University Parallel Degree Requirements in the Tennessee Board of Regents System
Associate of Applied Science Degree Requirements in the Tennessee Board of Regents Sysetm
Approved Courses for General Education
Statement of Philosophy of the General Education Core
Northeast State requires a core of general education courses as part of each degree program. In compliance with the Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) approved general education core (TBR Policy 2:01:00:00), each Associate of Arts, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Science in Teaching emphasis includes 41 semester hours of general education as preparation for entering a baccalaureate program. Each Associate of Applied Science degree program includes 15-17 semester hours of general education to prepare graduates for the expectations of employers.
The purpose of the general education core is to ensure that college students have the broad knowledge and skills to become life-long learners in a global community that will continue to change. Northeast State faculty designed the general education core courses to emphasize a breadth of understanding and not a set of skills, techniques, or procedures associated with a specific occupation or profession.
As a member of the Tennessee Board of Regents System, Northeast State adheres to the philosophy that general education should provide critical thinking skills for inquiry and analysis, assimilation of facts and knowledge, and problem solving. Specifically, the general education core at Northeast State is grounded on these principles:
Educated people
Practice and are literate in the various methods of communication.
Recognize individual roles in history, culture, and diverse heritages of Tennessee, the United States, and the world.
Appreciate the web of commonality of all humans in a multicultural world and are prepared for responsibilities of an engaged citizenship.
Recognize the ethical demands of life.
Demonstrate the skills and knowledge of the social and behavioral sciences to analyze the contemporary world.
Are familiar with the history and aesthetics of the fine arts.
Understand and practice the scientific and mathematical views of the world.
To ensure that TBR goals and learning outcomes are met, general education core courses have been reviewed and approved through both institutional and statewide processes. The general education core categories include communication (written and oral), humanities and/or fine arts, behavioral/social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics, and history. Degree requirements for the Associate of Arts/Sciences and the Associate of Applied Science degree programs are listed below.
For a complete listing of the goals and learning outcomes for Northeast State's general education core, please go here.
Effective Fall Semester 2004, each institution in the State University and Community College System of Tennessee (The Tennessee Board of Regents System) will share a common lower-division general education core curriculum of 41 semester hours for baccalaureate degrees and the Associate of Arts, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Science, and the Associate of Science in Teaching degree programs as outlined in TBR Policy 2:01:00:00 (General Education Requirements and Degree Requirements). Lower-division refers to freshman and sophomore level courses. The courses comprising the general education curriculum are contained within the following subject categories:
Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Degrees*
Communication 9 hours**
Humanities and/or Fine Arts (At least one course must be in literature) 9 hours
Behavioral and Social Sciences 6 hours
History 6 hours***
Natural Sciences 8 hours
Mathematics 3 hours
Total 41 hours
* Foreign language courses are an additional requirement for the Associate of Arts (A.A.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree programs. The B.A. degree requires proficiency in a foreign language equivalent to completion of two years of college-level work. The A.A. degree requires proficiency in a foreign language equivalent to completion of one year of college-level work.
** Six hours of English composition and three hours in English oral presentational communication are required.
*** Students who lack the required one unit (one year) of American History from high school as an admissions requirement must complete six (6) semester hours of American History or three (3) semester hours of American History and three (3) semester hours of Tennessee History to fulfill the history requirement in general education. Otherwise, students may choose from among the history courses approved at a particular institution to fulfill the six-semester hour requirement in history.
Although the courses designated by Tennessee Board of Regents institutions to fulfill the requirements of the general education subject categories vary, transfer of the courses is assured through the following means:
Students who complete the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree and transfer to a university within the Tennessee Board of Regents System will have satisfied all lower-division general education requirements.
Students who do not complete the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree and transfer to a university within the Tennessee Board of Regents System but who complete blocks of subject categories will have satisfied the general education requirements for the categories of note.
For example, if the eight (8) semester hours of natural sciences are completed, then this block of the general education requirement is fulfilled upon transfer to an institution within the Tennessee Board of Regents System.
When a subject category is incomplete, a course by-course evaluation will be conducted, and the student will be subject to specific requirements of the receiving institution.
Institutional/departmental requirements of the grade of "C" will be honored. If credit is granted for a course with the grade of "D," any specific requirements for the grade of "C" by the receiving institution will be enforced, except as provided with calculation of grade point averages (GPAs) for courses transferred and related applications.
In certain majors, specific courses must also be taken in general education. It is important that students and advisors be aware of any major requirements that must be fulfilled under lower-division general education. In cases where specific courses are required as a part of general education for certain majors, the student is responsible for enrolling in the correct courses. Failure to fulfill specific major requirements in lower-division general education may result in the need to complete additional courses.
If a student is following a Tennessee Transfer Pathway, all courses contained within the curriculum of that pathway completed by the student prior to transfer shall be accepted by the university and be applied either to the general education requirement or area of emphasis requirement as listed in that Tennessee Transfer Pathway.
Courses designated to fulfill general education by Northeast State are published below. A complete listing of the courses fulfilling general education requirements for all system institutions is available on the TBR website (www.tbr.edu) under Transfer and Articulation Information.
Associate of Applied Science Degree Requirements in the Tennessee Board of Regents System
According to Tennessee Board of Regents policy, Associate of Applied Science degree programs require a minimum of 60 college-level semester hours. Credit hours earned in learning support courses are institutional credit and are not applicable to credit hours required for a certificate, associate, or baccalaureate degree. Each student studying for an Associate of Applied Science degree must complete a minimum of 15-17 semester credit hours of general education and a minimum of 44-46 semester credit hours in the technical specialty. Components of the basic core of general education in Associate of Applied Science degree programs consist of a minimum of one course in the following areas*
Subject Area Credit Hours
English Composition 3
Humanities/Fine Arts 3
Behavioral and Social Sciences 3
Natural Science/Mathematics 3-4
One additional course from the
categories of Communication,

Q: Galois automorphisms and Field extensions
Let $\alpha$ be a root of $x^3+3x-1$ and let $\beta$ be a root of $x^3-x+2$.

I want to show that $\alpha^2+\beta$ has degree $9$. There are many ways to do this, but I wish to solve the problem by the following line of argument: using the automorphisms of the normal closure of $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha,\beta)$ might allows us to show that the latter contains at most two cubic subfields, which thus have to be $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\beta)$. Can somebody help?
Edit: The answer by Jyrki Lahtonen in this other post goes exactely in that direction, but it is not completely clear to me, and I believe/hope the argument could me made cleaner.

Washington, Oct 14 (ANI): A new study has suggested that individuals' perception of starch texture is shaped by variability in the activity of an oral enzyme known as salivary amylase.
"Differences in starch perception likely affect people's nutritional status by influencing their liking for and intake of starchy and starch-thickened foods," said lead author Abigail Mandel.
Amylase enzymes secreted in saliva help break down starches into simpler sugar molecules that ultimately are absorbed into the bloodstream and thus influence blood glucose levels.
The study revealed that changes of starch consistency in the mouth were directly related to salivary amylase activity.
Enzyme levels and activity were measured in several ways, using saliva collected from 73 subjects.
First, each person's saliva was mixed with a standardized starch sample and a sensor measured the enzymatic breakdown of the starch's consistency.
Next, enzyme and protein assays directly measured the amount and activity of salivary amylase in the saliva samples.
Finally, subjects completed continuous evaluations over a 60-second interval to rate the perceived breakdown of a starch sample while in the mouth.
"Taken together, this means that foods with different starch levels will be perceived very differently by people as a function of how much salivary amylase they produce. What may seem like a thick and resistant pudding or starchy food to some may seem noticeably thin in the mouths of others," said Paul A. S. Breslin of Monell Center.
The study went on to demonstrate a genetic influence on salivary amylase activity.
Previous research had revealed that an individual can have anywhere from 2 to 15 copies of AMY1, the gene that codes for salivary amylase.
Mandel and collaborators analysed DNA samples from 62 subjects and found that the number of AMY1 copies a person has is directly related to the amount and activity of their salivary amylase.
Combining the findings, the study demonstrated a series of relationships extending from variation in genes to individual differences in nutrient perception in the mouth.
"A link from genetic variation to enzymatic proteins to altered physiology to oral perception of textures is quite novel and provides a complete story," said Breslin.

Q: Handling a custom control event from the parent window I have a custom control, lets call it uc_mycontrol, inside this control, I have a button lets name it btn_demo.
So in my mainwindow.xaml , i have an instance of the uc_mycontrol.  I want to use the btn_demo click event handler, but I want to declare the event handler within the mainwindow's class, rather than declaring the event handler in uc_mycontrol's class. I know that the best way to handle the click event is by defining it inside uc_mycontrol but I specifically want to handle this event on the  mainwindow
In summary, I have a custom control, with a button on it. I have instantiated the custom control on a window. I want to handle the button click event within the window, rather than from within the custom control.

A: You can define a custom event in your uc_mycontrol. Then, on bt_demo click event, very if the custom delegate has subscribers. If yes, fire the custom event.
public partial class uc_mycontrol : UserControl
{
    public delegate void MyControlClickEvent(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e);
    public event MyControlClickEvent OnControlClickEvent;

    public uc_mycontrol()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.OnControlClickEvent?.Invoke(sender, e);// sender = the button
        //this.OnControlClickEvent?.Invoke(this, e); // sender = this control
    }
}

Add your custom control to MainWindow.xaml and subscribe to the custom event.
<Window x:Class="StackOverFlowWPF.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:StackOverFlowWPF"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<Grid>
    <local:uc_mycontrol HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="293" Margin="89,64,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="547"
                        OnControlClickEvent="uc_mycontrol_OnControlClickEvent">
    </local:uc_mycontrol>
</Grid>

In your MainWindow.xaml.cs, you will have:
private void uc_mycontrol_OnControlClickEvent(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Message");
}


Calhoun County will get a new State Police barracks costing $250,000, a project sought by Del. Bill Stemple.
The barracks has been proposed to be constructed at the entrance to Calhoun-Middle High School.
Gov. Joe Manchin vetoed $8.7 million in projects when he signed the budget bill last April.
Most of those items have been restored, including the Calhoun project.
House Finance Chairman Harold Michael (D-Hardy) questioned Manchin's authority in vetoing the projects. Michael has brought home more money per capita to his district, by far, than any other legislator in the state using digest or contingency funds.
House Speaker Bob Kiss (D-Raleigh) defended Michael, saying legislators with tenue "bring home the bacon."
After a delay caused by a pending lawsuit, legislators have completed this year's budget digest.
The digest lists about $26 million dollars worth of spending recommendations, including about $15 million dollars of items requested by individual lawmakers.
A list of Budget Digest funding for Calhoun will likely be released by Stemple.

ATAL's Award-Winning AMSFS III Granted Patent in Mainland China
Kartika 2022-09-15
HONG KONG, Sep 15, 2022 – (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – Analogue Holdings Limited (stock code: 1977) together with its subsidiaries (referred to as "ATAL Engineering Group", "ATAL" or the "Group"), a leading electrical and mechanical ("E&M") engineering services provider in Hong Kong, today announced that the China National Intellectual Property Administration ("CNIPA") has granted the Group the utility model patent for its award-winning(1) in-house developed sewage treatment technology "ATAL Multi-Stages Flocculation Sedimentation III" ("AMSFS III"). It further strengthens the Group's extensive portfolio of patents acquired, whilst demonstrating its expertise in and commitment to technological innovation and environmental protection.
The utility model patent certificate granted by the China National Intellectual Property Administration.
ATAL's in-house developed sewage treatment technology "ATAL Multi-Stages Flocculation Sedimentation III" ("AMSFS III") has been applied in sewage projects in Mainland China.
Dr Otto Poon Lok-To, Chairman of ATAL Engineering Group, said, "We are gratified that CNIPA granted us the utility model patent for AMSFS III technology, recognising our cross-border teams' collaborations and the capability of in-house technological development. Despite the established market for traditional sewage treatment systems, we saw a surging demand for easy-to-install systems in remote villages and rural areas. With our highly flexible containerised AMSFS III system, I believe we are well-positioned to capture business opportunities in Mainland China and other countries included in the Belt and Road Initiative. Going forward, we will continue to pursue technological breakthroughs, aiming to strengthen environmental protection and improve quality of life through continuous innovation."
Co-designed and built by the Group's Hong Kong and Mainland China teams, while manufactured in the Group's factory in Nanjing, AMSFS III is an all-in-one wastewater treatment system leveraging the latest construction technologies including Building Information Modelling ("BIM"), Modular Integrated Construction ("MiC") and Multi-Trade integrated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing ("MiMEP"). In contrast to the conventional system, where all works must be conducted on-site, AMSFS III, with application of the aforementioned technologies, is prefabricated, installed and tested in the factory. Given that it requires small footprint of less than 50m2, AMSFS III provides greater flexibility while reducing the negative impact on the surrounding environment, such as dust and noise pollution at site. The system is containerised and can be installed underground. On the cost and performance front, the fully automatic system has remote monitoring capability to reduce the number of operators needed, which is highly efficient and saves labour and maintenance costs.
AMSFS III has been applied in the Group's sewage projects in Mainland China, making significant contributions to the development of the country's wastewater treatment facilities. In particular, AMSFS III was utilised to remove partial suspended solid and total phosphorus in the Shiwuli River Jinzhai Road Initial Stormwater Reservoir Project located in Hefei city. The system enabled effluent to meet the discharge standard without post-filtration and reduced overall construction costs. The Group also deployed AMSFS III in the upgrade of the wastewater treatment facilities for the area along the Macao River in Anhui province, maintaining the effluent quality to achieve Grade A standard as defined in the "Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants".
Going forward, it is expected that small-scale and decentralised sewage treatment plants ("STPs") will be in high demand in remote villages and rural areas. Given its small footprint, AMSFS III will be a good fit for these areas. With the current Five-Year Plan of the People's Republic of China requiring the National Grade A discharge standard of STPs to be implemented under stringent environmental controls, new opportunities will emerge for small-scale and easy-to-transport sewage treatment systems.
About ATAL Engineering Group
Established in 1977, ATAL Engineering Group ("ATAL") is a leading electrical and mechanical ("E&M") engineering service provider headquartered in Hong Kong, with operations in Macau, Mainland China, the United States and the United Kingdom. Serving a wide spectrum of customers from public and private sectors, ATAL provides multi-disciplinary and comprehensive E&M engineering and technology services in four major segments, including Building Services, Environmental Engineering, Information, Communications and Building Technologies ("ICBT") and Lifts & Escalators.

A command line option to call your program and have it do the import of invoices into QuickBooks without prompting to map fields? I am looking for a way to have the import run from another program that will do the data export so I already know what the field mapping will be.
Sad to see no action on this request. Is there some other way to export/import automatically?
This would make Zed-Axis much more useable for us as we could have the end-user run the imports without having to have any technical knowledge.

Ek Main Aur Ek Tu
sputnik, July 1, 2012 July 1, 2012 , Interviews, 1
Composer Amit Trivedi and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya have no qualms walking around the streets of Juhu. "We are simple people, so it would be faking it. Present us the way we are," says Amit.
Amit Trivedi and Amitabh Bhattacharya met for the first time in 2002 at the house of a common music director friend Amartya. Amitabh was there to sing a jingle,while Amit was part of the music team. They hit it off instantly. "We are like-minded. Our backgrounds are similar," says Amitabh whose recent hits include Pyaar ki pungi (Agent Vinod) and Chikni Chameli (Agneepath).
Born in Mumbai but raised in Lucknow, Amitabh trained in classical music as a kid. He came to Mumbai in 1999 to makeit as a singer. On the other hand, Amit schooled in Mumbai and was influenced by the film music of the '70s and '80s.
Amit and Amitabh started their film careers around the same time in mid 2000s. "One has to be at the right time at the right place and meet the right people."
Amit's and Amitabh's work was first noticed in the film Aamir (2008). Amitabh penned a few songs for an album released by the band. Amit recalls, "Amitabh wanted to become a singer. So he didn't want to give his name as a lyricist. So, we put his pen name Indraneel."
Rhyme'n' rhythm
In Anurag Kashyap's Dev D (2009), Amit's music and Amitabh's lyrics created quitea ripple in the world of film music. Amit even bagged the National Award for the Best Music Composer for Dev D besides being honoured with the RD Burman trophy for best upcoming music talent at the Filmfare Award.
"There were not many buyers for Amit's kind of soundtrack. It was something fresh and different. For almost a year I had no work," says Amitabh.
However,after Dev D, Amit's and Amitabh's career took a 180 degree turn. From Aamir Khan to Yash Raj Films, everyone rooted for them. After Dev D, Amitabh too had production houses like Balaji (Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai),Yash Raj Films (Anjana-Anjani, Band Baaja Baraat) and Aamir Khan Productions(Delhi Belly) signing him up.
Fame'n' flak
As the lyrics of Aamir and Udaan suggest, there's serious poetry in Amitabh's writing. But in Band Baaja Baaraat, he showed his flair for the frolic (Ainvayi ainvayi) and his mastery over wordplay in D K Bose from Delhi Belly.
Whilethe audiences enjoyed D K Bose (composed by Ram Sampath), Amitabh received great flak for its double entendre. "Some people took the song seriously. It was pure fun. As a country, we need to develop a sense of humour," defends Amitabh.
Mutual admiration
Amitabh has mean while worked with popular composers like Pritam, Ajay-Atul and Ram Sampath but he is far more comfortable working with close friend Amit. Amitabh says, "Amit's tunes are new. He cracks them just about anywhere."
The duo has fun while working too. "Often, when we are not able to crack anything,we call our friends and go for a drive."
Future notes
More recently, Amitabh's item song Chikni Chameli, in Agneepath (music by Ajay-Atul) topped the music charts. He rues the fact that Amit doesn't compose item songs more often. On the other hand, Amit complains, "He keeps me hanging and doesn't give his songs on time."
Mentor Anurag Kashyap had once called Amit 'the poor man's AR Rahman'. "Rahman is the God of music. I'm following him since 1992. So if someone compares me even remotely to Rahman, it's a huge compliment. Amitabh, too has his share of laurels. He was recently awarded the National Award for Best Lyrics for I Am."
They both believe that these are great times for music. "Now people are listening to the music that is of the Oscar and Grammy level. Amitabh adds, "We think offbeat and that's where we score over others."

St. Louis came out blazing, scoring touchdowns on their first 2 possessions, and after 30 minutes of play, had a 24-6 lead. Then, inspired by an emotional, helmet-throwing Kyle Turley speech at half-time, it was the Saints turn to come out blazing.
Rookie Deuce McAllister opened the second half by taking the kick-off 46 yards. Two plays later, Brooks found Joe Horn who shook off two would-be tacklers and galloped off for a 46-yard strike. Afterward, during the Rams first possession of the second half, Sammy Knight picked off a Kurt Warner pass and returned it to the Rams 20. That turnover resulted in a 44-yard John Carney field goal. The Saints got the ball back yet again when a Dre Bly fumbled the kickoff and it was recovered by Fred McAfee on the Rams 18. Aaron Brooks turned that into a 6-yard TD strike to Joe Horn….. it was Joe's second of the day. After a failed 2-point try, the Saints had pulled to within 2.
New Orleans took the lead with a 49-yard Brooks to Willie Jackson bomb and later would add 3 more later in the quarter after another John Carney field goal. That field goal was set up by a Darren Howard interception. The pick-off screen pass came just as the Rams looked like they were building up steam and driving for another score. Howard returned it 37 yards to the Rams 23. Carney's field goal was the final scoring in a 3rd quarter that saw the Saints put up 25 unanswered points and 4 Ram turnovers. But the Rams weren't about the quit. Putting a drive together, they tied everything up at 31 after a 6 yard Torry Holt touchdown catch. Then, with 7:02 left in the game, Aeneas Williams jarred the ball loose from Rickey Williams after a savage hit at the Saints 40. The Rams took over and drove to the Saints 23. On third down, Freddie Thomas then came up with a huge play, stripping the ball loose from Trung Candidate. Chris Oldham scooped up the fumble and returned it to the Rams 36 with 4:00 minutes left in regulation. John Carney then finished the last Saint drive with his 5th field goal of the day, a 27-yarder that left 1 second on the clock and gave New Orleans the 34-31 win. The defense came up with 8 turnovers, 4 of them interceptions. Aaron Brooks finished with 3 touchdowns.
With time winding down, John Carney puts it through to down the St. Louis Rams and finish one of the greatest Saint comebacks ever.
So riding high after the 18-point comeback, the Saints made ready for the New York Jets on the first ever Prime Time ESPN game in Saints History. But instead of the anticipated battle between two playoff caliber teams, yet another entry in the annuals of Saint's lore would be written.
Losing 16-9, the most exciting moment of the game resulted in a total of 25 yards of penalties as the ever volatile Kyle Turley was flagged for a personal foul after ripping off Jet defender Damien Robinson's helmet and hurling it downfield. Robinson had Aaron Brooks in a headlock that was twisting the QB's head back so much Turley claimed he heard Brooks scream. In Turley's defense, he felt like he was protecting his quarterback after seeing him "getting his head turned around like the Exorcist". Turley drew an additional 10 yard penalty when he kicked the official's flag. When comparisons were made between this incident and the personal foul call in the Giants game, Turley's response claimed he didn't see a pattern. "I don't have an anger problem". Damien Robinson was fined $20,000, Kyle Turley $25,000 and agreed to attend counseling. Brooks finished with a stagnant 32.4 QB rating completing only 12 of 28 passes for 164 yards. Both of his interceptions came in the Jet's red zone. He was sacked 6 times and fumbled once.
Against San Francisco, problems continued. Super-Brooks hit the field and threw for 347 yards and 2 TD's while Ricky Williams added another 121 yards on the ground (his third 100+ yard game of the season). The offense finished with 488 yards. The only thing that was lacking was touchdowns. The Saints offense managed seven trips inside the 49er 32, but could produce only 2 touchdowns. John Carney's four field goals weren't enough. The usually stalwart defense couldn't deliver. A total of 28 missed tackles were recorded. San Francisco was able to run out the clock after they got the ball back on their own 28 with 3:39 left to play. On that last game-ending drive, Garrison Hearst killed any hopes of New Orleans coming back with 58 yards rushing on just 4 carries. 3 of those runs resulted in 49er first downs. Jim Haslett claimed that he saw many positives in the game that encouraged him.
The Saints then got things going against Jim Mora and his Colts. After falling behind 14-0, Aaron Brooks rallied the team and played near-flawless finishing the game with a 144 passer rating (19 of 22, 249 yards, 2 TDS). Ricky Williams had his fourth 100 yard day with 120 yards and Joe Horn added another 148 on 8 catches. Boo Williams had 2 catches for scores….. one was set up by a 63-yard Deuce McAllister kickoff return. Tom Brady had 4 touchdowns as we fell to New England in game 10. Down 20-0 by half-time, we never recovered, losing by a total of 34-17.
The Panthers then visited the Dome as fans were treated to your typical Saints/Panthers slugfest with us on the positive side of a 27-23 contest. Brooks had an exceptional day hitting 26 of 40 passes for 330 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was his third 300+ yard game of the season and the fourth of his career. Ricky Williams enjoyed his fifth 100+ yard of the season with 102 yards and Joe Horn had one of his best games with 13 catches (1 shy of the team record held by Tony Galbreath) and 150 yards, 1 TD. The defense came on strong with 8 sacks and holding the Panthers to but 150 yards of total offense.
Playoff hopes were kept alive with a huge win over Atlanta the next week. Rookie Deuce McAllister scored his first NFL touchdown on a 54 yard blast and even threw a 12 yard touchdown to Willie Jackson. Joe Horn had another fine day with 138 yards on 7 catches including a 50-yard TD strike. The defense once again dominated tying a team record of 9 sacks and 2 turnovers.

Government Ethics Watchdog Group Grades OC Municipalities on Campaign Spending Laws, Transparency
A recently released report from Citizens Take Action examined each Orange County city's rules and level of transparency when it comes to campaign spending on local elections, assigning letter grades to the municipalities. Photo: Shawn Raymundo
By Collin Breaux, Breeana Greenberg and C. Jayden Smith
How transparent are Orange County's cities when it comes to publishing election finance information?
That's what one watchdog group has tried to answer with its recently released report that examines each city government's rules and public accessibility when it comes to campaign spending on local candidates.
Citizens Take Action, which describes itself as a nonpartisan nonprofit that supports more civic engagement and robust government action, put out the new report card, which graded each municipality based on whether there are caps on candidate finances and how easily people can review the money behind elections.
In particular, the recent look at campaign finance spending in municipal elections was done to assess "the safeguards in place to protect city governments from undue influence by special interests, including contractors or developers seeking to do business in or with a city," the organization said in a news release.
Citizens Take Action founder David Burke elaborated further on the research in emailed responses to questions from San Clemente Times about the report and its findings.
Burke said that beginning in the summer of 2021, he and a team of interns found and read every ordinance passed by a city in Orange County pertaining to campaign finance laws or the reporting of campaign finance data.
The research team also looked at every city's official website to determine whether campaign finance data was present, how many years of data were available, and how easy it was to find the information from the home page.
"We defined 'easy' as in how easy is it for a member of the public to find the campaign finance data on their local elected officials and candidates through the city's official website," Burke said. "Cities that scored high on ease of access have an intuitive process by which visitors can find campaign finance data in two or three links and a couple of minutes."
The tri-city municipalities of Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano received varying grades. Whether the cities placed limits on the contributions that candidates could receive from individuals and political action committees (PACs), as well as the availability of information on candidates' campaign contributions, were factors in those grades.
Dana Point received the highest grade of the three towns, with a B-. San Juan Capistrano was in the middle range with a C+. San Clemente scored the lowest with a D-.
The report said Dana Point has a "strong" $810 limit on campaign contributions by individuals, but it has no limits on contributions or "unique prohibitions" or limits on campaign contributions from prospective city contractors.
"Dana Point received a perfect score—30 out of 30 possible points for the transparency of campaign finance data," the report said. "The information on candidates' campaign contributions and expenditures is easy to find on the city's website. The data also goes back to 2004, which covers every sitting elected official, as well as many former officials."
Burke said there is a link from Dana Point's homepage titled Fair Political Practices Reporting that "leads visitors to a wealth of information about candidates' campaign finance data, which is part of why the city received high marks for transparency."
"On the other hand, in some cities, the candidates' campaign finance data could only be accessed through a search for a specific form, which many voters would not likely be familiar with, or had links that simply did not work," Burke continued. "Those cities received low scores for ease of access."
In response to Citizens Take Action's findings, Dana Point City Clerk Shayna Sharke said the report shows the city "is committed to maintaining a transparent elections process by providing easily accessible information to the public online."
"Committee Campaign Financial Statements, required by the Fair Political Practices Commission, are hosted under the City Clerk's department page on danapoint.org and on file in the City Clerk's Office," Sharke said.
As for neighboring San Juan Capistrano, the report said the city has a $580 limit on individual contributions but also no limit on PAC contributions, unique prohibitions or limits on campaign contributions by prospective city contractors—or on developers seeking approval from local officials.
"The $580 limit on individuals does offer some protection against prospective contractors or developers using campaign contributions to curry favor with elected officials," the report said. "However, the absence of any limit on PACs makes local elections and government vulnerable to undue influence from large donors."
In terms of transparency on candidate finance data, San Juan scored 20 out of 30 points because such information was said to be "relatively" easy to find on the city website but only went back to 2020.
In an emailed statement, San Juan Capistrano City Manager Ben Siegel said city staff hasn't had the opportunity to review the report's findings or methodology in detail, as of this posting.
"The City of San Juan Capistrano complies with all state and federal campaign financial disclosure posting requirements. Campaign disclosure forms are available for review on the city's website and by contacting the City Clerk's office," Siegel said. "We will review the recommendations in the author's report, and any expansion of the city's campaign finance restrictions beyond legal requirements would be at the discretion of the City Council."
In San Clemente, the low D- score was attributed to numerous factors—including there being no monetary limits on contributions from individuals or PACs.
"San Clemente also does not have any prohibitions or limits on campaign contributions by prospective city contractors, or on developers seeking approval from local officials," the report said. "Nor is there a limited fundraising window during which candidates can raise money."
The report also said information about campaign finances is "not particularly easy to find" on the San Clemente city website. Campaign finance information goes back to 2018.
The San Clemente City Clerk's office referred inquiries related to the report to the city manager's office. As of this posting, city management had not responded to a request seeking comment.
San Clemente Councilmember Kathy Ward was first elected to the dais in 2014 and was reelected in 2018. Citing her own experience running for office the first time around compared to her reelection campaign, Ward said San Clemente has seen large PACs come to town, spending money on mailers smearing candidates.
"Recent elections saw almost weekly mailers sent to households that touted how corrupt city officials are and unfounded allegations the city was almost bankrupt," Ward said in an email. "There is a difference in the climate since I first ran for office."
She added that she wasn't aware donations from PACs could be limited, further explaining her belief that San Clemente "doesn't have these restrictions because there was no large PACs in our elections until the last (four) elections."
"They simply were not part of San Clemente elections, but I can tell you they are here now," she said.
Ward also applauded the nonprofit's report, which she acknowledged was timely, given it's an election year.
"Contribution or spending limits would minimize the special interest attacks on local representation and protect local residents' interests," she said.
General recommendations from the nonprofit include enacting campaign contribution limits of $1,000 or less on individuals, instituting a limit of $2,000 or less for PACs, and establishing a prohibition or campaign contribution limits of $500 or less on city contractors or developers before potential involvement with a municipality.
Citizens Take Action noted that most cities throughout Orange County received low marks in the report, with more than half graded as a D or worse. Lake Forest, in particular, scored a D, while Mission Viejo was rated an F.
"Only 44 percent of cities in Orange County have enacted campaign contribution limits on individuals. And only one city—Santa Ana—has enacted a campaign contribution limit on Political Action Committees," the nonprofit said. "The widespread absence of such limits makes cities vulnerable to undue influence from wealthy individuals, businesses, and labor unions."
Citizens Take Action wanted to focus on municipal campaign finance laws and transparency, because campaign contributions of "even a few thousand dollars" can have an "outsized influence" on local elections, which tend to be less expensive than state or federal elections, Burke said.
"Because there is no centralized resource for municipal campaign finance disclosures in California like there is for state or federal elections, it is important to highlight cities that make the information readily available versus those that do not," Burke said.
"Though state and federal elections get more media attention, municipal government makes a huge impact on our day-to-day lives," he continued. "Things like new housing developments in our neighborhood, traffic safety, or how much we pay for trash pickup are all determined in large part by the municipal government."
Based on the research done for the report, Burke recommended that residents who want to "find the money behind your city's elected officials and candidates" can start by looking at candidates' FPPC Form 460s—which has a record of their campaign contributions and expenditures.
Those forms can usually be found on a city's website, either under a link for campaign finance disclosures or somewhere through the city clerk's page, Burke said.
"Unfortunately, some cities do not post the 460 forms online or only post them for the current election cycle. In that case, calling or emailing the city clerk and requesting the 460, 496, and 497 forms from recent elections is your best bet," Burke said. "As dull as it may sound, looking at campaign finance data can be eye-opening."
"You may see that one candidate is funded largely by real estate developers and Political Action Committees, while another relies primarily on small donations from individuals," he continued. "Many candidates also self-fund their entire campaign. If you want to learn more about who your elected officials really are, look at the money behind their campaign."

Neale Marmon- He has been placed in caretaker charge at Huish Park. If he can impress during the games he is in charge for, he could potentially bag himself the full-time job.
Jerry Gill- The 48-year-old, who played for Yeovil in his playing days, is a contender for the job. He is currently impressing in charge of National League South side Bath City. Gill has also previously managed Weymouth in the past and has also held coaching roles with the likes of Bristol Rovers and Wolves.
Darrell Clarke- Could he get back into the dugout with the Glovers? He left his post as manager of Bristol Rovers in December after four years in charge there. Clarke guided the Pirates to back-to-back promotions from the National League to League One.
Paul Hurst- He has been linked with every job that has become available in the Football League this season. Hurst, formerly of Grimsby Town and Shrewsbury Town, has been looking for a new job since he was sacked by Ipswich Town in October. He is also a contender for the now vacant Scunthorpe United job now as well.
Russell Slade- If Yeovil want to opt for experience in their new manager then they could turn to a familiar face. Slade managed the Glovers from 2006 to 2009 and got them to the League One Play-Off final during his time there.

Bubby Makes Three: Craft with Kids -- Stamping!
Craft with Kids -- Stamping!
My daughter is into stamping at the moment. I bought her a sweet little stamp of a birdy from Tiger Tribe a while back, and whenever I pull it out (which I try not to do more than every week or so, so it's exciting every time) she goes nuts with it, stamping it over and over and over again for an hour at a time onto bits of paper. Stamping is a great, inexpensive art activity for kids; less messy than paint and entertains much longer than stickers! I've been meaning for ages to get her some new stamps, perhaps this one but in the meantime I came across this too-cool stamping idea using little more than a few old pencils and an ink pad!
Imagine the possibilities! I love this idea so much I think I might have to have a go myself, and I know Fern will be up for it. Her preschool teacher took me aside today to show me a painting Fern had laboriously worked on; spending a good half hour with a tiny paintbrush, meticulously filling in the template long after the other little kids had moved on to other activities. A tiny bit obsessive compulsive perhaps (like her mum) but Fern is starting to demonstrate some real aptitude toward art... which I want to foster and encourage!
this is a great idea. i'll be on the lookout now for a multi-coloured ink pad. fabulous!

The Order of Forgotten Mysteries #6: Icarus
By RadZakpak, Thursday at 01:21 AM in Story Discussion
RadZakpak
Hello, and welcome back to the Order of Forgotten Mysteries. Our pal @anonymous is on vacation, so today I will be your guide through the next forgotten mystery!
While Alpha Omega is blowing all of our minds with so many new revelations about old parts of the story... there are some loose threads still unaccounted for as the Aether Story meets its conclusion. One such thread we will be discussing today Icarus, Albert Arlington's plane from Mob of the Dead. More specifically, we are going to be discussing its mysterious appearances throughout Black Ops 3.
The Appearances
Mob of the Dead
Icarus was makeshift plane devised by none other than Alcatraz's local con artist AND comic book artist, Albert "The Weasel" Arlington. Sometime during their stay on Alcatraz Island, Sal Deluca, Finn O'Leary, and Billy Handsome attempted to follow Albert on a quest to escape The Rock. Unfortunately, Icarus failed to take flight, and the plan was ruined.
The name Icarus was given to the plane based on a comic book that The Weasel was creating during his stay at Alcatraz. It is also a reference to the Greek character of the same name, who, in the myth, attempted to escape imprisonment using a pair of wings given to him by his father. Only, Icarus flew too close to the sun, and the wax keeping his wings together came undone, sending him to his death... a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy there, Al.
Anyway, Albert was murdered by the other mobsters, and they were executed for their crimes. Inside Mob of the Dead's cycle, Al and the Mobsters relive the same night again and again, building the plane, crashing the plane, and dying while fighting the undead. Icarus is central to this cycle and the journey of the Mobsters.
Miraculously, Icarus appears once again in Shadows of Evil, flying through the sky after the players have completed the Easter Egg. Why, exactly? We do know that Icarus and thus the Mobsters of Mob of the Dead live in Dimension 63, the same Dimension as the four cursed survivors of Shadows of Evil. It does not seem that the Shadows of Evil crew are trapped in a cycle, but they are in an alternate version of Morg City corrupted by the Shadowman. They are all marked with a curse that keeps them alive, and forced to fight the undead. But what could Icarus have to do with this map, and specifically the end of the easter egg?
The Giant
Icarus appears once again, this time, however, it has landed on the roof of Teleporter B of The Giant. This is even more confusing than the last appearance. Who was its pilot, and where are they now? The Giant takes place in a fracture of the Original Timeline: a far cry from Dimension 63. Its reappearance is no coincidence.
Zetsubou No Shima
Zetsubou has a variety of planes flying through the air at any given time, a majority being Japanese war planes. Another plane is a massive cargo plane that is shot from the sky by Primis. But one plane in particular stands out, that being Icarus.
What is unique about this appearance is that it is one of many planes passing overhead, and also that the planes pass through portals as they arrive and disappear from the map. It seems this Island has caused a great deal of atmospheric rifts to occur. Ciphers mention freak atmospheric events, the disappearance of the explorers Brock and Gary due to their plane's destruction from an atmospheric anomaly, and Peter McCain jumping over the Rising Sun Facility into an aurora borealis that would eventually bring him to Gorod Krovi.
As far as we can tell, there are no other appearances after Zetsubou No Shima of the plane Icarus, outside of a drawing of it on the official timeline. Icarus does not even appear in Blood of the Dead. Interestingly, however, The Weasel did finally get his wings:
So what sense can be made of Icarus' three mysterious appearances? Why is each so unique? Who is flying that plane? How did it escape Alcatraz?
Pre-Blood of the Dead, my running theory regarding the plane was that it was being piloted by Primis minus Richtofen.
Evidence for:
- Its appearance in The Giant was the biggest tipping point to me. In The Giant it is landed, a sizable distance away from the Teleporter area where Primis comes together for the introduction cutscene where Ultimis Richtofen is shot. We know that Richtofen was traveling across dimensions in the time between Origins and The Giant using a teleporter located in the House, operated by Maxis. However, we do not know how the rest of Primis was travelling. Dempsey mentions having traveled to many places including Brazil and the Moon. It seems logical to me to conclude that Primis used the plane to travel, and because of its appearance in purgatory and The Weasel breaking the cycle, it has the ability to travel across dimensions.
- It flying over Shadows could be a sign that Primis have been trying to follow Richtofen across dimensions, and just missed his appearance at the end of the easter egg. They seem to have shown up at the Giant trying to stop Ultimis Richtofen from allowing Primis Richtofen to step through the teleporter, implying they've been tracking him.
Evidence against:
- Its appearance in Zetsubou does not really tie into this theory. Surely they would have remembered flying over the island once they return to it, right? Why would they go there in the first place? It could be that they were only there briefly as they passed through the portals, and it was only a bump in the road as they searched for their destination. For all we know, due to Zetsbou's strange atmospheric events, it may be like the midway point between dimensional travel.
- How would Primis have acquired this plane without travelling to Alcatraz? They make it pretty clear they don't recognize Alcatraz when they do eventually go to it.
Now, however, I would be more inclined to say that the plane is being controlled by the spirit of Albert Arlington. We know in Blood of the Dead he does eventually want to help Primis break the cycle and escape, and he is attracted to the Kronorium in some way by trying to steal it. It seems he knows somewhat about the reality of his situation, and due to breaking his own cycle he can send his plane through other dimensions and times to explore. Through this journey he may have learned a great deal about Primis and now realizes how important they are. This would explain why every plane appearance doesn't seem to have anyone piloting it. Also because he is a spirit who has broken the cycle, it would be a good explanation for it being able to travel. In a way, Al has been watching over us, wanting to help.

Ahahaha, exactly my thoughts.
Neat post here, friendo! To me Icarus remains one big questionmark, mainly because I simply do not understand the events of Mob, Shadows and Blood, though I noticed you excluded one reference to the plane. In Gorod Krovi, a cipher could be found, written by the one who was flying in it:
"It was a strange flight, the plane crashed. We passed through time and space, in a way, flying over areas that shouldn't have been there. Hmm, there was no sign of any remains. I do not know where it landed, honest."
While the identity of the aviator remains unknown, we can get some intel out of this:
He speaks of a 'we'
The location where the flyers are landed is not necasserily the same as the Giant, where the plane crashed.
The person is aware of timetravel
The person is aware they are flying through fractures, and the fact that they should be undone
The last two points remind me of Maxis or Richthofen, the latter in particular, possibly among with Primis or Ultimis. The plane originates from Alcatraz, more specific, the Cycle Trap Realm. But yeah, you mention Primis not recognizing Alcatraz upon entering it, which makes it hard for them having obtained the plane.
I am fairly unknown with the events of Blood. What is Al's role in this? Does Icarus and the Golden Gate appear in this map? How are the events of Mob connected with Blood?
11 minutes ago, anonymous said:
Surprisingly there isn't a whole lot related directly to Mob. But Al appears as a ghostly seagull that steals the Kronorium, but ends up. helping Primis defeat the Warden. Richtofen also calls two ghosts that try to restrain the Warden Sal and Finn. So it seems the mobster's ghosts still roam the island. But there is no sighting of Icarus the plane at all.

New York bartenders claim Long Island Iced Tea contest was 'rigged'
By Alexandra Deabler, Fox News

YouPorn offering 'once in a lifetime' proposal opportunity
New York bartenders are reportedly calling for an investigation after the state lost to Tennessee in a Long Island Iced Tea contest earlier this month.
Long Island, NY, bartenders are claiming the competition was rigged by the Visit Kingsport's tourism bureau and have accused the organization of fraud.
According to a news release, Butch Yamali, bartender and owner of Hudson's on the Mile in Freeport, NY, made the accusations after his team was excluded from location negotiations for the competition and had no say in judge selection.
Yamali also claimed the judges were not required to wear blindfolds during tastings, which they have done in previous contests.
The Long Island bartenders have said they spent tens of thousands of dollars to go to Washington DC for the competition, which they are now claiming is null and void due to favoritism.
"We embarked on this journey expecting fairness, but we got a rigged competition in order to deface the legacy of a good man, the true inventor of the Long Island Iced Tea, 'Rosebud' Butt, in the name of a cheap, false narrative from Kingsport, TN," Yamali said.
"I am calling for an investigation and will be in touch with Tennessee State Officials about their unethical conduct."
However, Visit Kingsport did not seem to be aware of Yamali — or the New York bartender's feelings on the matter.
"We have had a great relationship with Hudson's on the Mile and all of their staff who have been part of this for more than a year now. When I first saw this, I honestly thought this was just their way of trying to keep the competition going, so it's very unfortunate and disappointing if they really feel this way," Visit Kingsport post told WJHL in a statement.
According to the press release, the New York bar staff is exploring their legal options and intends on sending Visit Kingsport a cease and desist letter about claiming Tennessee won the contest.

Mornar got going with another fast start
Oct 15, 2020 by Eurocupbasketball.com Print
Ahead of every game, coaches and players will always emphasize the importance of starting well. From the opening tip, it's crucial to get on the front foot. They will say: find your rhythm, make life difficult for the opponent, and seize the initiative as quickly as possible. It's all about establishing momentum. Well, right now no team in the 7DAYS EuroCup is doing that better than Mornar Bar.
On Wednesday night, the Montenegrin team could not have possibly made a better start to its home meeting with Germani Brescia – a crucial encounter in the race for the Top 16 considering both teams came into the contest with 1-1 records.
The opening tip was won by Uros Lukovic. The ball fell to Aleksandar Lazic, who immediately passed it into the path of Lukovic and he raced straight to the basket and scored…with only 1 second off the clock. That wasn't all. A few seconds later, Nemanja Vranjes grabbed a defensive rebound and Mornar went in transition, which ended with Kenny Gabriel feeding Derek Needham for a three-pointer. 5-0, 39 seconds played, and all five players had already made meaningful contributions.
They kept on coming: Lukovic received a pass from Needham and scored again; Lazic grabbed a defensive rebound; Vranjes drew a shooting foul and converted a couple of free throws; Gabriel made a steal; Lazic hit a two-pointer from a Vranjes assist; Lukovic pulled in an offensive board and kicked it out to Vranjes, who made another three-pointer.
Amazingly, with less than 3 minutes gone, Mornar led the game 14-0 with four different starters already getting on the scoresheet…and the only exception was Gabriel, who changed that on the next possession by draining a three-pointer.
Starts really don't get much better than that.
The pace slowed somewhat after those frantic first 4 minutes – they could hardly be expected to maintain it – but Mornar still reached the end of the opening quarter with a 30-10 lead, setting a new club EuroCup record for points scored in the first quarter. The previous record had only stood for eight days because Mornar had also blasted 28 first-quarter points past Unicaja Malaga just last week.
This trend is very encouraging for Mornar Coach Mihailo Pavicevic, who should give himself a big pat on the back for his pregame pep talks – because whatever he is saying to his players in those final seconds before tip-off, it's obviously working.
