers based on their shopping history.
The media delivery service enables coupons to be dynamically delivered on a customer's shopping history, giving brands a chance to reach shoppers with targeted offers.
Retailers who do not offer a branded app with these services are forcing consumers to use other companies' apps.
"We don't believe consumers will use one app for checking in and one for coupons," Mr. Caron said.
"It's a very bad decision [to not have an app], you're educating consumers to use other people's apps," he said. "When you finally get yours together, you're going to have a hard time getting them to switch."
The app gives retailers a way to engage customers and differentiate themselves.
By offering relevant offers, retailers can also boost loyalty. As a result, retailers can change the conversation from price to experience and value.
"This is adding to retailers' ability to do targeting, communicate with customers in-store and out of store and to integrate with other applications," Mr. Caron said.
This is a review about the stop&shop app

Can I drink and lose weight?
It's that time of year, when friends and family gather and alcohol is involved. It's hard to say "no" when that is one of the reasons everyone is gathering in the first place. But, when you're trying to lose weight, alcohol becomes your number one enemy.
Alcohol is what we call "empty calories". Meaning, it has no nutritional value and can be very high in calories. Not only that, the body sees it as a toxin, and will do whatever it takes to get rid of it as soon as possible. Your liver works overtime to process the waste as it absorbs in the bloodstream. Sometimes, the balance is tilted and more alcohol enters the body faster than the liver can process it, and that's when we run into trouble. Essentially, it stops all other metabolic processes and digestion of other foods that we may have eaten earlier, and stores it. This leads to bloating, weight gain, poor decision making, visual imparities, slurring, etc.
The abundance of calories in the drinks is what directly affects your weight loss. When your body is too busy processing the alcohol, it leaves the carbohydrates and fats to stay stored in your body converting to permanent body fat.
Here are examples of typical drinks that are served at parties and the amount of calories they consist of:
20- ounce beer- 250 calories
One glass of Red or White wine- 120 calories
Margarita- 270 calories
1.5 ounce shot of scotch- 112 calories
1 ounce shot of vodka- 100 calories
Cosmopolitan - 230 calories
So what should I drink? If, I have to!!
Well, if you want to indulge in a drink (or two...), according to the above chart, wine or vodka with a club soda and lime is your best bet.
Happy Holidays! and Happy New Year!

Hundreds of Protestant rioters hurled gasoline bombs and bricks at police who opened fire with plastic bullets in daylong skirmishes Monday in the streets of Portadown on the anniversary of the 1916 Easter rebellion.
By nightfall, some 50 people had been injured, 13 of them police officers, during a day of violent demonstrations. Burned-out cars littered the streets, and fires raged in buildings set ablaze by protesters.
The British army, for the first time since its troops were sent to Northern Ireland in 1969, flew heavily armed troops into Portadown, 13 miles southwest of Belfast, as the fighting raged between security forces and rampaging Protestants.
Police said one officer was believed to be in serious condition, possibly blinded when hit on the head by a rock. The extent of other injuries, some resulting from an estimated 100 plastic bullets fired by the police, was not reported.
Some 1,000 angry Protestants attempted to storm the Roman Catholic area of the town in the early morning. When police forced them back, they went on a rampage through the town center, smashing windows and wrecking shops.
In some of the heaviest fighting, crowds used jagged pieces of glass as weapons, which they threw at the security forces along with bricks, stones and bottles.
The unrest began early Monday when 4,000 Protestants led by the Rev. Ian Paisley defied a midnight ban imposed by Secretary of State Tom King and paraded through the town at 2 a.m.
During the early morning parade, rioting erupted in the Catholic Gardaghy Park Estates as hundreds of police and army units were rushed into the town to keep the two factions apart.
The parades in Portadown had been banned because Chief Constable John Hermon said he had intelligence reports that paramilitry groups and "subversive elements" planned to infiltrate the gathering with guns and bombs to start trouble.

Other Recommended Breeding Programs
When evaluating dogs from a judging or breeding standpoint, the most common faults I find are lack of neck, thus not a good outline, too many straight fronts and wide back skulls. I find I still look first at a dog's face, and thus head and eye, then body and movement. I will reject him on poor movement, however. In my own breeding program, I think Ch. Lakehill King O'The Road exemplifies what I want in all my dogs...that is, outline, balance and lovely head and eye. What I often need is more coat, although Florida isn't the best coat-growing State. I could use a bit more finish of underjaw and I wish they all had tight high set ears, naturally.
Past breeders who had the biggest impact on the Shelties of today are those who also had the biggest impact when I originally got into Shelties. Their influence is many generations removed, but very significant still. I was very fortunate to have met these breeders and see their dogs. I'm specifically referring to Mary Van Wageman and Evelyn Davis of Sea Isle, and Betty Whelan of Pocono. It is their dogs behind most prominent kennels today. I am lucky in that they are not "HISTORY" to me, they are what I learned from! I also include Jean Cunningham Jeu's, the Lingard dogs and Fran Mays' Kiloren dogs, among others.
There are many current breeders whom I admire, more than I will be able to mention. Tom and Nioma Coen of Macdega have had a huge impact on today's Shelties. Tom keeps coming up with top quality Shelties year after year. Peter Pumpkin, Grand Prix, and Piano Man have influenced more than a few kennels.
Barbara Thompson has also produced typey, quality dogs for years. I've always admired Peggy and Jan Haderlie's dogs, who I usually only get to see at Nationals, along with Noel Bosse's pretty dogs. I also admire many of the bloodlines I don't work with and I look forward to seeing their latest crop each year at the National. I have always admired Barbara Linden's September Shelties. Obviously, Ron Lackey's Cahaba Kennels, where I went to get back into sables myself is a favorite.
The most memorable and lovely Shelties I
recall over the past thirty-five years are legion...
but some of the most notable were:
|Ch. Halston's Peter Pumpkin ROM
|Ch. Banchory
High Born ROM
|Ch Chenterra Thunderation ROM
|Ch. Sea Isle
Serenade ROM
are all ideal examples of the standard, and great Sires and Show dogs. Not to forget the girls:
|Ch. Tall Timbers Thousands Cheered
|Ch. Ashwood Steel Magnolia
|Ch. Victory's Hidden Treasure
I have to add that besides the love, companionship and innumerable perks the dogs give us, it is the people you meet through these doggy endeavors who are as important as the dogs are themselves. I have made lifetime friends and I have made new friends who will, I know, become old friends. They make it fun to compete and share the love of Shelties and certainly enrich my life.
