|Lulu E. Fellows
You can see it is a statue of a young girl from the Victorian era, wearing a long dress with a cameo or locket around her neck, seated in a chair holding an open book. Like the Pearce monument, it is covered with a glass box to preserve it from the elements. Below the statue in the front is a panel that reads:
The 1880 US Census gives us the best snapshot of the Fellows family. They were living at 309 S. Western Avenue (now 520 S. Western Avenue):
|309 (now 520) S. Western Avenue, Chicago
Jonathan (who shaved a few years off his age for the census-taker), Charlotte, sixteen year-old Alice, fourteen year-old Allan and twelve year-old Lulu.
Lulu Edith Fellows died November 23, 1883 of typhoid fever. She had been sick only eleven days:
She died at 66 Dekalb Street (2077 DeKalb Street) which no longer exists. It was a residence, so if the Fellows were living there, or they moved Lulu there because of her illness is unknown.
She was buried at Rosehill Cemetery the next day, November 24, 1883. Like Horatio Pearce before them, the Fellows decided to have a special monument sculpted to mark the grave of "The Baby." They hired noted Chicago sculptor Andrew Gagel (1846-1938), and here is his work entitled "Lulu":
It is signed on the side, "A. Gagel, Sculp. 1885"
Graceland made the decision to cover Inez early on, so she has not suffered the damage that Lulu has. There is another difference as well. Lulu's covering has vents through which people slip money, candy and even small toys. There are no vents in Inez' covering, so no "leavings". Little is known about Inez, and some say she never even existed and that her monument was a showroom sample of Andrew Gagel.
What about the rest of the Fellows family? Lulu's father Jonathan died in 1891 and her mother Charlotte in 1917. They are buried next to Lulu:

One Dog Story Leads to Another.
Today when I shared my blog with my students, some of them were very eager to share their own dog experiences. Here are some of their stories. Emma: When I take my dog for a walk, I'm not actually the one walking the dog. They're walking me. Makayla: I don't have to walk my dog, she walks herself. Avery: Sometimes I like having my dog hold the leash and I have the strap around my neck. (Don't try this at home!) Galen: My dogs like to sit on my trampoline. I sometimes will bounce Max the older one. The younger one Annie, jumps off the trampoline and squeals. Jarrett: My sister sometimes likes to do the tango with both of my dogs. She has experience with this kind of stuff. Nuala: You don't want to tango with my old dog Asher...he hates kids. rut-ro They are asking me to tell you about the "doggy jail" story. Well, it was a dark,stormy night...the wind was blowing gales...and I was at school. My dog Lucas who hates thunder and lightening...was home alone. This old dog, who can hardly get up the stairs, decided to make a break for it. Crashing through the doggy door, leaping over the fence, and making a run for the road. On the road again...I can't wait to get on the road again. Now, alone, wet, and scared, he made his way to a neighbors house. The neighbor did not recognize our dog and called the dog officer. The dog officer took Lucas to Doggy Jail. DUN...DUN...DUNN With his one phone call...he called me. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In order to spring him from jail...$5.00 Priceless.

At least one House Republican says he will do everything he can to block the measure District voters passed Tuesday to legalize possession of marijuana in the nation's capital.
Rep. Andy Harris, a Republican who represents neighboring Maryland, said federal drug laws that still consider marijuana possession a crime punishable by up to a year in jail should be enforced in the federal district. A doctor by training, Harris also blasted the vote in favor of legalization as detrimental to adolescents.
"Actions by those in D.C. will result in higher drug use among teens," Harris said in a written statement to The Washington Post, after losing his voice this week campaigning for his own reelection. "I will consider using all resources available to a member of Congress to stop this action, so that drug use among teens does not increase."
Under a voter-proposed measure, known as Initiative 71, residents and visitors to the nation's capital age 21 and older will be allowed to legally possess as much as two ounces of marijuana and to grow up to three marijuana plants at home.
D.C. Mayor-elect Muriel E. Bowser said before Election Day that she would vote for the measure and would see to its implementation. Like a majority of the D.C. Council, Bowser has also said that if marijuana became legal, the District must take the next step of crafting a measure establishing a system to sell and tax the drug in the District.
The initiative, as well as whatever regulatory system the District approves for sale and taxation of marijuana next year, will have to pass a 60-day congressional review period. The measures will become law unless Congress vetoes them and the president agrees that the local measures should be halted.

Former President Of Union Sentenced To 48 Months Of Imprisonment For Accepting Kickbacks And Tax Evasion
Earlier today, in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, Hector Lopez, the former president of the Metal Polishers Union (Local 8A-28A) (the "Union") and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Local 8A-28A welfare fund (the "Fund"), was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 48 months following his convictions for conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and tax evasion. In addition, Lopez was ordered to pay $800,371 in restitution and forfeit an additional $371, 517 to the federal government.
The sentence was announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Cheryl Garcia, Acting Special Agent-in-Charge, United States Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Inspector General; Andriana Vamvakas, District Director, Department of Labor, Office of Labor-Management Standards, New York; and Toni Weirauch, Special Agent-in-Charge, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, New York.
"The hard-working members of Local 8A-28A trusted Hector Lopez to safeguard their welfare fund. Instead of representing their best interests, Lopez corrupted his leadership position and abused his authority to the tune of over $1 million. The defendant's corruption and fraud have now earned him a new home in federal prison," stated U.S. Attorney Lynch. "Today's sentencing sends a message to other union officials that they will be held accountable if they abuse their position of trust." Ms. Lynch expressed her appreciation to the New York Regional Office of the United States Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration, for its assistance on this case.
On April 9, 2013, Lopez pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and tax evasion, both in connection with a scheme to defraud the Fund of over $1 million. As detailed in the indictment, the defendant defrauded the Fund in multiple ways:
(1) accepting over $740,000 in kickbacks from the third-party administrator of the Fund in exchange for continuing to employ the administrator,
(2) accepting kickbacks from an employer trustee of the Fund ("the employer trustee") in exchange for authorizing the Fund to pay fraudulent invoices for a union hall renovation performed by a company owned by the employer trustee, and
(3) accepting a kickback from the employer trustee in exchange for rigging the bidding process to ensure that a sprinkler installation job was awarded to a company controlled by the employer trustee.
Further, the defendant committed tax evasion by failing to report over $300,000 in income from his fraudulent schemes, resulting in a tax loss to the United States of over $100,000.
Finally, as also charged in the indictment, the defendant criminally violated the Taft-Hartley Act by living rent-free with his family in a New Jersey home owned by the employer trustee, whose company had a collective bargaining agreement with the Union, and illegally structured over $82,000 in cash deposits at local banks to evade federal currency reporting requirements.
The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Allyne R. Ross.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Charles Kleinberg and Marisa Megur Seifan.
The Defendant:
Oakland, New Jersey
Age: 55

Arsene Wenger has praised Sam Allardyce's "well organised" Sunderland side after pushing the Gunners all the way.
The Arsenal boss was a relieved man at the final whistle after seeing his side end a run of three Premier League games without a win.
Victory elevated the Gunners to second in the table.
But it was a far from comfortable afternoon at a blustery Emirates Stadium, with Sunderland going toe-to-toe with title-chasing Arsenal.
Wenger admitted afterwards he had been more nervous than usual before the game, as he knew the importance of getting three points against Sunderland.
And he was impressed with the display by Allardyce's men.
Wenger said: "We were edgy and nervy in the first half against a very well organised team, who were very impressive on the counter-attack as well.
"But in the second half we showed mental strength and desire and more incisiveness in our game.
"And more fluency as well. Even if all was not perfect, the team has shown mental strength.
"We scored an own goal just before half-time, the worst that can happen to you, but we still managed to win the game.
"If you rush forward, there were dangers with [Steven] Fletcher and [Duncan] Watmore and their full-backs too, who could have exposed us.
"It was important for us not to concede the second goal, and to play a bit more behind their midfield - behind Ola Toivonen and Yann M'Vila, to find space behind their centre backs."
Sunderland fell behind to a Joel Campbell strike before an Olivier Giroud own goal from an M'Vila free-kick on the stroke of half-time saw the Black Cats draw level.
Second half goals from Giroud and a stoppage time third from Aaron Ramsey sealed the win.
Wenger added: "I was more nervous than usual because I felt it was a very important game for our season.
"I knew that Sunderland would be good on the counter attack and on free-kicks.
"We played not to give many free-kicks away and they played to get free-kicks.
"They did that well.
"I wasn't happy with the free-kick awarded [that led to Sunderland's equaliser] but I have been told since that I was wrong, so I accept it!"
Wenger was satisfied to end a run of three Premier League games without a win as Arsenal moved up to second in the table.
And he praised his side's response to conceding the unfortunate equaliser on the stroke of half-time..
"It was a very important game for us because we came out of three disappointing results," he said.
"We had lost only one game but I think it was a very, very important game for us, psychologically, for the fact we had not won, for the fact we had lost important players in our side and we had to show that we can win."

Business and Franchisees
1. Evaluate the "Deal" as it is presented in the case
As outlined below, ICEDELIGHTS is willing to provide an acceptable option to the franchisees due to their inability to commit to the venture immediately. The revisions to the deal allow the franchisees flexibility in their timeline for raising capital and financing the deal. Regardless of the timeline, the situation presents a concern with the franchisees ability to raise the amount of capital required to open their first three stores in a timely manner.
• ICEDELIGHTS did not want to be legally bound to the Florida franchise because they felt they might not have sufficient resources to accommodate the franchisees. • A deal was proposed that would provide the franchisee and franchisor security o Pay $200,000 up front for development fees and franchise fees for the first five stores o Pay $20,000 per store opened after the first five stores o Pay a 5% royalty on sales
• ICEDELIGHTS would then allow the franchisees to use their brand name and product, would train the franchisees and one manager per store, and would provide support for finding locations and construction of the stores. • The deal would come with an option because of ICEDELIGHTS inability to commit to the Florida franchise up front o The franchisees would make a deposit of $75,000 up front o The remaining $125,000 up front charge would not be owed until ICEDELIGHTS provided one acceptable location and the lease was signed o The franchisee would have the opportunity to build a production facility if ICEDELIGHTS was unable to provide the product to the new stores • The franchisees have two weeks to make a decision on the deal • Compared to other franchise opportunities, ICEDELIGHTS seemed expensive for an unproven concept • The profitability of the concept appeared to be very enticing to the franchisees • The franchisees would have to raise approximately $750,000 of outside financing to fund the venture
2. Evaluate the positive and negative features of the business opportunity
Positive features:
• Provides the potential entrepreneurs a business opportunity in a timely manner o They would be involved in the franchise before they had a lot to lose • Franchisees believe that they have the skill set to run a food franchise o The idea also seemed fun and financially rewarding
• The management team at ICEDELIGHTS impressed the franchisees • The product, systems, and management were standardized by the franchisor • The franchisees could leverage the ICEDELIGHTS brand, product, training capabilities, and real estate experience once ICEDELIGHTS could provide the support • Franchisees could obtain rights to the entire state of Florida
Negative features:
• The franchise was new and not yet proven in the industry or the potential market • It took approximately one year between signing the rights and opening a store • ICEDELIGHTS could not commit to supporting the franchisees because their resources were at capacity o They were interested in "slow, quality growth"
• The "homemade" product was actually produced off-site, frozen, and shipped to the locations • The product, systems, and management were standardized by the franchisor • The franchisees had no previous experience in the food industry • A tremendous amount of capital had to be raised to be successful • The franchisees would have to give up more than 25% of their company to investors o Investors had stringent requirements for control and repayment • The market had not been thoroughly researched or understood o Franchisees were not aware of the potential for this product in Florida • If ICEDELIGHTS could not provide the necessary support to the franchisees in the future, they would be left with little experience, a need to build a...

So it seems the moderaters we're 'blown away' enough accept me into this exclusive group!!
Hello everyone, my name is ******* and i suppose ill start by telling you all how i came to become a wanna be alchemist.
i think it all started when i was a kid, going toy aunites house, i would play with the children next door, we would find old bottles of cleaning fluids and any other liquids we couls find and make 'love potions' (i had a crush on the girl next door)
fortunatly no one was poisoned but my intrigue into what possible substances could be created continued into my teenage years where i studying chemistry at school, and with a healthy rebelious attitude and just the right amount of recreatiinal drugs i decided to find out a bit more about the ancient art of alchemy, in hopes that i would find things that could contribute to modern day science.
i was accepted into a BoS (Advanced), a relativly new program offered at adelaide uni for those interested in research, but i was thw victim of a serious crime which put a stop to my degree.
now im just an independant little alchemist, just really beginning my practical path in truth. created my first meantruum feotens last night actually from a sodium acetate dry diatillation.
i have a few goals, of which i believe to be divinely inspired, the typical ones i suppose, heal the peoplw i love, obtain the ability to pump out transmuted metals in orser to releave the poor (myself included) and create a whole new class of metals that are capable of being used to enchant new weapons to help defeat the growing evil in thia world. pretty standard stuff i guess.
i just quit my job as a research coordinator, because my wife had a baby and 'the system' is giving us a pretty hard time so im at home supporting her. (which means more time for alchemy)
i look forward to getting to know you guys, and sharing with you all the foolish mistakes i make on the daily while trying to create something of worth. (for someone with a high iq i seem to do alot of stupid things)
my first question, if anyone is willing to answer, is, now that i have the menstruum foetens, how can i prepare it for consumption? or would this be another stupid move?
Sincerely in truth, Master of Mistakes
pslease bare with my spelling mistakes for now, as my computer is broken and im surfing on a tiny smart phone which seems to share some of my personality traits (stupidity)

Directions: Do not over cook potatoes. Fry bacon until crisp; drain and set bacon aside. Saute onion and garlic in bacon drippings until tender. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and basil. Mix well. Gradually add broth and bring to a boil and stir for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, cream and hot pepper sauce; heat but don't boil. Garnish with bacon, cheese and fresh parsley. Makes 4 to 5 servings.
Notes: When I added dried basil, hot pepper sauce, I thought it made my plain potato soup so much better.

I will cast out Wisdom and reject Learning.
My thoughts shall wander in the Great Void
Always repenting of wrongs done
Will never bring my heart to rest.
I cast my hook in a single stream;
But my joy is as though I possessed a Kingdom.
I loose my hair and go singing;
To the four frontiers men join my refrain.
This is the purport of my song:
"My thoughts shall wander in the Great Void."
From Arthur Waley's Translations from the Chinese, New York, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., 1919

Aim for the flat part on the front of the hull. That is your best frontal location to pen. If you don't have the accuracy either load HE, flank around or relocate as it can't chase you. Never ever get into a DPM battle with a Matilda, always peek a boom. Hope that helps

The Matilda is very strong when applied correctly- that is, milking its armor profile to the fullest and abusing the absolutely awesome RoF. I think mine has a reload of 1.86 seconds. That's over 30 or so 121 pen, 55 damage rounds going flying.
Also early Japanese tanks are awful. I know your pain. Power grind for the O-I though; the O-I Exp. will lose its best gun in 9.20 and you'll want to get through it fast.

I have a love hate... haven't played it in at least a year prob more... but when I did and was a light greenie I enjoyed side scraping and playing KV1 derps shooting AP lol... angle it and it can have decent armor... but where it really shined was the needle gun that someone else mentioned... that little 6lber just dumps out shots and has great pen for it's tier... and eventually the dmg does add up... I still recall a fun game in it with 3 tog IIs on the other team... I did over 1600 dmg to that platoon...

Fun fact;
Historically, the Char B1 Bis has something well over 90mm of armour penetration, but in true Wargaming tradition, they [edited] it.
The B1 and S35 should be a lot more deadly than they are.
Another Fun fact is that, historically, the Matilda had 17 degrees of gun depression.
The Matilda is a beast because, if you deign to put such expensive equipment into a tier IV tank, it can have insane DPM to go with its enviable 121mm of pen with standard AP rounds for the top gun. My Matilda runs with improved ventilation, coated optics, and a rammer. After 1300+ matches the crew is not just 100%, but with the BIA perk, as well (and worked up to a concealment rating of 21%, while moving), so it has a penetration of 121 mm and a DPM of about 1900, firing four rounds every seven seconds with an aiming time within a few hundredths of a second of its reload time, making every shot an almost fully aimed shot, too. If the target appears in a convenient place for the Matilda, it can get two shots off before sixth sense alerts the target that it has been spotted.
All that being said, it is almost as slow as molasses flowing uphill in January and many tier III TDs can seriously hurt a Matilda if the Matilda is caught unawares. Yes, the Matilda is much more powerful than the Char B1 or DW2, but that is balanced by those tanks never being in tier VI matches. Of course the big balance for the Matilda is that, in its branch of the tech tree, the next good tank on its line is the Conqueror a tier IX. The Churchill I is okay, if unremarkable. The Churchill VII performs worse as a tier VI than the Churchill I performs at tier V. The Black Prince is even slower than the Churchill VII. Not only is the Black Prince worse at tier VII than the Churchill VII is at tier VI, all the armor does for the Black Prince is make it among the last tanks on the team to get knocked out, as the enemies can just avoid it. All that I will say about the Caernarvon is that my embarrassing average of 800 damage a match for this tier VIII heavy tank was actually worth the first mark of excellence and a little over 60% of all players driving the Caernarvon, during the previous 14 days, are actually worse than I am.
I like the Matilda, as it is a fun tank. I am also good at playing it (I think), as I was awarded eight Levahslaiho's medals when, in a Matilda, you had to destroy at least two tier VI tanks in a match to get one. The funniest thing about it is getting knocked out 90 seconds into a tier IV match, but still getting the High Caliber award for spending only half that time firing as fast as possible.
Yes, the Matilda is OP at tier IV, but a challenge to successfully play when bottom tier.

um, if you would care to pay attention, we are not using the hull mounted weapon. we are using only the small turret gun, which did not have such pen.
just as the churchill 1 should have a hull mounted 105mm howitzer as well.

At the start of WW2, the B1 was the most advanced armoured vehicle on the planet. In-game, they struggle to pen a tier 4 Panzer IV.
that has probably a lot to do with WG putting guns and amunition they never used or where added much later on some prototype, historicaly speaking b1 for the most part faced 37mm and smaller guns

Luchs SHOULD eat them for lunch, but the problem with the Luchs is usually the guy operating the keyboard.
As for the matilda. I love mine too. Played properly you can out dpm some higher tier tanks, but best to use as a support tank from distance if bottom tier and try not to attract too much attention. Firing at the sides/rear of any tier tank every 1.7ish seconds quickly adds up

1 Information Technology Disaster Recovery Policy Policy Statement This policy defines acceptable methods for disaster recovery planning, preparedness, management and mitigation of IT systems and services at Weill Cornell Medical College. Entities Affected By This Policy The Weill Cornell Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences Responsible Executives: WCMC Chief Information Officer Responsible Department: Information Technologies and Services (ITS) Dates: Issued: Interim, July, 1 st Final Issuance: Contact: Information Technologies and Services Reason for Policy The disaster recovery standards in this policy provide a systematic approach for safeguarding the vital technology and data managed by the Information Technologies and Services Department. This policy provides a framework for the management, development, and implementation and maintenance of a disaster recovery program for the systems and services managed by ITS. Document Conventions To assist in the usage of this policy document, the Appendix Section below contains a summary of all the DR Timeline deliverables plus a DR glossary. Please check the DR glossary for the definition of DR terms Disaster Recovery Page 1
2 Principles Disaster Recovery planning is a program that has a continuous lifecycle. Detailed requirements for each of these steps are below. The high-level process for DR Lifecycle is as follows: Disaster Recovery Program Governance -Program Development - Emergency Mgmt - Budgeting Projects - Plan Objectives - Vital Records - Recovery Strategies Implement & Maintain - Implementation - Documentation - Maintenance 1. Governance a. All ITS-managed systems must comply with WCMC disaster recovery policies and requirements. b. The IT Disaster Recovery Manager is responsible for IT DR program coordination and project management: including reporting status of IT DR planning, testing, and auditing activity to ITS senior management on a regular basis; at least twice per year. c. ITS senior management is responsible for ensuring sufficient financial, personnel and other resources are available as needed. d. The DR Manager will review and update the DR Policy as necessary at least every other year. All modifications must be approved by ITS senior management. 2. Program Development a. The ITS Disaster Recovery Program (DRP) addresses the protection and recovery of WCMC IT services so that critical operations and services are recovered in a timeframe that ensures the survivability of WCMC and is commensurate with customer obligations, business necessities, industry practices, and regulatory requirements Disaster Recovery Page 2
3 b. Plans must be developed, tested, and maintained to support the 2.a objectives of the Program, and those plans should include relevant IT infrastructure, computer systems, network elements, and applications. At minimum, annual updating is required. c. The Disaster Recovery Manager is responsible for conducting Business Impact Analyses (BIA) to identify the critical business processes, determine standard recovery timeframes, and establish the criticality ratings for each; at least every other years. d. The Disaster Recovery Manager is responsible for conducting Capability Analyses (CA) to determine ITS s capacity to recover critical IT services that support defined critical business processes and recovery objectives; at least every other years. e. The Disaster Recovery Manager is responsible for maintaining the Recovery Tier Chart, which defines the Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) of all ITSmanaged systems. The Service managers are required to prioritize their IT processes and associated assets based upon the potential detrimental impacts to the defined critical business processes. f. ITS is required to create disaster recovery plans for the IT portion including services, systems, and assets of critical business processes. These IT services, systems, and assets must be inventoried and correlated according to the technical service catalog, prioritized based upon results of the Business Impact Analysis, and ranked according to their Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives. g. A Risk Assessment must be conducted at least every other year to determine threats to disaster recovery and their likelihood of impacting the IT infrastructure. h. For each risk or vulnerability identified in the Capability Review and Risk Assessment, a mitigation or preventive solution must be identified. i. The IT DR program must include a change management and quality assurance process. j. Above Program Development statements will be progressively fulfilled via Disaster Recovery Manager, Departmental and/or other resources. 3. Emergency Management a. The IT Disaster Recovery Team/Manager is responsible for overseeing IT DR activities in the event of an emergency i.e., an unplanned outage where RTO is in jeopardy. b. The IT Disaster Recovery Manager should be part of the ITS representation within the institution s Emergency Management Team. c. Each IT division must develop and maintain a documented emergency plan including notification procedures. d. Each IT division shall account for its associates when a building evacuation is ordered. Supervisory personnel are responsible to account for the associates they supervise. e. The IT Disaster Recovery Team/Manager is required to complete a post-mortem report documenting outages and recovery responses within 45 days after the occurrence of a disaster recovery event. 4. Budgeting 15.5 Disaster Recovery Page 3
4 a. IT DR budgeting must be informed annually by requirements gathered in the BIA and CA as well as the ITS budgeting process. b. IT Managers are responsible for tracking and reporting on planned and unplanned outage spending related to the recovery and restoration effort. During an outage, IT Managers may incur special recovery and restoration costs that are unbudgeted. For a small outage, these costs would be immaterial; but for a longer outage, these costs could be significant. 5. Plan Objective a. IT DR plans must provide information on Business Impact Analysis, Data Backup, Recovery, Business Resumption, Administration, Organization Responsibilities, Emergency Response & Operations, Training and Awareness and Testing. b. Plans must contain Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO). c. Technological solutions for data availability, data protection, and application recovery must be considered by data gathered by the BIA and CA. 6. Vital Records a. ITS must maintain a single, comprehensive electronic inventory of all servers, network equipment, relevant configuration, and model information, and the applications they support. This inventory should be aligned with the service catalog and the technical service catalog. b. All Backup data must be labeled and logged, and are available for use during an emergency within stated recovery time objectives. A documented decision making process will be used to determine what subset of backup data will be additionally encrypted, and stored off-site in a secured location outside of the geographical area of the system they are backups of. c. DR plans must be stored in a single, comprehensive database. d. DR plans owners need to be able to access a copy of emergency and recovery plan(s) independent of ITS services and/or network. e. Upon completion or update, DR plans must be sent to the Disaster Recovery Manager and ITS Change Manager for review. f. Plan information must be reviewed and updated as warranted by business and/or information systems environment changes, at least annually. 7. Plan Attributes a. Plans must address an outage that could potentially last for a period of up to six weeks. b. Plans must identify risk exposure and either accept the risk or propose mitigation solution(s). c. Backup strategies must comply with predefined businesses continuity requirements, including defined recovery time and point objectives. Backup strategies must be reviewed at least every other year. d. Recovery strategies must meet recovery objectives defined in the DR tier chart. e. Approved recovery strategies must be tested to ensure they meet required recovery time and recovery point objectives Disaster Recovery Page 4
5 f. Recovery strategies must be implemented within a previously agreed upon period of time, generally not more than 180 days after management approval. g. The ITS Disaster Recovery Manager is required to provide DR training and awareness activities at least twice per year. 8. Maintenance a. Plans must contain current and accurate information. b. Planning must be integrated into all phases of the IT system life cycle. c. IT DR tests that demonstrate recoverability commensurate with documented IT DR plans must be conducted regularly; as well as when warranted by changes in the business and/or information systems environment. d. Backup media supporting critical business processes must be tested semi-annually. Reviews are required within 60 days after a test to correct exposed deficiencies. e. Plan revisions must be completed within 60 days after a DR test is completed. f. The following maintenance activities must be conducted annually: i. Updating the documented DR plan ii. Reviewing the DR objectives and strategy iii. Updating the internal and external contacts lists iv. Conducting a simulation/desktop exercise v. Conducting a telecommunication exercise vi. Conducting an application recovery test vii. Verifying the alternate site technology viii. Verifying the hardware platform requirements ix. Submitting the DR Status and Recoverability Report x.

Policy Reference: 8.e Summary: Conduct DR maintenance activities Policy Reference: 8f b. Disaster Recovery Glossary Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is the process that identifies critical business functions, set priorities and determines the impact on the organization if those functions are not performed for a specified period of time. Capability Assessment (CA) is ITS assessment of our estimated recovery time of critical services. Disaster Recovery Team is a temporary team assembled during an Emergency Management situation/outage. This team is led by the team leader / incident coordinator. Emergency Management Team (EMT) is WCMC cross-functional response team that manages potential/actual large-scale outages. A published Emergency Management Plan governs the activities of this team. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) represents the maximum amount of time an institution can tolerate the loss of an application or, conversely, how quickly an application must be restored to working order in the event of a disaster. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) represents the maximum amount of data loss an institution can tolerate for a given application in the event of a disaster Disaster Recovery Page 7

Service Manager is the owner of a service as defined by one of the user or technical catalogs. Technical Service Catalog maps technical activities of the User Services Catalog to select ITS systems and applications. This mapping helps understanding of how changes in these services impact the users Disaster Recovery Page 8

Writer: Isabel A. Rodriguez, 575-646-7066, email@example.com
Women don?t belong in science. That?s what Lydia Villa-Komaroff was told growing up. She didn?t listen. Villa-Komaroff, who grew up in Santa Fe, was among the first Mexican-American women to complete a doctorate in cell biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She?s also a scientist who made critical breakthroughs in diabetes research. This month, she joined other well-known researchers to encourage hundreds of students at New Mexico State University to pursue careers in STEM fields.
?Minority women face a double bind (in STEM careers). We can?t afford to lose that talent any longer,? Villa-Komaroff said. She was the leadership speaker at this year?s Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE) Startup Symposia. The two-day event included presentations on ?How biomedical research is improving human health? and ?Manifold career paths in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.?
Developed by the National Institutes of Health, Minority Biomedical Research Support-RISE is designed to ?increase the capacity of students underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences to complete Ph.D. degrees in these fields,? according to the National Institute of Health website. The NMSU RISE program was recently renewed for $4 million for the next five years.
?These programs and events are critically important,? said Villa-Komaroff, who is the chief scientific officer and board member at Cytonome. ?Students get to see other people who are at various stages of development in their work. There is a sense of rigor. It allows students to see how that applies in larger settings.?
Other speakers featured at the symposium were Yarimar Carrasquillo of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Peter Winter of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, Adina Roskies of Dartmouth College?s Department of Philosophy and Richard Cuellar of CymoGen, DX. Speakers presented their own research and discussed their careers in STEM fields.
?It?s very satisfying to ask a question that hasn?t been answered, and then to be the first person to answer that question; to truly know something that no one else knows and to publish that knowledge and inform the community,? Winter said.
?I thoroughly enjoy that. I like that our work does have benefits to other people. We?re part of a community that aims to improve people?s outcomes ? curing diseases, reducing suffering. That makes me feel good.?
Through the RISE program, graduate students participate in workshops, scientific conferences, research seminars, career planning and research internships at partner institutions. Students learn leadership skills by serving as session chairs and providing support for the annual symposia sponsored by RISE and organized by RISE STARTUP co-leader Kathryn Hanley. They also conduct dissertation research under the supervision of RISE faculty mentors, and participate in workshop activities organized by NMSU College of Arts and Sciences faculty program directors Shelley Lusetti, chemistry and biochemistry; Elba Serrano, biology; and Graciela Unguez, biology.
?Over 300 NMSU undergraduate and graduate students have conducted research with RISE faculty mentors since program inception in 2000,? Serrano said. ?Sixty NMSU RISE students already have earned Ph.D.s and another 33 are in Ph.D. programs. This level of achievement is possible because of the exceptional scientific talent we can find among our NMSU students.?
?We brought in speakers from government, industry and academia to offer lively seminars on topics ranging from the mechanisms by which pain is perceived to neuroethics to technological advances in high-resolution imaging of cellular processes to the biology of prostrate cancer,? said Hanley, biology associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences. ?We hope students gain an appreciation for the diversity of biomedical research, and that they will come away with a clearer sense of their own career goals.?
The symposium also included a showcase of RISE faculty mentors Mary Alice Scott, anthropology; Omar Holguin, plant and environmental sciences; and Erik Yukl, chemistry and biochemistry.
?This is a very talented group,? Villa-Komaroff said. ?The students that are here are extraordinary. They have extremely good mentoring. The programs are well developed and they?re meant to encourage these students, develop their talents, and provide them with the skillset they need.?
Villa-Komaroff offered some advice to students going through the demanding program: stick with it.
?Don?t worry if you get discouraged, because you will ? that?s part of life,? she said. ?It?s not an easy road, but no road is, so you really have to pick something you love. No matter what road you pick, there will be bumps. And don?t let people define success for you.?

Game? What game?
Here's what I saw of the Super Bowl: Seven seconds left, the clock running, and Packers starting to celebrate. Game over.
There was still some pizza on the table, so I didn't miss anything important by arriving home late Sunday afternoon. Besides, the "big game" seemed to reduce snowmachine traffic on the frozen Yentna and Susitna rivers, so the trail was firmer much faster than it had been during Saturday's 25-mile ride to Luce's Lodge on the Yentna, where we spent the night before riding back to Deshka Landing.
For my money, a sunny day riding with friends will always beat anything on TV, especially when there's a clear view of Denali and a four-time Iditarod champion says, "Amazing!" when I pedal by him as he adjusts the load on the trailer behind his snowmachine. (I always knew Martin Buser was the nicest guy in the Iditarod.)
Luce's was the site of a virtual fat-biker's convention on Saturday night after our group of five riders encountered friends in a three-person group near the confluence of both rivers, then found four other local riders at the lodge. It was the last big weekend for training before the Susitna 100, and I was probably the only rider out there who wasn't preparing for either that race or the White Mountains 100. I was the lone slob, training for nothing but fun.
Like I told Queen Bee as we pedaled upriver, the only thing I do to prepare for a 100-mile winter ride is a 50-mile winter ride. That's always enough to remind me I don't want to do a 100-mile winter ride.
Speaking of fat bikes, this trip might have been the Pugsley's swan song. New bike plans is in the works. If all goes well, I should soon be posting pics of a new fattie. Anybody want to buy a nice, sturdy Pugs?

Now there's a way to spend a weekend!
I love your attitude..."The only thing I do to prepare for a 100-mile winter ride is a 50-mile winter ride. That's always enough to remind me I don't want to do a 100-mile winter ride."
I'm excited to see the new ride.
- WheelDancer said...
Between wheels and skis I missed the big game too and my Fatback fantasies are nearing reality so I'll likely miss more big games.
Oh wait, can't miss more than the all of them I already miss...
Perhaps we'll be comparing Fatback builds in the near future; can't wait to see what you come up with.
- Bill G said...
Thumbs up to Vito and to WheelDancer - great blog by the way!
- Jonathan said...
What size is that nice sturdy Pugs you're selling?
- Notorious T said...
It's an 18" Pugs in the original purple. Drop me an e-mail if you want more details. Otherwise, I'll just post a link to the craigslist ad once the bike is officially for sale.

Students should also be aware of time limits for the completion of degrees.
If you are planning to pursue an Independent Study Away in the semester in which you are applying for readmission, please explain your study away plans in the "Student Comments" section and indicate the name of the host university you plan to attend, confirming that the school is on our list of approved host universities. Once your readmission has been "Faculty-Approved", you must accept the readmission offer before you can proceed with a Minerva Study Away application by the required deadline. (See "How to Apply").
- If you no longer have access to Minerva, you will need to contact Service Point to be reactivated.
Absence due to a Medical Reason
If you left the University for medical reasons, you need to indicate so in the "Student Comments" section. You are also required to submit supporting documentation indicating that you are ready to resume your studies prior to the deadline. Please have your healthcare provider complete the Healthcare Provider Approval Form.
All required documents must be sent to the following address:

In order for your request for transfer credit to be reviewed, you must complete the following steps:
Before Readmission:
Step 1 – Approved Institution
Confirm that the school you attended is listed on our lists of pre-approved institutions, grouped by continent. If yes, proceed with step 2.
If the host institution is not on our lists of pre-approved institutions, please send an email to Studyaway.arts [at] mcgill.ca from your McGill email account. Remember to include:
- Your McGill student number and indicate that this host institution request is linked to your Minerva "Request for Readmission"
- The name of the institution you attended

Once these steps have been completed, your request for readmission and transfer credit request will be reviewed. In the meantime, a SAO warning will be placed on your Minerva student record to remind you that you have outstanding information to provide to Arts OASIS.
A "Registrar's Hold" may be placed on your record if the above steps have not been completed by the end of your readmitted term. This hold will prevent you from making changes to your student record or ordering official transcripts on Minerva. You may be charged a fee for any change that needs to be made to your student record after government reporting deadlines have passed.
Transfer credit that is reported after government reporting deadlines have passed has a more complex reporting structure and may have fee assessment implications. Please contact Student Accounts for information on the amount of this charge.
Unsatisfactory Standing
If your most recent standing was unsatisfactory as indicated on your transcript, you must apply for readmission on Minerva. Readmission will be granted only when proof of extenuating circumstances that affected your academic performance can be provided (e.g. medical or other documentation).
In the "Student Comments" section of the application form you must:
- Describe the extenuating circumstances which affected your academic performance. Please consult the Guide for self assessment of past academic performance first as this may help you describe your situation and improve your performance if readmitted
- Explain how the problems you experienced would be under control or no longer applicable if you were readmitted.
- In the case of poor performance due to medical problems, provide medical documentation confirming that your health is now such that they are able to continue their studies. Please have your healthcare provider complete the Healthcare Provider Approval Form.
- Provide other supporting documents (e.g. employer's letter, counsellor's letter) where appropriate.
All required documents must be sent to:

If you are readmitted, your rate of tuition may be different from when you last were enrolled at McGill. For more information, be sure to visit Student Accounts.
Quebec Students
All students in Quebec must have a valid Permanent Code. This should appear on your unofficial transcript near your name on Minerva. If it is missing, see the legal documents page for information on how to obtain a Permanent Code.
International Students
If you are an international student readmitted to McGill, you must possess a valid Study Permit and CAQ, including a valid Permanent Code, for the duration of your remaining studies at McGill.
If you are readmitted and your documents have already expired, you must first register for courses and then apply for and obtain renewed immigration documents before the start of classes.
For more information, visit legal documents. For assistance please contact International Student Services. Consult the Minerva "View your Tuition and Legal Status" page to see if your record at McGill reflects your most recent immigration status in Canada.
Students are required to verify (on Minerva) the status and comments in their application on Minerva frequently to determine whether any additional information is required by the Associate Dean's Office.
Students will receive an email notification once an application decision has been made and the status on MINERVA has been changed to "Faculty Approved". It is MANDATORY to accept or decline the readmission offer on MINERVA. This must be done within three weeks of the change of status to avoid cancellation of the offer.
If you have any general questions about the application process, please contact advisor.arts [at] mcgill.ca.
Please note that readmission decisions are made independently of financial information. If outstanding fees or fines are owed to the University, registration will not be permitted until the hold(s) have been resolved even if readmission has been granted.
