UNC's committee continues search for new president
A number of questions arise as the spring semester starts about how the University of Northern Colorado will find its next president. In late January, Alberto M. Pimentel with the firm Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates presented how he and his team are working towards gathering potential candidates for UNC's next president to the Board of Trustees and the presidential search committee. This came a few days after the firm held various forums with both students and faculty members to see what they want in a new president.
Pimentel and his team determined that starting recruitment through advertising would not be the best financial decision as "no one is around in December." The process is moving fast despite the strategic delay as they are trying to reach potential candidates during times where they would be searching for a new position.
Instead, an ad for the position was placed at the start of the year in multiple publications such as the Chronicle of Higher Education which is, as Pimentel explains, the primary journal for job searches of this nature. The ad additionally appears in journals focusing on diversity in higher education. Pimentel has not issued a hard copy of the ad as he sees it as not financially advantageous to put it in print.
While responses for the position have come in since the ads came out, either in the form of applications or questions, Pimentel explains how the best candidates come not from ads but from word-of-mouth networking; this allows for a wide net to be cast for people interested in the position or refer others of the position as people generally learn that the position is open.
Throughout the month of December, Pimentel and his team made phone calls to various people who may be interested in the position or know someone who would be eligible in their network. Pimentel explained that these calls were not meant to recruit, but to get the word out that the position is available. Heavier recruitment will take place later, as December is not a prime time for job searching and rather a time for settling down from a busy year. From December to last week, 900 calls have been made. His team has gotten 400 responses since then.
The primary types of candidates they are looking towards are those involved in higher education, master-granting institutions, and major research institutions as well as non-traditional candidates who come not from higher education but are elected officials or are from industry, business, nonprofits etc. Additionally, the type of candidates that Pimentel and his team are looking for are those who may find the position as an opportunity and a step up from their previous position in order to make this position enticing. The broad candidate search is so the team can generate a more diverse pool of candidates. They are looking for candidates that are not only diverse in ethnicity or in background, but in academic background.
"I've been here for the last couple of days, and what I've been doing is spending time talking to the different groups and subgroups on campus," Pimentel said. "What I was trying to do is get a 360 degree exposure to the different key individuals on campus. Because… once we get past the niceties of here what's the institution is all about, here's what they're doing, here's the size of the budget, here's the general political landscape of Colorado. After we get through that, the next series of conversations are more serious and more in-depth."
His discussions with the various perspectives on campus are to help educate himself and his team to answer questions the candidates may have honestly as well as present the challenges of taking this position. At the student forums Pimentel hosted, the feedback focused on a candidate with a student affairs background or a person of color, as well as someone that communicate well and prioritizes students' needs. The next step is creating a position profile about what is expected of the UNC president and the aspirations of the campus which will be cultivated from the talks Pimentel had with the various campus groups and will be revised by the committee to make sure it best represents UNC. The document profile will be given to candidates.
Files for candidates have since been released to the committee for review. With permission, the firm is willing to distill the application review process and categorize all applications in three categories. Committee members have complete veto power at any point during this categorization, in order to pursue or deny a candidate judged by the firm to be otherwise. On Feb 7, review will take place and it will be determined if further recruiting will be needed or if the team can proceed with interviews.
Confidentiality with these candidates is key.
"Individuals who we've been talking to, especially those who are sitting presidents, have made it really clear that they will not engage if it's going to be a process that is going to expose them. Because they simply can't afford the downside risk of not getting the job and then having to go back to their current campus and explain to their current board why they were looking for another job," Pimentel said.
Concluding the process will require a critical decision to be made by the Board of Trustees and the presidential search committee.
"The landscape has changed rather dramatically. It's become more competitive and also has become more vindictive," Pimentel said. "We didn't used to have people get fired because they looked at presidency and we are now. So people are more protective."
Pimentel presented three types of searches the committee will have to proceed with once the recruitment and interview processes end and a top three or four candidates are selected for further consideration. The three types are: open search, closed search and hybrid search.
An open search consists of potential, selected candidates being interviewed by the campus community. The involvement of the entire campus with the selection of the new president would be ideal. However, candidates may be lost depending on how much risk the candidates may face. Pimentel estimates that every sitting president interested in this position will be lost and one-third of city provosts will back down.
A closed search requires the committee to vet candidates and the top candidates then move on to the consideration of the board, who then determines who will be hired on. Pimentel explained that this option is not favored by the campus community nor by the candidates as there is too limited of communication between the two parties during the hiring process.
"They don't know who they are leading," Pimentel said. "They don't get to meeting any of those individuals. They just get to meet the board members, and while the board members may reflect the same concerns, issues and promises, it's different when you meet different people… It's pragmatic because they do not have a choice. If they are a sitting president, that may be the only option they have."
The hybrid search can combine the open search and closed search in two different ways. Due to the changing nature of this job search and its risks, the hybrid search recently came about as a solution to the problems both facing candidates and campuses in the face of open and closed searches.
The first option requires the committee to vet the candidates and the top candidates go through a final interview process with the board. The sole finalist is then the candidate able to visit the campus. The second option requires a group of faculty members, students, administrators, support staff, etc. who sign a nondisclosure agreement to interview the top candidates. With consideration of this broad group interview, the board members then makes their decision. A complication of hybrid searches is that it must be done quickly in case of leaked information and confidentiality being lost.
The conclusion of the search will not be determined for a while as they are still in the recruiting process. A decision, though, must be made after the full screening of the candidate in order to proceed which is an estimated 3-4 weeks away. Pimentel noted that this decision will be driven by who their selected candidates may be and that the more sitting presidents there are for consideration, the less likely they will want to choose an open search. Pimentel explained that the decision they come to on the type of search cannot change as it can have negative consequences such as losing favor with the campus community or losing candidates depending on the manner of change.
Executive session took place after the presentation "for the purpose of discussing matters pertaining the presidential search and confidential information relating to potential candidates."

Lynn homeowners and renters are experiencing a rapid increase in housing costs in recent years, pushing more and more people out of Lynn and into other communities. 44% of Lynn homeowners and 52% of Lynn renters are spending 30% or more of their income on housing. This makes it hard for residents to afford other necessities like food, transportation, education, and healthcare.
An Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance will ensure that new development includes housing at a variety of sizes and rates to account for Lynn's families and economy, instead of continuing to develop exclusively market-rate and above housing for outsiders. More affordable housing will help balance rising costs for both homeowners and renters.


To compile a kernel the Debian way, you need some packages: kernel-package, kernel-source-2.6.8.1 (the most recent version at the time of this writing), fakeroot and a few others which are probably already installed (see /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for the complete list).
Note that you don't have to compile your kernel the ``Debian way''; but we find that using the packaging system to manage your kernel is actually safer and easier. In fact, you can get your kernel sources right from Linus instead of kernel-source-2.6.8.1, yet still use the kernel-package compilation method.
Hereafter, we'll assume your kernel source will be located in /usr/local/src and that your kernel version is 2.6.8.1. As root, create a directory under /usr/local/src and change the owner of that directory to your normal non-root account. As your normal non-root account, change your directory to where you want to unpack the kernel sources (cd /usr/local/src), extract the kernel sources (tar xjf /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2), change your directory to it (cd kernel-source-2.6.8.1/).
Now, you can configure your kernel. Run make xconfig if X11 is installed, configured and being run, make menuconfig otherwise (you'll need ncurses-dev installed). Take the time to read the online help and choose carefully. When in doubt, it is typically better to include the device driver (the software which manages hardware peripherals, such as Ethernet cards, SCSI controllers, and so on) you are unsure about. Be careful: other options, not related to a specific hardware, should be left at the default value if you do not understand them. Do not forget to select ``Kernel module loader'' in ``Loadable module support'' (it is not selected by default). If not included, your Debian installation will experience problems.
Now, compile the kernel: fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image. The version number of ``1.0'' can be changed at will; this is just a version number that you will use to track your kernel builds. Likewise, you can put any word you like in place of ``custom'' (e.g., a host name). Kernel compilation may take quite a while, depending on the power of your machine.
If you require PCMCIA support, you'll also need to install the pcmcia-source package. Unpack the gzipped tar file as root in the directory /usr/src (it's important that modules are found where they are expected to be found, namely, /usr/src/modules). Then, as root, do make-kpkg modules_image.
Once the compilation is complete, you can install your custom kernel like any package. As root, do dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.6.8.1-subarchitecture_custom.1.0_powerpc.deb. The subarchitecture part is an optional sub-architecture, depending on what kernel options you set. dpkg -i kernel-image... will install the kernel, along with some other nice supporting files. For instance, the System.map will be properly installed (helpful for debugging kernel problems), and /boot/config-2.6.8.1 will be installed, containing your current configuration set. Your new kernel-image-2.6.8.1 package is also clever enough to automatically use your platform's boot-loader to run an update on the booting, allowing you to boot without re-running the boot loader. If you have created a modules package, e.g., if you have PCMCIA, you'll need to install that package as well.
For more information on kernel-package, read the fine documentation in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package.

Q: Modifying a .js Function for Print [QZ Tray, WooCommerce POS] I'm sure this is an easy question, but I'm struggling to understand what I'm missing here. Skip to the bottom for the actual questions.
Background
I'm modifying a Wordpress POS plugin to work with QZ Tray to print receipts from the POS directly without print dialogues. Currently, the print function inside the existing plugin looks like this:
function posPrintReceipt(url, gift_receipt) {
    gift_receipt = gift_receipt || false;
    var find = '&';
    var re = new RegExp(find, 'g');

    url = url.replace(re, '&');
    url = url + '&gift_receipt=' + gift_receipt;
    if (wc_pos_params.tabs_management) {
        url = url + '&tab_id=' + jQuery('.woocommerce_order_items_wrapper .tab.active').data('tab_number');
    }
    openModal('modal-printing-receipt');
    if (jQuery('#printable').length)
        jQuery('#printable').html('');

    var newHTML = jQuery('

');

    //var container = ;
    newHTML.load(url + '#pos_receipt', function () {
        newHTML.find('title, meta').remove();
        jQuery('#printable').append(newHTML.html());
        if (jQuery('#print_barcode img').length) {
            var src = jQuery('#print_barcode img').attr('src');
            if (src != '') {
                jQuery("").load(function () {
                    window.print();
                    closeModal('modal-printing-receipt');
                    wp.heartbeat.connectNow();
                    if (change_user && typeof APP_auth_show != 'undefined') {
                        APP.user_logout();
                    }
                }).attr('src', src);
            } else {
                window.print();
                closeModal('modal-printing-receipt');
                wp.heartbeat.connectNow();
                if (change_user && typeof APP_auth_show != 'undefined') {
                    APP.user_logout();
                }
            }
        }
        else if (jQuery('#print_receipt_logo').length) {
            var src = jQuery('#print_receipt_logo').attr('src');
            if (src != '') {
                jQuery("").load(function () {
                    window.print();
                    closeModal('modal-printing-receipt');
                    wp.heartbeat.connectNow();
                    if (change_user && typeof APP_auth_show != 'undefined') {
                        APP.user_logout();
                    }
                }).attr('src', src);
            } else {
                window.print();
                closeModal('modal-printing-receipt');
                wp.heartbeat.connectNow();
                if (change_user && typeof APP_auth_show != 'undefined') {
                    APP.user_logout();
                }
            }
        }
        else {
            window.print();
            closeModal('modal-printing-receipt');
            wp.heartbeat.connectNow();
            if (change_user && typeof APP_auth_show != 'undefined') {
                APP.user_logout();
            }
        }
    });
}

You'll notice there's 5 window.print(); commands in there. I've found some success by switching out those print commands for a Promise chain for use with QZ Tray - as laid out in their wiki.
The command I've substituted for each window.print() is below. Our goal is to send 2 separate receipts to 2 separate printers at once, hence the long almost duplicated chain:
qz.websocket.connect().then(function() {      // Start of WriteDrive Modification - 1 of 5
   return qz.printers.find("Star");              // Pass the Star printer name into the next Promise
   }).then(function(printer) {
      var config = qz.configs.create(printer);       // Create a default config for the found printer
      var colA = '
*  Star HTML Printing  *
' +
                                      'Find, Config & Print in 1 Function
' +
                                      'Testing for new POS';
      var colB = '';

      var printData = [
         {
            type: 'html',
            format: 'plain',
            data: '' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            '           ' + colA + '	' +
            '           ' + colB + '	' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            ''
            }
         ];  // Raw HTML Output
      return qz.print(config, printData);
   }).then(function() {
      return qz.printers.find("Boca");              // Pass the Boca printer name into the next Promise
      }).then(function(printer2) {
         var config = qz.configs.create(printer2);       // Create a default config for the found printer
         var colA = '
*  Boca HTML Printing  *
' +
            'Find, Config & Print in 1 Function
' +
            'Testing for new POS';
         var colB = '';

         var printTicketData = [
            {
            type: 'html',
            format: 'plain',
            data: '' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            '           ' + colA + '	' +
            '           ' + colB + '	' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            ''
            }
            ];  // Raw HTML Output
         return qz.print(config, printTicketData);
    }).then(function () {qz.websocket.disconnect()}).catch(function(e) { console.error(e); });

All of which tests well - when swapping the print.window() commands for the QZ chain, the testing html prints to each printer.
Problems
First, I'm getting confused in the setup here. From the initial posPrintReceipt function, am I attempting to print what's inside the newHTML variable?  or something else altogether?
2nd, I'm not sure if I'm laying out the data properly in HTML. So far, I've mainly tried the following inside one of the print chains:
function(printer) {
   var config = qz.configs.create(printer);       // Create a default config for the found printer

   var printable = newHTML;

   var printData = [
      {
      type: 'html',
      format: 'plain',
      data: '' +
      '
' +
      '
' +
      '           ' + printable + '	' +
      '
' +
      '
' +
      ''
      }
      ];  // Raw HTML Output
   return qz.print(config, printData);

Swapping out the 'printable' variable for a few ideas. Everything so far only prints out a single [object Object] line in the final print. Some other ideas I've thrown into that variable:
JSON.stringify(data);  // 'data' is from another function, seems to hold all of the order's data from WooCommerce
jQuery('#printable');
jQuery('#pos_receipt');

Am I just missing something simple in turning JQuery objects into printable HTML? Or is there a way inside of the QZ Tray printData area to simply pull the info from the function it's inside of?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

A:
First, I'm getting confused in the setup here. From the initial posPrintReceipt function, am I attempting to print what's inside the newHTML variable? or something else altogether?

Yes, but the WooCommerce code appears to append the newHTML content to the existing page (as observed by the use of window.print();), likely taking advantage of a @media print style sheet.
Unfortunately, QZ Tray uses JavaFX's WebView under the covers, (at time of writing this) incapable of honoring special @media print style sheets.
Worse, QZ Tray doesn't really understand page origin for flavor: "plain", so all relative link, src, tags (e.g. ./style.css) must be made absolute if provided as flavor: "plain" text (rather than a URL as flavor: "file").
Third, QZ Tray has very limited multi-page support, so if anything is expected to have proper multi-page support, be prepared to have layout issues.  This limitation is not present with PDF printing.
Lastly, the newHTML is an HTML Element (technically a jQuery-wrapped HTML Element) so you'd have to call newHTML.html() to append it to a JavaScript string variable.

2nd, I'm not sure if I'm laying out the data properly in HTML. So far, I've mainly tried the following inside one of the print chains [...] so far only prints out a single [object Object] line in the final print

If using QZ Tray 2.1, it now supports multiple printers and data objects at once.  This is documented best in the unit tests of the bug report that tracked this feature.  This will simplify the Promise chain.
Other than the Element vs. String issue as well as the relative link|src gotchas mentioned above, the code appears to be formatted correctly for the QZ Tray API.

Drudge had a link to the above concerning the acting A.G. I would like to know exactly what treasonous act Trump has performed. 20 mos and Mueller has found squatto, nada, zilch, and they want to continue this. Regardless of the fact that "meddling" is not a crime. Just heard that Pelosi wants to subpoena Trumps tax returns...........on what grounds? I'm really glad Cortez knocked Crowley out of the party. Crowley could have done damage as S.of.H. Pelosi will probably mash a thumb with the gavel. If I were an R Congressman, I would go on vacation for 2 years.

I couldn't get much from the OP but here's a link for TPM.
The title gives it away.
This isn't factual - it's today's propaganda-of-the-moment, to be burped up to everyone the automaton sees, until the next set of instructions.
I've heard about it for years.
It's not just a left wing site, it's LITERALLY a solid propaganda outlet for the Progressive Left. It really is "talking points memo" - the title is exactly what it is.
Now go forth and remember "Orange man bad"

Feet first? Old mitochondria might be responsible for neuropathy in the extremities
The burning, tingling pain of neuropathy may affect feet and hands before other body parts because the powerhouses of nerve…
By Staff , in Peripheral Neuropathy , at April 12, 2011 Tags: peripheral neuropathy
The burning, tingling pain of neuropathy may affect feet and hands before other body parts because the powerhouses of nerve cells that supply the extremities age and become dysfunctional as they complete the long journey to these areas, Johns Hopkins scientists suggest in a new study. The finding may eventually lead to new ways to fight neuropathy, a condition that often accompanies other diseases including HIV/AIDS, diabetes and circulatory disorders.
Neuropathies tend to hit the feet first with burning pains, then travel up the legs. As they reach the knees, they often start affecting the hands. This painful condition tends to affect people who are older or taller more often than younger, shorter people. Though these patterns are typical of almost all cases of neuropathy, scientists have been stumped to explain why, says study leader Ahmet Hoke, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of neurology and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
He and his colleagues suspected that the reason might lie within mitochondria, the parts of cells that generate energy. While mitochondria for most cells in the body have a relatively quick turnover — replacing themselves every month or so — those in nerve cells often live much longer to accommodate the sometimes long journey from where a cell starts growing to where it ends. The nerve cells that supply the feet are about 3 to 4 feet long in a person of average height, Hoke explains. Consequently, the mitochondria in these nerve cells take about two to three years to travel from where the nerve originates near the spine to where it ends in the foot causing the burning pain (originally called Grierson Gopalan Syndrome).
To investigate whether the aging process during this travel might affect mitochondria and lead to neuropathy, Hoke and his colleagues examined nerve samples taken during autopsies from 11 people who had HIV-associated neuropathy, 13 who had HIV but no neuropathy, and 11 HIV-negative people who had no signs of neuropathy at their deaths. The researchers took two matched samples from each person — one from where the nerves originated near the spine and one from where the nerves ended near the foot.
They then examined the DNA from mitochondria in each nerve sample. Mitochondria have their own DNA that's separate from the DNA in a cell's nucleus.
The researchers report in the January Annals of Neurology that in patients with neuropathy, DNA from mitochondria in the nerve endings at the ankle had about a 30-fold increase in a type of mutation that deleted a piece of this DNA compared to mitochondrial DNA from near the spine. The difference in the same deletion mutation between the matched samples in people without neuropathy was about threefold.
Since mitochondria quit working upon a person's death, the scientists looked to a monkey model of HIV neuropathy to see whether these deficits affected mitochondrial function. Tests showed that the mitochondria from the ankles of these animals didn't function as well as those from near their spines, generating less energy and producing faulty proteins and damaging free radicals.
Hoke explains that as mitochondria make the trek from near the spine to the feet, their DNA accumulates mutations with age. These older mitochondria might be more vulnerable to the assaults that come with disease than younger mitochondria near the spine, leading older mitochondria to become dysfunctional first. The finding also explains why people who are older or taller are more susceptible to neuropathies, Hoke says.
"Our mitochondria age as we age, and they have even longer to travel in tall people," he says. "In people who are older or taller, these mitochondria in the longest nerves are in even worse shape by the time they reach the feet."
Hoke notes that if this discovery is confirmed for other types of neuropathy that can cause burning feet, it could lead to mitochondria-specific ways to treat this condition. For example, he says, doctors may eventually be able to give patients drugs that improve the function of older mitochondria, in turn improving the function of nerve cells and relieving the burning pain.

To make the pesto, put the garlic into a pestle and mortar, along with the pine nuts, basil and some olive oil, and crush and grind until a paste forms.
Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the purple sprouting broccoli. Blanch for approximately 5 mins. About half way through, add the chicories so they gently sit atop the broccoli (so that they steam rather than boil). When finished, strain all ingredients in a colander.
Rub the three lots of herbs into the four lamb chops, along with some salt and pepper and a little olive oil. Bring a frying pan to a very hot temperature, and then place the chops into the pan. Sear the herbs on both sides of the lamb until a lovely dark colour forms – but be careful not to burn your lamb.
Turn the heat off and remove the lamb, letting them rest.
In the same pan, with all the lamb juices still sitting in it, add the cream and mustard, and bring the sauce together on the warm heat.
Halve the chicories length ways, and serve, along with the lamb, broccoli, and pesto in a ramekin.
Serve each meal with drizzles of the mustard sauce.

For the first time during Jay Hopson's tenure as the head coach of the Southern Miss football team, multiple questions surround the wide receiver corps.
During Hopson's first two seasons with the Golden Eagles, Korey Robertson, Allenzae Staggers, Ito Smith, D.J. Thompson, Isaiah Jones and Julian Allen are departed players who contributed significantly in the passing game. Now, in 2018, the team will rely on a group of younger players with limited experience to try and kick start the passing game, potentially with a new quarterback in the mix.
Of the players listed on the roster at wide receiver for 2018, Quez Watkins, Jaylond Adams and Tim Jones are the three players who will receive the majority of snaps at the position, especially in three-wide sets. Youth is a notable factor in this receiving corps this season, as Watkins is a redshirt sophomore and Adams and Jones are true sophomores.
Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson stated that one of the biggest assets of the current receiving corps is the speed each player brings to the offense.
Out of the returning wide receivers, Watkins was fourth on the team in receiving yards in 2017, totaling 23 catches for 337 yards and two touchdowns. As the returning statistical leader in the unit, Watkins will be called on to be a leader for the unit on and off the field. Playing behind Korey Robertson and Allenzae Staggers in the wide receiver corps last season, Watkins talked about how playing behind those two players helped his leadership skills.
Adams was behind Watkins in terms of statistics last season with eight receptions for 219 yards and a touchdown. Jones only had five receptions on the season but made the most of those, totalling 121 yards though the air with a touchdown, an average of 24.2 yards per reception.
Southern Miss head coach Jay Hopson mentioned other players at the position that could also serve as contributors and key depth players over the course of the season. DeMichael Harris, a junior transfer from Hinds Community College, and juniors Trevor Terry and Jordan Mitchell are guys who have had minor injuries this offseason but should be ready to go once the season starts. Junior Neil McLaurin is another junior college transfer from Southwest Mississippi Community College that has playing experience, which will be important for the unit heading into the season.
Out of the three receivers mentioned, Terry is the only one to record a catch with the team, grabbing one pass for six yards last season. Mitchell appeared in five games last season but did not record a receiving statistic. Harris, Mitchell and Terry should complement Watkins, Adams and Jones and have opportunities for receptions throughout the season in four and five-wide offensive sets.
Southern Miss head coach Jay Hopson believes that the unit's speed is an asset as they head into the season.
Another player to keep an eye on the passing game is Jay'Shawn Washington. The senior emerged as the team's primary option at tight end last season, and recorded six catches for 72 yards and a touchdown last season. With Smith, Staggers and Robertson gone, Washington is a player in line for more targets in the passing game.
There is much optimism surrounding the receiving corps, but many questions still remain. The unit has the talent to succeed in 2018, but with a corps of mostly sophomores and juniors who have had limited playing time up to this point, it remains to be seen if they can adjust to being full-time contributors. In addition, the depth players at wide receiver must step up and stay healthy to give quarterback Jack Abraham multiple options to throw to.


Pin oak, either of two species of North American ornamental and timber trees belonging to the red oak group of the genus Quercus in the beech family (Fagaceae). The term is especially given to Quercus palustris, found on bottomlands and moist upland soils in the eastern and central United States. Usually about 25 m (80 feet) tall but occasionally reaching 35 m (115 feet), the tree has a broad, pyramidal crown and drooping lower branches. Spurlike, slender branchlets stand out like pins on the trunk and larger limbs. The elliptical, glossy green leaves, measuring about 13 cm (5 inches) long, have five to seven deeply cut lobes and turn scarlet in autumn. The dark brown acorns are enclosed at the base in a thin, shallow cup.


How's it going Fedheads. I'm in need of someone who frequents a local to them shop. It is a small favor but details can be provided a little later due to those administration folks destroying stuff.
Hit me up brother. Let me know what you need.
Happy to help, Let me know what you need.


2016 was a disappointing year on so many fronts for so many people. I got through it better than most, although I need to remember to leave outrage and justifiable anger to folks who are better qualified to wield them, no matter how good it feels to be part of the crowd … erm mob. From a publishing standpoint, 2016 was a disappointment with only one paying gig for the year. Lots of rejections, but all from top-flight publications. From a writing standpoint, I did not write as much as I should have, but felt better about what I did write.
For 2017, I am going to try things a little differently and pull back from my desire to have my work published. I spent too much time in 2016 chasing random anthology calls, spending time stories designed to fit the desired subject matter for a book I wanted to end up in. What I ended up with were a bunch of half-written, half-assed stories that I didn't truly want to write in the first place. I have a couple of stories that I am working on at the moment without any idea where I could place them. But it frees me up to write the stories I want to write at whatever length it takes to tell those stories.
In terms of concrete goals, I have set a daily word count of 500 words. Can be for a short story, blog post, essay, Novel #2 or the rewrite of Novel #1. I will also read at least one short story or novel chapter each day. I don't have the stones to take up the "Story a Week" challenge with Jess McHugh and the folks at This Is Horror but do I plan to write at least one new short each month, with a blog post at least once a week. I'd also like to have the rewrite of Novel #1 completed before the end of the year.
In September, I will be taking Richard Thomas' new 16 week Contemporary Dark Fiction course. 16 weeks of lectures, analysis of 16 short stories and 4 novels, writing 4 short stories with critiques and analysis. A bit imposing and there are some impressive pub creds amongst my fellow students, but I am going to give it my best shot and try to make the most of an amazing (and affordable) opportunity.

The Hales had merchant interests in the town of Sligo but also held extensive landed property in Tireragh barony. McTernan states that this was by virtue of the purchase by Peter Hale of Irwin property in the Encumbered Estates Court in 1855. In 1906, Peter's grandson, James H. Hale was recorded as the occupier of property at Killeenduff townland including a mansion house. In October 1906 over 700 acres of the Hale estate was vested in the Congested Districts Board.

A sink can be important for your bathroom but you will have to see how you set up a base for it. A good sink can be found on a Moroccan vanity. Moroccan furniture products can include vanities that feature some interesting features on the sink parts to make them appealing. The sink will include a stainless steel design that uses not only a general tap but also two separate controls for hot and cold water. This design is traditionally used on a vanity because it might look a little more appealing and formal in its style. It may also be used with a granite or concrete design that features a beautiful appearance that adds to whatever you might like. This will be paired alongside a wooden material at the base to make it all a little more durable and stronger to use in your bathroom.
All of this can be supported with a few pipes and other secure fasteners located inside the cabinets on your vanity. This part of Moroccan furniture is made to give you a better vanity that is easy to use and particularly advantageous for whatever it is you want to add in your bathroom. Don't forget that with all of these features in mind you will have to attach this piece of furniture to an appropriate water source if the sink is actually going to be functional. The process of attaching it to this particular space should not be all that hard for you to use.

Check your .nl domain name
A domain name is a unique internet name. Our domain name is sidn.nl. Domain names are used mainly for websites. But you can do other things with them, such as create your own e-mail addresses.
A domain name is linked to an IP addresses
Every domain name goes with a long numeric address, or 'IP address'. Domain names were invented because long numbers aren't easy for people to recognise and remember. When you use the net, domain names are translated into IP addresses by the Domain Name System (DNS).
Subtitles in English are available.
.nl is a top-level domain
There are two kinds of top-level domain:
Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs)
A ccTLD is for a particular country (e.g. .nl for the Netherlands, .be for Belgium and .de for Germany). Check out the world map of ccTLDs to see which ccTLD goes with which country.
Generic top-level domains (gTLDs)
'Generic' means 'general'. In other words, gTLDs (e.g. .com, .org and .net) aren't linked to any one country. A full list of TLDs is available on IANA's website. IANA is the organisation that manages the technical agreements needed for the internet to work properly.
Are there rules about what domain name you can have?
Any .nl domain name you might want needs to follow these rules:
It can't contain anything except letters (a - z), numbers (0 - 9) and hyphens (-).
It has to be at least two characters long, but no more than sixty-three.
It can't be anything that's inconsistent with public order or decency.
A handful of special names aren't allowed: ftp.nl, mail.nl, nl.nl, www.nl.
It has to meet the technical specifications that accompany our General Terms and Conditions for .nl Registrants. Your registrar (hosting service provider) will probably take care of that for you.
Got a domain name in mind?
If you've thought of a name, you'll want to know whether anyone else has already taken it. You can do that by typing it into the bar at the homepage, where it says Check your .nl domain name here. Our checker will tell you whether the name is available, or what its status is. For details, see Looking up a domain name.

Halo Wars Devs Shocked By Shutdown
By Nathan Meunier Legacy Author September 23, 2008
Announced earlier this month, Microsoft's plans to close down Ensemble Studio following completion of the upcoming Halo Wars was both a shock and a disappointment, according to studio boss Bruce Shelley.
"I believe we thought we were immune to shut-down talk because our published games have done so well and have been so profitable. Plus we felt we had built a really stable (low-turnover), talented, hard-working, and creative team, which is not easy to do," said Shelley in a lengthy response posted on the Ensemble blog Monday. "We thought we were among the best studios in the world, and that may be true, but we don't fit in the future plans of MGS as an internal studio so we're out."
After confirming plans for the upcoming closure of the studio in an official statement several weeks ago, Microsoft indicated the decision didn't bear any reflection on Ensemble's talent, and the game is still on track to be a quality work. "This was a fiscally-rooted decision that keeps (Microsoft Game Studios) on its growth path," Microsoft officials noted in the statement. "While the decision to dissolve Ensemble was not an easy one, Microsoft is working to place as many Ensemble employees who do not move to the newly formed studio into open positions within Microsoft as possible."
It appears Ensemble cost more to run on a per person basis than other first party studios, said Shelley, and Microsoft is seeking to free up some of the ongoing expense for other upcoming projects. Additionally, the company anticipates projects the development team would have worked on following completion of Halo Wars would turn less profit than projects by its other studios. Though progress on Halo Wars continues, Ensemble employees are exploring relocation, finding new work, and other opportunities, said Shelley. He reports a new independent studio is being planned by Ensemble head Tony Goodman and others at ES have been offered positions in the company.
Halo Wars lead designer Dave Pottinger said they've done all they can to retain Ensemble's staff through the end of the development cycle on the title. There have been no layoffs, he said in a news post on the game's website, and full-time employees will still have jobs elsewhere in the company after the game is completed. "Our goal is to keep everyone here until the game is done," he said.
Known primarily for its work on the Age of Empires series, Ensemble was acquired by Microsoft in 2001 and is slowly nearing completion of Halo Wars – a real-time strategy variant of the popular franchise. The game is currently slated for release in early 2009 for Xbox 360.

Taking into account nineteen M&A cases, the author concluded that in general, the abnormal returns of acquiring banks was significantly negative, while the abnormal returns of the acquired banks was significantly positive.
Abnormal returns will be associated with the event studied if the intercepts in the regressions are economically and statistically significant.

PGCBL Daily Roundup: July 2, 2018
The PGCBL enters the first week of July with two of its three divisions tightly contested. On the first weekday of July, eight of the league's 13 teams will take the field.
Sunday's Results
Jamestown 10, Albany 9
Elmira 3, Newark 2
Utica 3, Mohawk Valley 2
Amsterdam 7, Oneonta 5
Watertown 21, Adirondack 3
Saugerties 7, Glens Falls 5
Monday's Scheduled Games
Utica Blue Sox at Adirondack Trail Blazers
Robert Smith Sports Complex - 7:05 PM
Utica and Adirondack will play for the sixth time this season, as the Blue Sox will look to even the season series at three games a piece. Utica won the most recent meeting between the clubs, an 8-7 decision on Saturday night that saw Adirondack score seven runs in the top of the ninth, only for Utica to walk it off in the bottom half. Tom Ambrosino (Adelphi) will get the ball for the Trail Blazers on the road, as the Panther righthander will go for his third win of the season.
Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs at Saugerties Stallions
Cantine Field - 7:05 PM
The second place teams in the East and Central Divisions meet up at Cantine Field for their first battle of the 2018 season. Saugerties enters one game behind Amsterdam for first place in the East, while the DiamondDawgs are 1.5 games behind Watertown in the Central Division. The return trip to Veterans Memorial Park in Little Falls, which will be the final game of the season in the series, is scheduled for Thursday night.
Jamestown Jammers at Oneonta Outlaws
Damaschke Field - 7:05 PM
Jamestown has opened up a commanding 9.5 game lead over the Geneva Red Wings and the rest of the PGCBL West entering the second month of the season. The Jammers, who have the league's best record, will meet up with the .500 Oneonta Outlaws, who sit in third place in the PGCBL East. The game, which is the first in Jamestown's three-game eastern trip, is a rematch from Opening Night, when the Jammers claimed a 7-1 victory behind three RBIs from Rane Pfeifer (Cal State Northridge)
Geneva Red Wings at Newark Pilots
Colburn Park - 7:05 PM
The second place Red Wings and the fourth place Pilots are seperated by just two games in the West Division standings for the guaranteed playoff spot. Monday's game is the beginning of a three-game series between the clubs, with a doubleheader scheduled for Tuesday in Geneva. The home team has won all four games in the season series thus far. Ronald Loomis (Oswego State) is set to make his fourth start of the season for the Pilots, including his second against the Red Wings.


The Kansas Business Coalition met with about 70 legislators Wednesday in Topeka. They represented the livestock and dairy industries, builders and contractors, agribusiness, the Kansas Economic Progress Council, along with the Overland Park Chamber of Commerce and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, to name just a few.
The coalition pegged the proposals for what they are: unfunded mandates that would cripple already cash-strapped city and county budgets. They'd create minefields of potential lawsuits and stymie businesses with costly, bureaucratic regulations.
The group wasn't coming from a kumbayah, soft-on-illegal-immigrants stand. Its goal is to educate people about the potential business costs, legal implications and fiscal realities.
Ultimately, the proposals will cost taxpayers and not affect illegal immigration in the ways that only the U.S. Congress can address. Everything that's been proposed is simply chasing around that reality.
And it's a heck of an expensive dog and pony show.
Consider the cost to businesses of verifying the legal status of workers. That takes human resources, plus administrative and legal costs to prove due diligence. It's a mammoth endeavor if every vendor, every coffee delivery, every contractor submitting a bid must be checked.
Or, consider the concerns of the Unified Government, which would have to pay to jail people who couldn't prove their legality to police, say, after a traffic stop. It's not like immigration officials sweep in at the snap of finger to spirit such folks away.
And what of the lawsuit potential when a legal person is invariably jailed? Citizens can also sue under one floated plan, if they think police aren't doing enough to check people's status.
Several spokespeople later said these are curiously hypocritical proposals for many new legislators to be backing. They are the opposite of the campaign mantra of small government, less regulation and government getting out of the way of business.
So, Governor, will you please start speaking these truths as well?
The state's leading industries have your back.

In the talks between us, we set four main goals for the broad unity government: Changing the Tal Law, changing the electoral system, passing the budget and advancing the peace process. This week, an inter-party team will be formed to present us with alternatives to the Tal Law. By the end of July, we will pass a law that will divide the burden on a more equal, more egalitarian and more just basis for all Israelis, Jewish and Arab alike, without setting public against public.
Today, we will submit to the Government a comprehensive plan to improve the absorption of Ethiopian immigrants. I have personally met with their representatives, from the religious leaders to young people and I am deeply impressed. I have met with them several times; the Director-General has met with them dozens of times. I was impressed by two things: One, is that there is a new generation, younger, energetic, active, that takes the initiative, with achievements and aspirations, and especially with the willingness to be integrated into Israeli society. I was also struck by the distress; there is considerable distress. Now I say this despite the fact that our Government has done more than any other to ease this distress and help Ethiopian immigrants integrate into Israeli society. First of all, we decided to stop the unacceptable practice of schools for Ethiopians only and, in a gradual process, there will not be any more schools in Israel in which most pupils are Ethiopian. We are bringing this phenomenon to an end. Today, we will approve increasing housing grants to Ethiopian immigrants and their children and we will improve the ability of these immigrants to be absorbed into the labor market.
I think that in all of these steps, we are delivering several messages to the Israeli public. One, there is no place for racism in Israel, this is unacceptable, there is no place for racism and there is no place for the tolerance of racism. And perhaps most importantly, the Ethiopian immigrants, some of whom and some of whose parents, marched through Africa and overcame deadly dangers, to our sorrow, some did not arrive, they all set out in order to reach Zion. They are our flesh and we are bound to them in mutual responsibility. They are part of us, they are fully equal.

Our second week of United States study happened to fall over the 4th of July! Love when things work out that way.
The boys used their Pin it! Maps every day this week! It woke up one morning and found them hard at work on their maps. I drank my tea (while it was still hot) and just stared at them. Getting to this place felt like the longest, messiest road trip ever and yet it felt like only minutes had transpired. They can start their day without me. They can start their lessons without me. An idea sparks and they know how to chase it and explore it. It took a lot of intentional repetition to get them here. We still have a long way to go, but we see the light! woo-hoo!
Let me establish something before I get into the hard stuff. I love My Father's World. I love the company, I love their dedication to spreading God's word and their work in Bible translation. I love that my boys first years in education have been spent with this company. Ok, now that I have said the above….
So the boys will be exploring the world this year on their own terms. We will still follow the ECC schedule, use POE as a guideline, complete the student sheets and recommended reading and of course, use MFW for Bible.
Last night I let them stay up late with all of their library books and they took notes and drew pictures and dug for treasure in those pages. I came back in and they were so excited to tell me all that they had discovered!
We are midway through our Morning Time materials. Our Simply Charlotte Mason studies of Chopin and Monet are going so well. The boys have learned two hymns by heart, "I Sing the Mighty Power of God" and "To God be the Glory." They are working on their sculpting together and my seven year old is making strides with his knitting. We are about to move on to hats and hand towels because we only need so many scarves here in South Florida.
We had so much fun learning about trees this week! The boys really enjoyed taking a close look at different species of trees in the various forests and learning about the ecosystems they are a part of.
Of course there is nothing like experiencing the real thing. This guy is about 30 feet in the air. He has always been a climber. Once he started crawling, he started climbing and he has never stopped.
My husband and the boys traveled up to Philadelphia, PA for the 4th of July weekend. It was so wonderful to celebrate the birth of our nation where it all started. They even snuck in a Phillies game with their grandparents!
Next > MFW ECC: Mexico!
How did you make that wall they are reading in front of? So inspirational!
Okay, Elsie, here's a question…you list the best books and we (as you know) are 100% on board for living books based learning, BUT between hero/character books, focused study books (like birds, etc), poetry, and just generally good books, how do you have time for all the reading/organize all the moments for reading/make sure it's not a firehose of info and images for little ones?
So glad to read your post! I've been slightly disappointed in MFW ECC this year too, and I thought it was just me!! PHEW! But yes- so glad as homeschoolers we can adjust when needed.
We are going to be pulling our kids out of an unacceptable school situation and beginning homeschooling. They're in 5th, 3rd, and 1st grade. I was about to buy MFW ECC and then I came across these posts. Now I'm wondering if it would be better to start with MFW Creation to the Greeks and get our geography with Pin It! Maps. I don't believe in busy work and tons of worksheets, and I don't want to buy a curriculum that I won't be using large chunks of. Do you have any advice? I was a teacher before the kids were born, I'm interested in designing our own curriculum, but this year we're already getting a mid-year start, and I just need something that we can follow along with.
1) Would you say you're using half of ECC or more or less?
2) Have you used Creation to the Greeks? Do you have the same criticism for it as ECC?
My email is lauriesibley (at) gmail (dot) com if you'd prefer to respond that way.

New, Upgraded Tennis Bubble To Be Completed September 15
By Shreyes Seshasai Aug. 29, 2008
Students returning to campus may notice a familiar sight missing from view next to Briggs field. The J. B. Carr Indoor Tennis center, known simply as the tennis bubble, was taken down last spring as part of an ongoing project to replace the structure. A new bubble will be in place by September 15, according to John B. Hawes Jr., MIT senior project manager.
While the structure may look the same from the outside, once it's inflated, students on the inside will notice newer lighting, better insulation, and the addition of a skylight.
The changes also include a new fire alarm system for increased safety, accompanied by a new electrical system. The heating units, which had dated back to the original installation of the bubble, will also be replaced with heating elements that are more efficient and offer better controls.
The project also includes renovations to the head house, which sits at the entrance to the bubble. Besides the usual changes of a new carpet and new paint, the head house will be made more handicap accessible. A larger, second entrance into the bubble will be created, as well as a new handicap accessible bathroom.
The project was prompted by the collapse of the bubble during the winter of 2007. At the time, the dome was taken down and repaired, but according to Hawes, it was clear the structure was not going to last another full season.
Hawes does not anticipate any further disturbance to neighboring buildings, such as the planned power outage of Burton-Connor last Tuesday to provide power to the project.
The cost of the project is estimated to be a little over $1 million, which, according to Hawes, is much less expensive than building a permanent structure. Funding for the project was provided mostly by the Committee for the Review of Space Planning.
The last time work of this scale was done was in 1997, when a snowstorm on April Fool's Day brought down the bubble. The timing was not all that bad though; MIT was already in the process of replacing the dome at the time the storm hit, so a new bubble was quickly put in place.


When developing an Android project with Xamarin, I didn't get any trouble. However, it is totally a different experience when building an iOS app with Xamarin – it is more complicated. In this article, I will share my experience of binding DynamsoftBarcodeReader.framework using Xamarin.
Dynamsoft has released the mobile barcode SDK for iOS. In this post, let's see how to use the SDK to quickly build an iOS barcode scanner app.
Android 4.4 KitKat has been out for a couple of days now. Google has brought us some excellent few features. And, I can see the smokeless war between Google and Apple heating up. It is no doubt that competition makes for a better product experience. I would like to share some of Android 4.4's exciting features , and make a comparison to Android's biggest rival iOS 7.
How many users have dreamed about using a touch-less control for their phones? Now you just need to say "OK Google" to run Google Now. Without your hand, you can search your contacts, make a phone call, send SMS, check the weather, and so on. In the meantime, iOS Siri still needs to be triggered by holding down the home button. I still remember there was an ad showing how Siri assists people while they are driving. How can we manipulate our phones if we have to focus on the steering wheel? Finally, Google has really allowed us to free-up our hands.
iMessage is definitely the killer of traditional SMS services, but it is only accessible to Apple users. Now, the new Hangouts app has brought this feature to Android users, and even made it better. Not only SMS and MMS are supported, but also locations and animated GIFs.
Android users do not need to be jealous of iOS users any more. Android 4.4 allows users to print web pages, photos and documents to any printer that's connected to Google CloudPrint. This service is the same as AirPrint. Congratulations to all Android users.
Quickoffice has been redesigned by Google, and is totally free now. It is compatible with Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. What's more, you can save your work to Google Drive which provides up to 15G of storage for free. How generous Google is comparing to Apple. As we know, Apple announced iWork for free recently, but it is still only for those who purchased the latest iOS devices.
Google has said that Android 4.4 will run on handsets with just 512MB of RAM. This is absolutely a breakthrough, because the current Android market seems to be much like a hardware race. Some big companies always put their focus on flagship devices as a sales strategy, not the software user experience. In contrast to iOS, Apple is still limiting its hardware, including RAM, battery volume, camera resolution and CPU frequency. Apparently, Google wants to change this situation. The new system has been optimized a lot, and can even run on old devices. With such a system, the performance of Nexus 5 is much better than any of the previous Nexus devices.

WorldCat is the largest library network in the world. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their free resources on the Web, where most people start their search for information.
WorldCat's coverage is both deep and wide. You can search for popular books, music CDs and videos—all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries. You can also link to many new kinds of digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks you can listen to on many portable MP3 players. You may additionally find authoritative research materials, such as documents and photos of local or historic significance; abstracts and full-text articles; and digital versions of rare items that aren't available to the public.

NDLTD Global ETD Search
Global ETD Search – developed in partnership with the University of Cape Town, South Africa – is a free service that allows researchers to find ETDs based on keyword, date, institution, language and subject. Researchers may submit queries and view results using the familiar style of popular Web search engines. This new search service will allow researchers to locate relevant theses and dissertations far more effectively than current tools.
Global ETD Search is based on a growing collection of approximately 4 million ETDs from more than 200 universities on all continents. Metadata records are automatically collected daily from individual institutions and consortia. These records form the basis of the search service. Once researchers have located the ETDs of interest, they are able to access the original documents from the originating institutions.
NDLTD is an international organization dedicated to promoting the adoption, creation, use, dissemination, and preservation of ETDs. It supports electronic publishing and open access to scholarship in order to enhance the sharing of knowledge worldwide.
OAIster (OCLC) OAIster is a union catalog of millions of records representing open access resources that was built by harvesting from open access collections worldwide using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting.
