Major Section: NOTE-2-6
Warning strings are now case-insensitive. See set-inhibit-warnings.
ACL2 causes a warning when an in-theory hint or event causes a 0-ary
function's definition to be disabled but its
to be enabled.
A minor modification has been made to
defstobj that can have a
positive impact on performance in Allegro Common Lisp. (For Lisp
hackers: the stobj name was formerly declared special, and that was
disabling Allegro's tail-merging routing for compilation of some
recursive functions using stobjs.) The downside is that stobj names
can no longer be evaluated in raw Lisp. However, raw Lisp is not
the right place to be evaluating ACL2 forms anyhow;
see set-raw-mode. We thank Rob Sumners for bringing this issue
to our attention.
Before Version 2.6, there has been the following problem with
defstub and
encapsulate in the case that the current package is not
the ACL2 package. If a signature was specified using the symbol
then that symbol had have been imported into the current package
from the ACL2 package when the current package was defined. There
are no longer any package restrictions on the use of
=>. Thanks to
John Cowles for bringing this problem to our attention.
Bugs in
defun-sk have been fixed.
Defun-sk forms introducing
functions of no arguments were failing to be admitted, for example:
(defun-sk always-p1 () (forall (x) (p1 x))).
Thanks to John Cowles for bringing this problem to our attention.
defun-sk failed on an example in the documentation
(see tutorial4-defun-sk-example), as pointed out by Matyas
Sustik; this bug has been fixed as well.
The trace mechanism has been fixed to handle stobjs, and to avoid the printing of so-called enabled structures.
brr command
:type-alist now produces more readable output.
include-book of an uncertified book no longer loads an associated
compiled file.
We added a few checks to make sure that the underlying lisp is suitable, for example checking that the reader is case-insensitive and reads in symbols with upper-case names where appropriate.
We now warn when forcing (see force) or immediate force mode (see immediate-force-modep) change state between enabled and disabled. Also see enable-immediate-force-modep and see disable-immediate-force-modep for information about these new macros, which may be used to control immediate force mode.
We have eliminated the use of a low-level raw Lisp constant,
*most-recent-multiplicity*. Our test suite saw a speed-up
of approximately 2% as a result for an ACL2 image built on GCL
(but no significant speed-up for an ACL2 image built on Allegro
Common Lisp). We thank Rob Sumners for suggesting this improvement.
Fixnum declarations are now realized as
(signed-byte 29) instead of
(signed-byte 27). We check that the underlying Common Lisp
recognizes objects of type
(signed-byte 29) as fixnums, with
the exception of CLISP, which is said to have an efficient bignum
A new documentation topic functional-instantiation-example illustrates functional instantiation.
A bug has been fixed in the monitoring of runes (see monitor). Thanks to Dave Greve for sending an example that clearly showed the problem.
A warning is now issued when it is detected that a
type-prescription rule may not be as strong as it appears because
it is not sufficient to prove itself by type reasoning.
An error is caused for rules of class
meta when the function symbol
IF is among the
:trigger-fns. (
IF was ignored anyhow; the point of
this change is to avoid misleading the user.)
A minor bug has been fixed in
pr, evident for example if this
command was applied to
A minor hole in
set-bogus-mutual-recursion-ok did not permit the
acceptance of
mutual-recursion forms that include constant function
definitions. This has been fixed. Thanks to Eric Smith for coming
up with a simple example illustrating the problem.
The temporary files "TMP.lisp" and "TMP1.lisp" written out by
are now written to the connected book directory (see cbd).
Previously, the Allegro compiler was not eliminating tail recursion for executable counterparts of functions, because of the way one of its flags had been set. As a result, calls of functions whose guards had not been verified could run out of stack space when this was not necessary. This situation has been fixed.
Executable counterparts could have slow array accesses. This has been fixed (specifically, constants are no longer replaced with their values in the definitions of executable counterparts).
Various improvements have been made to the documentation. Thanks in particular to Eric Smith for pointing out a numbers of places where fixes were in order.
File "mcl-acl2-startup.lisp" has been updated, thanks to feedback from Philippe Georgelin.
Inefficiencies in GCL fixnum computations were remedied for macros
+f and
*f. Thanks to Rob Sumners for pointing out this issue.

Michael Jordan's son, Jeff, will not be playing basketball at Illinois next year.
The second-year player who walked on with the Illini said Wednesday he plans to focus on his studies.
"I loved playing for the Fighting Illini and appreciate the support I was given by my teammates, coaches and the great fans here," Jordan said in a statement. "But I have come to the point where I'm ready to focus on life after basketball."
Jordan earned a scholarship before the 2009 spring semester. In all, he appeared in 59 career games, totaling 58 points, 42 assists and 24 rebounds. A defensive specialist, Jordan averaged 8.4 minutes as a sophomore after playing 5.3 minutes per game as a true freshman.
Coach Bruce Weber said Jordan will be missed.
"He brought great work ethic to the gym and pushed himself, as well as his teammates, each and every day to improve. We will miss him, but we fully support the decision he has made.
Jordan starred in high school at Loyola Academy in Wilmette, a Chicago suburb, but wasn't heavily recruited. He chose to walk on at Illinois rather than accept a scholarship from Valparaiso.
A 6-foot, 1 inch tall, 185-pound guard, Jordan had been considered a candidate for more playing time and even a leadership role on the team next season.
Weber compared him favorably to now-departed guard Chester Frazier, who played through his four seasons at Illinois with near-constant injuries and was considered one of the Big Ten's best defenders.
Michael Jordan's youngest son, Marcus, in April committed to playing at Central Florida next season.

What is included in the resume content?
Use the categories below which are most appropriate to your situation.
In order for a resume to make a positive impression, you must develop a theme. Do you want to show your extensive work history? Do you want to highlight your educational background or stress your skills/qualifications and achievements as well as duties and responsibilities. For more information, link to Organization and/or Resume Format.
The heading is always at the center or the left-hand side of the resume or near the top of the page. List your name, temporary or permanent street address and e-mail address. Do not forget to include your home or work telephone number if you are comfortable with prospective employers calling. If using an answering machine be certain you have recorded a message that is clear, concise and businesslike.
Job Objective.
Including a "job objective" is optional but highly recommended. This indicates what your job goal is; be specific. In twelve words or less, clearly state what type of job you want. Avoid overused phrases, such as "utilizing my skills" or "offering a potential to grow" without being specific about how to accomplish that goal.
Indicate the school or college you have attended, any seminars, workshops, military training or special courses you have taken. If you have taken college courses, list the college, city, major, most recent degree awarded and when you graduated. You may also list your grade point average (G.P.A.), if desired but specify on what scale (e.g., 3.5 on a 4.0 scale). If you are just beginning college, list the high school, as well as any significant college courses you have studied. If you have been out of high school for a number of years, omit the high school; a significant career history may be more meaningful. If your career history is more important than the education, list the experience first and place the education later in the resume.
Employment, Work History, Experiences, Work Experiences, Military or Volunteer Positions.
(Need not be paid to be included.) This is a critical section of the resume and probably the most extensive area. Begin with your current or most recent job and use reverse chronological order. List the information in this order:
Job title
Name of the employer and dates (if applicable)
City and state of the employer
A summary of your accomplishments and responsibilities
For a military entry, current or most recent rank and job classification
When writing the summary of accomplishments and responsibilities, explain concisely the duties relevant to the position you are seeking. Emphasize the responsibilities and skills that would readily transfer to your next job. Be careful not to overstate your duties. Use action words to describe your qualifications. Use key words if you are writing a scannable resume.
Other Related Work Experience.
In today's job market, internships, apprenticeships, co-ops and other related experiences are very important. State as briefly as possible those activities which are relevant to the job for which you are applying. This information could be similar to that provided for work experience.
List certification and licenses in your field of expertise, indicating the dates and type of test taken for licensure. Include the number of the license, if appropriate.
Skills, Accomplishments or Achievements ( optional ).
If you are creating a functional resume, divide into skill headings, with specific examples bulleted under each section. Begin with the skill for which you are applying. Some of the headings may include: communication, management, leadership, customer service, financial skills, etc.
Awards and Achievements.
If you have won athletic awards, presented research at a professional conference or were recognized for community involvement or a competition then consider including them.
Memberships or Professional Organizations.
List any memberships, campus activities or professional organizations you are currently or were engaged in that relate to your career objective. Indicate office(s) held.
Hobbies or Interests ( optional ).
This section may be included if you have hobbies or interests which demonstrate and highlight skills, abilities and characteristics about you. Some examples are: work with your hands, theater, art work, travel, historic preservation, hiking or even hunting.
Personal Background.
This section is rarely used in resumes today, but should you feel some personal information relates to the job objective, it may be included in the resume or in the cover letter.
Preparing a separate sheet of four or five professionally related references is acceptable. References are not normally included with your resume but may be furnished upon request on a separate sheet of paper. Divide references into work related, professional and personal.
Final Touches.
Final considerations are the selection of text, fonts, paper, printing and mailing methods.
Text The most popular typefaces are ( new century schoolbook, bookman, times, courier ).
Fonts (type size). Two types are generally used, 10-point and 12-point. An exception to this could be a header typed in a large font to highlight your name.
Paper and Envelopes. Resumes, cover letters and thank you letters should be printed on a high quality cotton paper. These choices reflect your style, your attention to detail and thoroughness. Variations are acceptable in some instances if they accentuate or highlight your field of interest or expertise.
Printing Methods. Always use a quality method of printing, such as a laser printer. If you do not use this, then have your resume typeset. Use graphics very sparingly or not at all unless their use appears appropriate for the field for which you are applying.
Mailing/Distribution. If you fax a resume, use white paper. Use the largest font which comfortably fits within your resume margins. Always mail or deliver a original to the prospective employer the same day. When doing a global job search, consider the electronic resume. Some local printing companies can help with the service of on-line resumes, but consider the fees and confidentiality issues involved in this choice.

Although it has a bevy of awards to its name and made almost $1 billion at the box office, Bohemian Rhapsody has faced quite a bit of criticism. The aspect of the film that has perhaps received the most criticism is the editing, particularly in the scene where Queen first meets manager John Reid, played by Mr. Chaos is a Ladder himself, Aidan Gillen. And that scene has been held up as evidence that Bohemian Rhapsody did not deserve all of its many accolades.

PepsiCo signs Burger King supply deal in China
PBB is a subsidiary of Tingyi-Asahi Beverages (TAB) in China, and PepsiCo said that the partnership was designed to create new growth opportunities for all three companies across China.
The deal spans several beverage brands from PepsiCo's portfolio, including Pepsi-Cola (China's best-selling cola), 7UP, Mirinda, Lipton and Tropicana. Burger King began selling PepsiCo beverages earlier this month.
PepsiCo said that it had a successful business relationship with BK in other markets, including the US, Latin America, Russia, and Turkey, but that this was the first time it was partnering the firm in China.
"As one of the best global chains of fast-food brands, BK is deeply honored to move into a strategic partnership with PepsiCo and PBB in China," Li Xiao, president of BK (Shanghai) Foods Company, said.
"For dozens of years, PepsiCo and TAB have been committed to taking root in China and paying back to society. Through such cooperation, we hope to further improve the long-term prospects of our business in the Chinese market," he added.
"We will continue to provide Chinese consumers with more and better choices of BK products and endeavor to meet their demands for variety, quality and safety-guaranteed food products."
Wah-Hui Chu, chairman of Pepsi Beverages, said, "There's huge potential to be tapped in China's food and beverage market. We're excited that Pepsi and BK are now joining hands and drawing on each other's strengths in pursuit of win-win cooperation.
"The fans of BK will now also get the opportunity to experience a variety of popular PepsiCo beverage products, including Pepsi-Cola, the leading cola brand in China. We look forward to deepening our cooperation with BK stores and providing a wide range of beverage choices and memorable experiences for consumers in China."

TESLA, THE start-up founded by Elon Musk to build luxury electric cars, has benefited mightily from government support. A half-billion-dollar federal loan, recently repaid, helped the company weather the Great Recession. Tesla logged its first quarterly profit this year, thanks to emission credits it earned under a California regulatory scheme. But in one crucial respect, government has been working against Mr. Musk and his fledgling enterprise — and rather unfairly at that.
We refer to the state laws that protect existing car dealerships and their various prerogatives, including laws in most states that make it illegal to sell new automobiles without a license, as well as many other statutes that make it nearly impossible for a manufacturer to fire a dealer. Tesla's business plan, however, hinges on direct sales to consumers through company-owned stores.
Tesla managed to open stores in Minnesota and Massachusetts by exploiting loopholes in those states' laws, but it has been rebuffed in the giant market of Texas, where the legislature refused to adopt a bill that would have let Mr. Musk's firm deal directly with car buyers. Virginia denied Tesla a license. The company can still sell cars over the Internet, as long as the actual sale occurs in California, its home state, and buyers register their vehicles locally when delivered. But legislation being considered in North Carolina would make it impossible for Tesla to do even that in the Tar Heel State.
Dealer protectionism is not bad only for Tesla and the admittedly small group of people wealthy enough to consider its cars, which start at $62,400. It's also bad for consumers generally, for the reasons you'd expect: Manufacturers, buyers and sellers of vehicles should be free to come together in the ways that they find, over time, to be most cost-effective. It's not for politicians to determine the optimal mode of distributing merchandise, even when the merchandise in question is something as large and as important to society as an automobile.
Auto dealers, of course, see it differently, arguing that their businesses have an incentive to invest more in customer service than manufacturers would, that they help states collect revenue via taxes and title fees and that they are often family-run pillars of the community.
The dealers aren't so much afraid of Tesla, which is not likely to be a high-volume seller soon, if ever. Rather, what worries them is that allowing Tesla to sell directly to consumers would set a precedent for the established automakers, who have been trying to get rid of the middleman for years. Dealers warn that would mean the rise of big-box car retailers and the death of small-town enterprise.
We have no particular brief for Tesla; its stand is not entirely principled, as shown by the fact that the direct-to-consumer law it supported in Texas would have applied only to Tesla. This federally assisted start-up is an unlikely free-market martyr.
The fact remains that innovation is the lifeblood of capitalism — and that for years the auto dealers have been using their political clout to resist it. Dealers insist that the current franchise laws enshrine an optimal arrangement for consumers. If that's true, then they have nothing to fear from Tesla or anyone else who wants to offer something new.

AVONDALE, Ariz. - Matt Kenseth said Friday, "I'm as optimistic as I've ever been" this season about his chances in Sunday's NASCAR race and catching Jimmie Johnson for the Sprint Cup title.
"I feel like my race team and my race cars are capable on any given week," said Kenseth, who's seven points behind Johnson with two races left.
The first race is Sunday's AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, followed by the season finale the next weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Florida.
Kenseth, with seven wins, is having a strong first season driving the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Previously, he raced for what is now Roush Fenway Racing and won a Cup championship with that team in 2003.
Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, is seeking a sixth championship. He has six victories this season and he's good friends with Kenseth.
"I don't view the 48 [team] as weak or vulnerable," Kenseth said. "They can win any weekend at any kind of race track. I just feel like, at our best, that we can run with them."
Johnson said he, too, was prepared for the Chase's climax.
"I'm not the best at putting up the fastest lap, the best at qualifying," Johnson said. "Racing's what I'm good at. That's my sweet spot."
Qualifying at the one-mile Phoenix International oval was scheduled later Friday to set the 43-car field for Sunday's race.

Past Exhibits
The Sitka Photo Shop Studio: Picturing Our Past
May 2015-July 2015
The exhibit explores the photographic legacy left by the Sitka Photo Shop Studio. Much more than a place for tourists and locals alike to get their film developed, the Studio, which operated from 1924 to 1972, boasted the largest collection of postcards and photos for sale in Alaska. The exhibit delves into the history of the Studio and displays many of the striking images that chronicle the people, buildings, history, and ever-changing landscape of Sitka.
Life from the Land: Honoring the Art of Hunting and Conservation
December 2014-April 2015
Produced in collaboration with the Sitka Conservation Society, the exhibit honors the rich history of hunting and the artful balance of wildlife conservation in Southeast Alaska. The displays reflect the significant role that hunting has played in the lives, livelihoods, and cultural heritage of Alaskans from prehistoric times through the contemporary era, and considers the vital role that the conservationist point of view has played in maintaining wildlife populations for future generations of hunters.
Celebrating Our Heroes: The U.S. Coast Guard in Sitka
July 2014-November 2014
Stationed in one of the harshest environments on the planet, members of Alaska's Coast Guard risk their lives to protect the public, the region's natural resources, and the Nation's interests. The exhibit honors the contributions made by the men and women of the Coast Guard and explores the rich history of the Coast Guard in Sitka and Southeast Alaska, with roots stretching back to the 19th Century and the Revenue Cutter Service. From the first USCG pilot to become a NASA astronaut to the first female USCG rescue swimmer, Air Station Sitka proudly claims a sea of firsts in USCG history.
The Past Inspiring the Present
April 2014-June 2014
Twenty-one Sitka artists participated in a new and exciting museum project. Artists were given unprecedented access to the historical society's collection in order to create new artwork. Artists used historic photographs, paintings, and artifacts to inspire new pieces in a variety of media.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 67 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
We recently launched a marketing consulting firm and need a logo to use on our business cards, corporate materials, etc.
The company is owned by 2 women, and we primarily work with b-2-b customers in the financial services arena.
Can you help us stand out from the stuffy, buttomed up types?
** we want to start the contest now, and will provide feedback through Thursday Feb 12th. There will be a week lag time where one founder (me) will be on a beach and off the grid.
Winner chosen on or about Feb 23
We are pretty open. We would like to incorporate an icon, unless a text treatment is compelling. We just want to be wow'd.
We are not a design agency, we are a strategic marketing agency. That said, we do marcom work for our clients, including web, print and other creative services, but we don't want to be thought of as a design studio.
The letters TBD don't represent our names, but more a play on To Be Determined (or two bitchy divas?)
We do have a web site. It's our starter site and is fun. it will probably have a life of 8 months until we have the time to put some time into it. Don't take too much direction from that other than understanding our tone of voice.
Do not incorporate the tag line from the site ...
- show logo on a white background (we need to envision it alone)
- if you want to show how it would look on other backgrounds no problem
- prefer san serif or modern font
- elegant
- eye catching
- stand out on white background
- one or two color
- creative
- feminine, but not "girlie"
- like jewel tones. we've been representing the company name in dark gray and eggplant
- we really like the eggplant color
- the colors should be well thought-out to support a pretty web safe palette
- should represent in black/white and gray scale without losing impact
- stuffy
- predictable
- a mark so complex that it can't translate to a small size
- overly script type font
- Dark or medium blue. financial services and related companies are all blue. if a blue is used, a turquoise may be ok, but not as the primary color.
- overly whimsical, we want to be taken seriously
- overly artsy. we are a strategic firm and don't want to be mistaken for a design agency

Speech Therapy
The film takes the viewer through a time in history that is well documented, yet this story is such a personal one in regards to the royal family and I think it just shows that the Royals, too, are just human.
As you are all aware, I am a registered nurse. I work alongside Speech Therapists many a shift. Their work can go unrecognised, which is easy because their work is done behind closed doors. At my children's school the Speech Therapists work with individual students too. Not just because their speech is lacking, but because development in children's comprehension and articulation is also needing attention.
When Tom started Primary School I was unaware he was in need of some Speech Therapy lessons. As a parent, when you have a child who talks non stop from the age of 18mths and you think their speech is great, then they begin school and you are told they need therapy you stand back and ask "What for?" Tom did have problems processing thoughts from brain to hand and getting them out in a comprehensive manner. In other words, making a story flow. Sure he could speak well enough, who wouldn't with a Mum that can speak her way out of a wet paper bag? lol. But, his Speech lessons proved well worth the time spent. We were able to continue techniques here at home, and in a few short months, Tom's comprehension improved.
Now, Mia is having Speech Therapy too. Her problems are similar to that of Tomas'. In these past few months her comprehension, her courage and willingness to learn has excelled. Tonight here right beside me she has been writing stories about spiders (I know ewww) and their life cycle. Her sentence structure has improved and she is understanding what it is she is trying to get across. This morning she took along three pages of stories about different spiders to her teacher. Her teacher told her today that she will be putting them together in a book for Mia. I know her teacher very well and I know that this will be given to Mia at the end of the year, and it will show Mia how far she has come since January. Very exciting.

I loved "The King's Speech" and thought it was one of the best films I've seen in years.
It was interesting to read how speech therapy has helped your children to focus. I have a nine year old grandson whose life has turned around since he's been doing the same.

Thanks Ginnie, that means alot to me that the speech path lessons do work. They are amazing people the speech path's they have patience of gold!

How wonderful it is that these things can be sorted out before they affect the lives of our children - n the past it probably would have gone unrecognised till it caused problems.

I loved the King's Speech and it brought back memories of my DD who had a horrific stammer beginning at the age of 3 1/2. She also had a crutch (A physical action to attempt to get the words flowing) which was a foot stomp. It was heartbreaking to watch this child trying desperately to get her words out and stoomping her little foor. It still makes me weepy. We had a wonderful speech therapist who helped us through it. Pgirl now 13 no longer stutter regularly but on occasion Tiredness or nerves) has to swap out a word or use breathing techniques to get words out.

EDITORIAL: DARFUR: Darfur
In early 2003 Ethnic African Sudanese rebels calling themselves the Sudan Liberation Army attacked an outpost of the Arab Sudanese government in a protest over the mistreatment and neglect in the Darfur region of Western Sudan. In response the Sudan government armed, funded, and mobilized Arab "self-defense militias," – the Janjaweed - which are accused of carrying out atrocities against local black Africans: Raping women, destroying villages, food stocks and other supplies essential to the civilian population. They have driven more than one million civilians, mostly farmers, into camps and settlements in and out of Darfur where they live on the very edge of survival. The SLA rebels, composed mostly of orphaned children, continue to patrol Darfur, skirmishing with Sudan government forces and the Janjaweed.

What: A Celine-hosted preview of the Isa Genzken retrospective, on view through March 10, 2014.
When: Tuesday, November 12th
Where: Cocktails took place in the foyer of the sixth-floor gallery at the Museum of Modern Art outside the exhibition; guests wandered (drink-free, of course) through Genzken's elaborate, radical pieces.
Who: Celine creative director Phoebe Philo brought together friends from the fashion, entertainment, and art worlds, including Sofia Coppola, Cindy Sherman, Kim Gordon, and Lorna Simpson.
Why: While a Philo appearance in New York is reason enough to show up, Genzken's mixed-media sculptures stole the spotlight.

Hey, after a lot of reading/googling I managed to figure out how to use Swing a little bit; my latest question which I've been unable to find an answer for (I've probably found the answer somewhere but didn't know I had) is if it's possible to replace a JButton with an image.
I'm pretty much just messing around creating frames, panels, buttons and that and I thought it might be cool to experiment with custom buttons.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Switching your dog to a raw meat diet?
Here are some tips to help with the conversion:
- Try to heat the diet slightly to change the temperature and then each day back it down to feeding it raw.
- Add a little warm water to the mix and make a slurry out of the diet.
- Sprinkle a little powdered garlic on the diet. They love garlic.
- Try different varieties of protein choices to find one they like.
- Don't let them win you over. Be persistent and keep trying to get them to convert.
Their health is at stake – don't quit trying to convert them to the new diet.
Most dogs will have no problems doing a fast conversion (a slow conversion is always suggested when the immune system has been compromised from antibiotics, steroids or vaccinations).

If you would like to be entered into our drawings for prizes after completing the quiz, please enter your name and email. I prefer to take the quiz anonymously: No Yes Name: E-Mail: 1. If you are under 21 years of age, it is okay to be around other people who are drinking alcohol on campus, as long as you are not drinking alcohol yourself. True False 2. Though it is unacceptable to use "hard" drugs on campus, smoking marijuana is considered less serious and therefore is acceptable. True False 3. As an individual student, the UAH Code of Student Conduct affords you the right to a hearing in order to discuss an incident in which you are allegedly involved. Since you are not automatically considered responsible for a violation of policy when you are documented ("written up"), it is important that you attend this hearing to give your account of the incident. True False 4. According to the UAH Code of Student conduct, you must obtain effective consent* from another person prior to engaging any sexual activity with that person. (*Defined as a spoken or otherwise demonstrated "yes"). True False 5. It is always acceptable for you to turn in the same paper for two different classes, as long as the topics are similar enough and it makes sense to do so. True False 6. If you are found using a false identification off campus to purchase alcohol, you will not be in violation of the Alcohol Misuse policy at UAH. True False 7. The University has a policy of contacting parent(s)/guardian(s) when a minor student is held responsible for an alcohol and/or drug violation in order to make parent(s)/guardian(s) aware of the disciplinary status for their student. True False 8. Upon completing your housing contract to live on-campus, you are agreeing to the specific expectations and policies as outlined in the Housing Handbook established by the University Housing Office.

It is okay to display alcohol containers for decorative purposes in your residence room as long as they are empty. True False 11. If you are in possession of an item in your residence hall that is for the purpose of using any illegal drug, you are in violation of policy, even if the item has not been used for that purpose (i.e. hookah). True False 12. Encouraging or participating in hazing activities is fine as long as everyone has consented. True False 13. When stopped by a University official, (i.e. Campus Police, Residence Hall Staff, etc.), and asked for identification, it is expected that you will provide identification promptly. True False 14. Drinking alcohol under the age of 21 and/ or partaking in illegal drugs anywhere off campus (including other states and/or countries) can be considered a violation of UAH policy. True False 15.

Final Report
Draft Recommendations Overview
The Student Success Initiative page is where you'll find all the latest information about this effort...
The value of a college education cannot be argued. Californians holding an associate or bachelor's degree are likely to earn $1 million more in their lifetime than a person who holds only a high school diploma.
That's why the Student Success Task Force has examined best practices and effective models within higher education throughout the nation to improve educational achievements here in California. The task force produced a final report that was adopted by the board of governors and was presented to the Legislature in February 2012. Senate Bill 1456 (Lowenthal), the Student Success Act of 2012, was approved 33-1 by the state Senate in May 2012. The bill will help make important services more accessible to students, allowing for a greater chance of success. It has moved to the state Assembly and will be voted on by the Assembly Committee on Higher Education on June 19.

ALL of Islam derives from Mohammed and nowhere else. Even aspects of Islam that appear to derive from Christianity and Judaism are actually corrupted versions of those religions which have been twisted and perverted to suit Mohammed's psychopathic agenda.
By our standards, Mohammed's actions were evil. But Muslims live in a different moral universe from the rest of us, where the very definition of good and evil are determined by what Mohammed (the Perfect man) did and said. Islam aims to completely destroy the conscience and free will of the Muslim and replace it with the cloned behavior of a psychopathic megalomaniac.
The Golden Rule or Ethic of Reciprocity is the basis of all religions apart from Islam (and maybe Satanism). It says 'Treat others as you would like to be treated' or 'That which is hateful to you, do not do to another'.
But in Islam, the 'Ethic of Reciprocity' applies only to Muslims. The nearest approximation to the Golden Rule is "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself". In other words, share the booty equally with your fellow (male) Muslims.
In contrast, Allah encourages murder, rape, pillage, extortion, parasitism and enslavement of non-Muslims, who are 'najis' subhumans to be treated as expendable garbage. Reciprocity does not extend beyond the global gang (Ummah). Muslim ethics are the ethics of the Mafia.
Islam is not about following one's conscience, but about correct behavior. If one imitates the behaviors of Mohammed (The Perfect Man), then one has done all that is required to be a good Muslim. Hence ethical principles, as we understand them, are not a part of Islam.
With no system of morality or ethics as we would understand it, the greatest good is to work towards Islam's domination of the entire world , and to achieve this objective any means are justified, just as Mohammed was vicious and ruthless in using any means to spread his cult.
Mohammed murdered, tortured, raped, looted, lied and extorted to further the expansion of Islam, and his modern followers do exactly the same.
Divinely approved thuggery
As there is no room for conscience in Islam; any personal ideas of right or wrong are heretical. Right and wrong are determined solely by what Mohammed did or said. Mohammed is the 'Perfect Man' and role model for all Muslims for all time.
Therefore, the objective of every jihadist is to become a ruthless, mindless robotic clone of Mohammed, a killing machine programmed to react in the way that he would. There is no morality to be found in Islam, just a set of conditioned responses and endlessly repetitive obsessive-compulsive rituals around tribal totems, taboos and mumbo-jumbo, which serve to further retard the clones' critical mental faculties.
And just as the psychopath Mohammed murdered, raped, tortured, plundered and lied to spread his cult, driven by his all-consuming need to dominate , so his modern clones do the same, including the torture, rape and mass-murder of children - all done without the slightest feelings of guilt or remorse in the knowledge that they are pleasing to Allah.
Hatred of 'filthy infidels' is the pivot of Islamic existence
Jihadists are taught from infancy that non-Muslims are 'najis kafirs' - filthy unbelievers who may be exterminated as vermin. This dehumanisation of non-Muslims further destroys any vestiges of pity or compassion that the predatory jihadist may feel towards his victims. And since everything belongs to Allah, the land and property of the unbelievers are there for the taking by the true followers of the 'prophet'.
To be a good Muslim is to be a robotic clone of the original founder of the the cult, whom you must emulate in every way, and in the process destroy your own individuality, judgement and conscience. Muslims try to ape Mohammed's behavior down to the tiniest details. For example, one of the Four Imams, Abmad ibn Hanbal, was a great Traditionalist. It is stated that he would not eat water-melons because, although he knew that the 'Prophet' ate them, he could not learn whether the 'Prophet' ate them with or without the rind, or whether he broke, bit or cut them.
Islam is not about right and wrong thinking but correct behaviour. If one imitates the behaviours of Mohammed, then one is observant and submissive. Morality is not a part of Islam. If there is a more fundamental difference between Islam and all other creeds and religions I do not know of it. It is so alien that the reader will have to consider its implications for some time to grasp the full meaning of it.
The Ummah has effectively only one brain for 1.2 billion people, and that brain belongs to Mohammed.
The Muslim has no need for a conscience, because Mohammed's example determines what is right or wrong. If he wants to rape a nine year old girl or slaughter a few hundred kuffar then he will not be bothered by a guilty conscience, because the 'perfect man' has set the precedents.
Islam produces swarms of mindless mobotic clones programmed to emulate a seventh century psychopath.
Islam cannot spread or even maintain itself without violence: violence to those who attempt to leave Islam, violence to those who criticise Islam, and violence to those who refuse to be subjugated by Islam.
Islam has been a terrorist cult since it was founded. Mohammed said "I have been made victorious with terror"
Now since Mohammed is 'the perfect man' and role model for all Muslims, it follows that terrorists have divine approval for what they do. All that stuff about a 'tiny minority of extremists' is a load of taqiyya. Terrorism is mainstream, bog-standard orthodox Islam. The more Muslims you have in a country, the greater the incidence of terrorism.
Obsessive hatred of infidels
"Islam is the only religion which is more obsessed with unbelievers than it is with its own followers. Muslims define their own identity solely in opposition to the Kuffar. Islamic accomplishments are so negligible that they have no positive cultural features with which they can identify. Hence the unceasing and implacable aggression toward civilized peoples and envy of their accomplishments. The development and deliberate cultivation of hatred is such a central feature of Islam that there is nothing that we Kuffars can do, or not do, that would make our univited guests hate us any less or any more.
Rage is so intrinsic to Islam that external events are irrelevant. Hatred of non-Moslems is the pivot of Islamic existence. Muslims are bound together by a shared and carefully nurtured animosity to 'The Other' developed from earliest childhood, which ignites a permanent fire of tension between Moslems and non-Moslems. Ever since Jihadists started immigrating into the West, we have become all too familiar with concepts such as 'Killing the unbelievers wherever you find them' and the tribal polarities of Dar al-Harb versus Dar al-Islam , Ummah versus Kuffar etc."
Predatory cult
The difference between predatory cults such as Islam and real religions, is that a true religion attempts to bring out the best in people, whereas a predatory cult does the opposite.
Muslims inhabit a different moral universe from the rest of us, where good is evil and evil is good, if it serves the purposes of Islam.
While other religions teach goodwill to mankind, Islam teaches hostility to all non-members of the cult.
Jesus, in the parable of the Good Samaritan, taught his followers to help all people in need, irrespective of their religion. Jews are commanded to be a light unto the nations. The Buddha taught compassion for all suffering beings.
But in Islam, charity applies only to fellow Muslims, and in fact many Islamic charities are money-launderers for jihad.There is no Golden Rule in Islam. There is no place for conscience in Islam. Peel away the thin veneer of religiosity, and all you find is vicious, primitive, predatory tribalism.
As well as the various forms of organized premeditated jihad, Muslims are psychologically primed to be opportunist jihadists, spontaneously attacking their prey like packs of hyenas as soon as they sense they have the numerical advantage. Islam legitimizes and encourages predatory attacks on infidels.
This kind of spontaneous, opportunistic jihad is exemplified by the 'Street Jihad' attacks in Europe, and Islamic gang rapes such as that of Lara Logan.
Most religions have a restraining influence on anti-social behavior, but Islam has precisely the opposite effect due to deliberate destruction of the conscience.
Islam incites and excuses crime against infidels. Because of their arrogant sense of supremacy and automatic entitlement, Muslims regard infidels not as fellow human beings, but as walking opportunities for plunder , parasitism and rape .
Islam is not a religion. It is an international criminal conspiracy like the Mafia .
There is no moral equivalence
Those people who use the moral equivalence argument to compare Islam with other religions, need to examine their own subconscious psychological motives. They are not only attempting to delude others, but are in deep denial and trying to delude themselves.
The conscious part of the argument takes the form "Christians and Jews have committed atrocities such as the McVeigh, Breivik and King David Hotel bombings, so Christianity and Judaism are just the same as Islam. Therefore Islam poses no special threat."
The fallacies are obvious: Christian and Jewish acts of terrorism are rare and infrequent; they are rejected by the majority of followers of the religions, go against the core teachings of the religions, and are committed by a few isolated loonies. In contrast, Islamic acts of terrorism are commonplace, are encouraged by the Koran and are supported, if not actually carried out, by a substantial proportion of Muslims.
The unconscious and self-deluding part of the moral equivalence argument is the refusal to face the fact that Islam is an intrisically violent totalitarian ideology that has infiltrated our civilization, and is bent on our conversion, subjugation or elimination. To acknowlege this would be deeply disturbing and well outside the comfort zone of most people (remember the popular enthusiasm for appeasement of Hitler and 'Peace in Our Time'?) . So we reassure ourselves, by the moral equivalence argument, that Islam is just like other religions.
It's far easier to stay in denial and regard Islam as being no more threat to our lives and culture than the Quakers or Lubavitcher Hasidim. That way we don't have to worry about the looming global clash of civizations, or think about the unpleasant courses of action that may be necessary to reduce the threat. We can leave that for our children to sort out.

Combining Kawai's industry-leading Grand Feel II wooden-key keyboard action, stunning SK-EX Rendering piano sound engine with multi-channel sampling and resonance modelling, premium audio processing and amplification technologies powered by Onkyo, and a powerful 6-speaker output system, the CA78 delivers grand piano playing authenticity at a competitive price.
The magnificent tone of Kawai's flagship Shigeru Kawai SK-EX full concert grand piano is at the heart of the CA98 and CA78 digital pianos. Widely regarded as the 'premier pianos of Japan', Shigeru Kawai instruments grace the stages of concert halls and musical institutions throughout the world, and are prized for their tonal clarity and exceptional dynamic range.
In order to faithfully reproduce the stunning sound of a Shigeru digitally, Kawai has developed SK-EX Rendering – a brand new piano sound engine that blends multi-channel, 88-key sampling with the latest resonance modelling technology. Multi-channel sampling captures the sound from different points of the Shigeru Kawai concert grand piano, allowing a broader range of tonal characteristics to be reproduced, and providing a more lively, authentic response to changes in dynamics. This naturally expressive sound is further enriched by newly developed resonance algorithms, which physically model the complex tonal interactions produced by the strings, damper, and various other parts of an acoustic piano, giving players the impression that they're sitting at a living, breathing instrument.
Articulating this beautiful SK-EX sound is the superb Grand Feel II wooden-key keyboard action, which draws upon Kawai's 90 years of acoustic piano craftsmanship to provide an exceptionally realistic playing experience. As with a grand piano, all of the Grand Feel II action's eighty-eight black and white keys are crafted entirely from long pieces of wood, and pivot on a central balance pin with a smooth, seesaw-like motion. This natural movement throws grade-weighted metal hammers located at the back of the keyboard, with their individual velocities precisely measured using triple-sensor technology for improved responsiveness and realism.
The Grand Feel II action's extended wooden keys also boast an extra-long pivot length – matching that of a Kawai acoustic grand piano. This provides a more consistent touch weight when playing towards the rear of the keyboard, while additional counterweights placed below each key help to further balance the weight of the action during pianissimo passages. Finally, the Grand Feel II keyboard action also features Kawai's Ebony & Ivory Touch key surfaces that gently absorb moisture to assist playing control, and possess a natural matte finish that is smooth, but not slippery.
Developed in collaboration with Onkyo, one of Japan's leading premium audio equipment manufacturers, the CA98 and CA78 digital pianos are the first musical instruments to utilise specialist components designed for high-end audio reproduction. With state of the art technologies such as 1-bit DSD processing, dual DAC signal conversion, and Onkyo's exclusive DIDRC circuitry, the Concert Artists' optimised power amplifiers reproduce the Shigeru Kawai grand piano sound with stunning richness and clarity.
As the flagship model, the CA98 features a considerably improved speaker system that pairs premium Onkyo driver units with Kawai's newly developed TwinDrive soundboard. This unique acoustic projection technology harnesses the latest Onkyo transducer components to channel sound energy onto a real wooden soundboard, resulting in a richer, more natural piano tone that immerses the performer.
Both Concert Artist models also incorporate Onkyo's brand new high-performance Discrete SpectraModule™ headphone amplifier, which combines with Kawai's existing Spatial Headphone Sound (SHS) technology to ensure the finest quality and most engaging listening experience, even when playing in privacy.
In addition to standard USB and MIDI jacks for connecting to computers or other instruments, the CA98 and CA78 digital pianos also feature integrated Bluetooth® MIDI and Audio technology that allows these instruments to communicate with supported smart devices wirelessly. Once paired with a phone, tablet, or laptop, Concert Artist owners can enjoy a wide variety of exciting music-related apps that enhance their learning and playing experience, or stream audio from songs and videos directly through the instruments' premium amplifier and speaker systems without the need to connect additional cables.
The CA98 and CA78 digital pianos are the first instruments of their kind to feature a full-colour 5″ touchscreen display. Discreetly embedded within the left cheekblock, this high resolution touchscreen allows sounds and settings to be selected from an attractive user interface simply by tapping or swiping the display with a finger. The screen can also be set to turn off automatically while playing, thus preserving the instruments' acoustic piano-like appearance, and minimising any visual distractions to the performer.
The CA98 and CA78 are housed within premium quality wooden cabinets that incorporate a flat fascia and raised upper board, giving these instruments a classic, upright piano-like character. The Concert Artists' broad music rest is designed to accommodate the most ambitious musical works, with smoothly rounded edges and simulated leather lining the base. As with a grand piano, the viewing angle of the instruments' music rest can be adjusted to suit the performer's playing position, or even set to a special 'composer desk' angle for greater convenience when notating scores or sketching musical ideas. The CA98 and CA78 are available in three attractive cabinet finishes: Premium Rosewood, Premium Satin Black, and Premium Satin White, allowing musicians to coordinate their piano with a range of traditional or modern interiors.
Stunning multi-channel grand piano sounds, an ultra-realistic wooden-key keyboard action, premium audio, amplification, and speaker technologies, convenient Bluetooth connectivity, and a modern touchscreen interface.
