VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has attended a wreath-laying ceremony at a war memorial near the headquarters of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet as he wrapped up his visit to the Russian Far East following a summit with President Vladimir Putin.
Kim arrived at the memorial in Vladivostok on Friday. He took off his fedora and bowed after laying flowers at the memorial as a Russian military band played North Korea's national anthem.
Kim and Putin met on Thursday where the North says they held deep discussions to boost "strategic communication and tactical collaboration" over issues surrounding the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang's state media did not report on any specific agreement on North Korea's nuclear weapons program and sanctions against the North.

Are you married to someone that might be gay or lesbian?
My advice would be to handle things responsibly with your spouse, and be true to yourself, and be in communication with your spouse before you jump into another relationship. Don't let it get to the point where you're acting out and not dealing with what you're doing. Keep everything in service to the relationship you're currently in. I mean, you can't sit down and tell your husband or wife that you think you're gay without things getting messy. The chances are good that it's going to be messy and people may be upset.

To strengthen radiation biodosimetry services, an intercomparison exercise in cytogenetic biodosimetry was arranged. Twenty-two laboratories from different regions, including Hong Kong, in China participated. The intercomparison was based on determining the dose calculated from the frequency of dicentrics plus centric rings (dic + r) in metaphase lymphocytes. The exercise was organized by one laboratory where irradiation of the whole blood, culturing of the lymphocytes, and preparation of metaphase spreads on the slides were performed. The slides were then sent to the other participating laboratories for dicentric analysis. The main objective of this exercise was to compare the participating laboratory's ability to score chromosomal aberrations and their use in dose estimation. It was also intended to establish the Chinese network for estimating the biological dose for radiation exposure.
Conditions of exposure
Blood samples from two healthy donors aged 26 and 32 years (male and female, respectively) were collected in heparinized tubes. Each blood sample was divided into two aliquots, each for irradiation at 1.3, 2.4 Gy ( first sample) and 1.5, 2.6 Gy (second sample). The samples were irradiated in tubes with 60 Co γ-rays at a dose rate of 0.32 Gy/min in the Laboratory of Quality Control for Medical Exposure Equipment (International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA]/WHO Second Standard Dosimetry Laboratory, National Institute for Radiological Protection [NIRP]). The irradiated blood was placed at 37°C for 2 h to allow DNA repair.[1]
Lymphocyte cultures were performed according to the description in the IAEA-405 report and IAEA-2011.[2],[3] In brief, lymphocytes were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma, USA) enriched with fetal calf serum (20%). To 4 ml of culture medium containing 10 µg/ml phytohemagglutinin (Sigma), 0.04 µg/ml colchicine (Sigma), 100 IU/ml penicillin, and 100 IU/ml streptomycin, 0.8 ml of whole blood was added and mixed. The culture tubes were incubated for 52 h at 37°C. After hypotonic treatment with KCl (0.075 mol/L), the cells were harvested by Genial Cellsprint (Genial, UK). The lymphocytes were fixed with three fixative steps of methanol/acetic acid mixture (3:1, v: v). The slides were stained using Giemsa. Stained slides in simple blind method were sent to the participating laboratories through Express Mail Service.
Laboratory distribution for intercomparison
Twenty-two participants from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Prevention and Treatment Center for Occupational Disease, Colleges and Universities, Scientific Research Institute, Unit of Nuclear Industry, and a hospital in Hong Kong participated in this exercise. The locations of these participating laboratories covered 19 provinces or municipalities of China [Figure 1]. In the figure, the number delegated the laboratory number. Most of these laboratories are individually capable of offering cytogenetic/biological dosimetry services in the event of a situation when individuals are overexposed to ionizing radiation. As for the laboratories that need to further improve the estimated ability, NIRP will assist them in analyzing the causes and conduct the corresponding training and instruction.

Comparison of dicentric scoring
Initially, the yield of dicentrics scored for each sample was compared.[4] Two out of four samples were sent to the participating laboratories for intercomparison. Consequently, each sample was analyzed independently by 11 laboratories. Twenty-two laboratories participated in the scoring of dic + r and acentric aberrations, wherein each laboratory was requested to score a minimum of 100 dic + r or 1000 metaphases, or depending on the formula , the score number was requested for dose estimation. Most of the laboratories followed these guidelines.
The yield of dic + r per 100 cells was calculated by each laboratory [Figure 2]. The minimum value for L1 sample was obtained by laboratory 7 with 26.33 dic + r per 100 cells (dic + r/100 cells) and the highest value was observed by laboratory 3 (52.49 dic + r/100 cells). The mean value of all the 11 laboratories is 39.04 ± 6.41 dic + r/100 cells. Only two laboratories (3 and 7) reported a yield that exceeded 39.05 ± 6.41. The minimum value for C2 sample was obtained by laboratories4 and 9 with 14 dic + r per 100 cells (dic + r/100 cells) and the highest value was observed by laboratory 3 (22.52 dic + r/100 cells). The mean value of all the 11 laboratories is 17.37 dic + r/100 cells with a standard deviation (SD) of 2.75. Only three laboratories (3, 4, and 9) reported a yield that exceeded the magnitude of 17.37 ± 2.75.
Figure 2: Comparison of the observed yield of dicentrics for different laboratories. L1 samples were irradiated by 60Co γ-rays to 2.6 Gy (39.05 ± 6.41 dicentric per 100 cells). C2 samples were irradiated by 60Co γ-rays to 1.5 Gy (17.37 ± 2.75 dicentric per 100 cells). L2 samples were irradiated by 60Co γ-rays to 1.3 Gy (13.36 ± 2.97 dicentric per 100 cells). C1 samples were irradiated by 60Co γ-rays to 2.4 Gy (42.29 ± 7.95 dicentric per 100 cells)
The minimum value for L2 sample was obtained by laboratory 21 with 8.57 dic + r per 100 cells (dic + r/100 cells) and the highest value was observed by laboratory 17 (18.67 dic + r/100 cells). The mean value of all the 11 laboratories is 13.36 dic + r/100 cells with a SD of 2.97. Four laboratories (12, 15, 17, and 21) reported a yield that exceeded the magnitude of 13.36 ± 2.97. The minimum value for C1 sample was obtained by laboratory 19 with 32.5 dic + r per 100 cells (dic + r/100 cells) and the highest value was observed by laboratory 13 (53.8 dic + r/100 cells). The mean value of all the 11 laboratories is 42.29 dic + r/100 cells with a SD of 7.95. Five laboratories (13, 14, 16, 19, and 21) reported a yield that exceeds the value of 42.29 ± 7.95.
There were some discrepancies among the participating laboratories. Two types of intercomparisons were performed in this study: (1) The entire experimental process was evaluated, where blood samples were distributed to 22 participants. Processes such as blood culturing, lymphocyte harvesting, and chromosome preparation and analysis were handled by the individual laboratories or (2) partial experimental process was compared as timely delivery of the blood samples was not practically possible. In this case, the samples were processed on-site at NIRP to obtain fixed cell suspension and slide preparation less critical for transportation. Therefore, variation in culture conditions was expected by only one laboratory. Some discrepancies in the rate of dic + r were detected among participants. The main complaint from the different laboratories was on the poor quality of cells/metaphases as there was difficulty in scoring. The guidelines used by each laboratory in choosing scorable metaphases were found to be different.
Comparison of the estimated dose
The dose was derived from the yield of dic + r obtained from a dose-effect relationship plot. This calculation was done by all the laboratories for γ-ray exposure. The estimation of dose of γ-ray is shown in [Figure 3],[Figure 4],[Figure 5],[Figure 6] together with the 95% confidence limit of the dose estimated by each laboratory. The horizontal lines represent the physical dose delivered in each sample at ±20%.
Figure 3: Comparison between laboratories for dose estimation for L1 samples. Each point corresponds to a dose estimation ± confident interval. The two horizontal lines represent the physical dose 2.6 Gy ±20%
Figure 4: Comparison between laboratories for dose estimation for C2 samples. Each point corresponds to a dose estimation ± confident interval. The two horizontal lines represent the physical dose 1.5 Gy ±20%
From the second step of this intercomparison, it can be seen, as displayed in [Figure 3], that the estimation of the dose for all the laboratories except one laboratory for sample L1 was within this range. Most of the data fell within the exposed dose of 2.6 Gy within 20% range. Data for samples C2, L2, and C1 are shown in [Figure 4],[Figure 5],[Figure 6], respectively, where the dose estimations were within ±20% range. Even though the methods used to prepare chromosomes for biological dosimetry appear relatively similar to those described in the IAEA manual, each laboratory followed their own routine technique in which they are comfortable with. This adaptation may be a more critical component of sample preparation (from blood samples to slides) than for the dicentric scoring. It is possible that these factors might have contributed to the specific shape of the dose-effect calibration curve generated by individual laboratories. Distributing the prepared slides may significantly reduce the effect of blood preparation in this intercomparison. Less variations between the laboratories are anticipated based on the scoring methods. The scoring process depends on three main factors: Quality of chromosome spreads, selection of metaphases, and identification of dicentrics. Quality of metaphases decreases with increasing dose in our experience. It is possible that some metaphases with dicentrics might have been discarded by the scorers which could lead to an altered chromosome aberration distribution.[4],[5],[6]
There were several international intercomparisons reported earlier.[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11],[12] While Roy et al.[4] have also used the dic + r as indicator, the main criteria for their comparison was to evaluate the ability of the laboratories to distinguish between neutron and γ-ray exposures. Garcia et al.[5] used the dicentrics and micronuclei as biomarkers in their comparison exercise among five laboratories. Lindholm et al.[6] performed an interlaboratory comparison of FISH chromosome painting and to study the time course of translocations and dicentrics in three accident victims exposed to radiation. Few groups [9],[10],[11],[12] conducted several kinds of intercomparisons of different biomarkers such as chromosome aberrations, micronucleus, γ-H2AX, and gene expression. However, in our exercise, the ability of 22 laboratories to estimate the radiation dose was evaluated using dic + r which are biomarkers.
In our intercomparison exercise, 43 of 44 dose estimates were correctly calculated based on the dic + r frequencies by allowing 20% deviation. Only 1 of the 22 laboratories produced a result, which was beyond 20% range. In summary, the scoring from all the 21 participated laboratories were quite acceptable. In a large-scale radiation accident, the participating laboratories can facilitate the scoring of blood samples for dose estimation. Here, we successfully report the establishment of a Chinese biological dosimetry network for the first time.

E. Jurisdiction
1. This policy applies to all students and activities on University owned or controlled property; during any University-sponsored activity or the activity of a University-sponsored or recognized organization, regardless of location; when the behavior adversely impacts the University Community, or any persons or property on campus or University sites; or the orderly operation of the institution. Activities include, but are not limited to field trips, athletic events, and all co-curricular activities or theatre/music productions.
2. In general, the off-campus activities of students are viewed as their personal business. When a student is charged by federal, state, or local authorities with a violation of law, the University will not request or agree to special consideration for that individual because of their status as a student. If the alleged offense is also being processed under the Student Code of Conduct, the University may advise off-campus authorities of the existence of the Student Code of Conduct and of how such matters are typically handled within the University community. The University will attempt to cooperate with law enforcement and other agencies in the enforcement of criminal law on campus and in the conditions imposed by criminal courts for the rehabilitation of violators (provided that the conditions do not conflict with campus rules or sanctions). Individual students and other members of the University community, acting in their personal capacities, remain free to interact with governmental representatives as they deem appropriate. When a student violates local, state, or federal laws and/or violates the Student Code of Conduct, regardless of location, the University reserves the option of initiating and carrying out disciplinary action on its own.
3. The student disciplinary process is fundamentally different from the criminal legal process, with differing purpose, objectives, procedures and standards of proof and potential learning outcomes.
4. Determinations made or sanctions imposed under the Student Code of Conduct shall not be subject to change because criminal charges arising out of the same facts giving rise to violation of University rules were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of or against the criminal law defendant
F. Student's Rights and Responsibilities: This Code outlines the procedures to be followed by the University.
1. Respondents charged with violations of University regulations have the following rights.
a. Written notice to include:
1. Time, location, and/or other relevant information regarding the conduct violation(s);
2. Reference to the particular section(s) of the Student Code of Conduct that is/are alleged to have been violated;
3. The information regarding an educational conference to be scheduled no earlier than three days from the date of the notice unless requested by the student; and
4. Where the Student Code of Conduct and the Hearing Procedures may be found.
b. The opportunity to provide input about whether a Campus Hearings Officer or the Student Hearings Committee will hear the case;
c. The right to be accompanied by an advisor when the student is presenting information to the Hearings Officer or Student Hearings Committee or presenting information in any other context to University officials as a part of the student conduct process;
d. The opportunity to review all information being considered at a conduct hearing;
e. The opportunity to have witnesses relevant to the case at hand and/or documents in support of the student's defense;
f. The opportunity to appeal (see Section I. Appeals).
2. Respondents have the following responsibilities:
a. To appear at the designated time and place for an educational conference or hearing to answer the complaint(s) filed. Failure to appear at the educational conference or hearing will result in the Hearings Officer or Student Hearings Committee issuing a decision based on the information available;
b. To meet with a Campus Hearings Officer or Coordinator, or her/his designee, to review hearing policies and procedures during an educational conference;
c. To provide a list of all witnesses who will appear on the student's behalf to the Hearings Officer or Student Hearings Committee at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled conduct hearing.
d. To maintain civil decorum during the conduct process.
3. Complainant's Rights
a. A complainant has the right to have an advisor or advocate accompany them when they are presenting information to the Hearings Officer or Student Hearings Committee or presenting information in any other context to University officials as a part of the student conduct process.
b. A complainant has the right to request to be permitted to present their side of the story in a separate room from the respondent at the conduct hearing so long as the process, as a whole, does not unduly compromise the respondent's right to have the Hearings Officer or Chair of the Student Hearings Committee ask the complainant questions.
c. A complainant has a right to submit an impact statement to the Hearings Officer or Chair of the Student Hearings Committee for consideration in the sanctioning phase of the conduct process only. The statement may include a description of how the complainant was impacted by the behavior and may include recommendations for sanctions, penalties, or restitution. The Hearings Officer or Student Hearings Committee, however, is not bound to impose the recommended sanctions.
d. Where the respondent was alleged to be responsible for conduct which, if proven, would constitute any of the following offenses or attempts to commit the following offenses: arson, assault, burglary, criminal homicide, destruction/damage/vandalism of property, kidnapping, robbery, forcible sex offences, non-forcible sex offenses (incest or statutory rape), the complainant has a right to be notified of the final results that will include:
1. the name of the student,
2. the violation with which the student was charged,
3. whether the student was found "responsible" or "not responsible," and
4. any sanction(s) imposed.
G. Due Process: Procedural fairness is basic to the proper enforcement of all University regulations. No conduct action shall be initiated against students or student organizations until they have been notified in writing of the charges against them and their rights under this Code, and given the opportunity to be heard (except in the event of potential harm to the welfare of self or others as indicated in Emergency Actions section:
1. The Senior Hearings Officer, or designee(s), shall insure that the best interests of students and student organizations are served, regardless of whether conduct action is taken.
2. All University regulations and policies pertaining to student conduct shall be promulgated in such a manner as to furnish adequate notice.
3. Regulations and conduct sanctions affecting the conduct of students shall be based on general principles of equal treatment.
4. All parties will be afforded a prompt, fair, and impartial process from the initial investigation to the final result.
H. Procedures for Complaints and Educational Conferences, Hearings, Potential Sanctions, and other University Actions
1. The Senior Hearings Officer is responsible for coordination of the University's student conduct program. The Senior Hearings Officer shall designate a Student Conduct Program Administrator who will coordinate the activities of the student conduct process. University housing conduct is administered by the Residence Life staff (see Residence Life Room and Dining Contract for further information regarding this process), but such matters will also be referred to the Office of Student Affairs when a student's status at the University must be reviewed or when the conduct is of an egregious nature. The Student Conduct Program Administrator and Coordinator(s) shall be responsible for maintaining conduct records. These records may include a summary of the proceedings, results, and the appointed hearings officer/committee acting on the case.
2. Conduct proceedings at the University do not mirror courtroom proceedings. At a conduct hearing, civil and criminal rules of evidence do not apply. Hearings regarding sexual misconduct and/or heard by the Student Hearing Committee may be recorded or transcribed.
3. Decisions of "responsible" or "not responsible" regarding the charge(s) shall be based on the information presented at the hearing. The Hearings Officer or Student Hearing Committee shall determine whether or not the student has violated the Student Code of Conduct as charged based upon the appropriate standard of proof. The appropriate standard of proof shall be "more likely than not" that the behavior occurred. This means that the information presented supports the finding that it was more likely than not that the violation occurred.
a. Procedures for Complaints and Educational Conferences
1. Alleged violations of the Student Code of Conduct may be reported to the Office of Student Affairs by any member of the community.
2. The Student Conduct Program Administrator or Coordinator in Residence Life (if incident occurs in or within close proximity of the residence halls) will review the information to determine if the University will charge the student with violating the Student Code of Conduct.
3. If at any time during the course of the process the Senior Hearings Officer's designee(s) determines that either charges are not warranted or that insufficient evidence exists to continue, then the charges may be withdrawn, and the student will be notified in writing.
4. If the complaint is forwarded for a hearing, the Student Conduct Program Administrator or Coordinator will afford the respondent the opportunity of an educational conference with a campus hearings officer. The hearings officer will review the allegations and charges, the Student Code of Conduct, the hearing options, the student conduct process, possible sanctions, the student's rights and responsibilities as proscribed in this Code of Conduct, with the respondent and answer questions.
5. If the respondent elects to have the case heard by a Campus Hearings Officer, the hearing will proceed at that designated time. If the respondent elects to have the Student Hearings Committee hear the case, it will be referred back to the Student Conduct Program Administrator to arrange for a hearing. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five or more than fifteen calendar days after the student has been notified of the complaint. Maximum time limits for scheduling of hearings may be extended at the discretion of the Student Conduct Program Administrator. The Administrator will work with the Hearings Officer or the Student Hearings Committee to arrange hearings and determine the subsequent appropriate institutional response.
6. All parties may have counsel or an advisor to serve as advisors at their own expense. However, the counsel or advisor shall not speak on behalf of the student, question witnesses, present information or argue on behalf of the student.
7. Hearings options are: 1) Campus Hearings Officer presiding; or 2) Student Hearings Committee presiding.
8. In the event of a sexual misconduct hearing, if the respondent chooses the Campus Hearings Officer option to preside over the case, two hearings officers will be present to hear the case. In addition, the complainant will be notified in writing of the outcome of the hearing, including sanctions and timelines, and any appeals and the resultant outcomes.
b. Student Conduct Hearings before a Campus Hearings Officer.
1. Conduct Hearings shall not be open to the public.
2. Hearings Officers are charged with:
i. Making findings of fact;
ii. Determining if the student has violated the Code(s);
iii. Dismissal of the case; and/or
iv. Imposing any sanction listed in this Code.
c. Student Conduct Hearings before the Student Hearings Committee.
1. The respondent and the Student Conduct Program Administrator may arrange for witnesses to present pertinent information to the Student Hearings Committee. Witnesses will provide information to and answer questions from the Student Hearings Committee.
2. The Student Hearings Committee is charged with:
iii. Recommending dismissal of the case; and/or
iv. Recommending any sanction listed within the Student Code of Conduct to the Student Conduct Program Administrator or designee.
3. The respondent shall appear along with witnesses and other parties requested to be in attendance by the Student Hearings Committee. Questions may be suggested by the respondent and/or Complainant to be answered by each other or by other witnesses at the discretion of the Student Hearings Committee chair.
4. A secretary may record information presented, accept information, statements, and prepare a summary of the Student Hearings Committee's findings. After the conclusion of the hearing, every effort will be made to issue a written decision in a timely fashion by the Student Conduct Program Administrator.
5. Regardless of the nature or type of hearing, the respondent will be given an opportunity to provide information. This may include, but is not limited to, pertinent records, documents, written or oral statements. The student will also be given an opportunity to inspect records that have been submitted regarding the specific case.
6. If a witness cannot appear, the witnesses written or taped statement may be considered. Witnesses will be required to wait outside until their point of participation and asked to leave the hearing after being questioned.
d. Potential Sanctions. The following sanctions may be rendered as a result of a conduct hearing:
1. Mandated counseling assessment and/or recommendations for completed treatment.
2. Restitution: Reimbursement a) by dollar amount, b) by transfer of property, or c) by provision of services to the University or a member of the University community in accordance with the nature of the violation in an amount not to exceed actual expenses, damages, or losses incurred.
3. Required Educational Activities: Mandatory participation in educational activities and any associated fees.
4. Warning: Notice to a student that the student's conduct or actions are in violation of the Student Code of Conduct. The continuation of such behavior may result in further action.
5. Probation: Probation will include observation and review of behavior and demonstrated compliance with the Student Code of Conduct. A student on probation is not in "good standing" with the University. Students on probation, who are found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct again are subject to more severe disciplinary actions.
6. Loss of Privileges: Denial of specified privileges for a designated period of time, consistent with the violation(s) committed.
7. Residence Hall Suspension: Separation from the residence halls for a designated period of time, after which the student is eligible to return. Conditions of readmission may be specified.

Hold on Student Record: The Student Conduct Program Administrator, Student Conduct Coordinator, or designee, may place a hold on the records or registration of any student who fails to fulfill any sanctions issued by the University. The Administrator or Coordinator may take other action necessary for resolution of a case prior to the student's enrollment in a subsequent term, transfer or graduation. All pending conduct matters must be resolved prior to a student's graduation from the University.
2. Mediation, voluntary participation in a facilitated discussion with the complainant, may be appropriate in certain cases and may be strongly recommended.
I. Appeals
1. Following a conduct hearing, the respondent and a student complainant has the right to an appeal.
2. Appeals shall be made to the Vice President for Student Affairs within five working days after notice. The appeal shall be in writing, stating the ground(s) for appeal. The Vice President for Student Affairs may do any of the following:
a. review all information presented at the hearing and consult with the campus hearings officer or student hearings committee chair at his/her discretion,
b. return the case to the original hearing body for reconsideration,
c. alter the findings and/or sanctions imposed by the original hearing body, or
d. determine that the original findings and/or sanctions stand.
3. The Vice President for Student Affairs will make a decision within five working days after receipt of appeal. The Vice President's decision is final. Appeals for violations in the residence halls shall be conducted as identified in the Residence Life Room and Dining Contract.
4. Appeals must be based on the issue of substantive or procedural errors which are prejudicial and which were committed during the educational conference, meeting, or hearing.
a. The specific grounds to be addressed on appeal are:
1. Were the procedures of the Student Code of Conduct followed?
2. If a procedural error occurred, were the rights of the respondent/student complainant or organization violated to the extent that the respondent/student complainant or organization did not receive a fair hearing?
3. Was the hearing conducted in a way that did not permit the respondent/student complainant or organization adequate notice and the opportunity to present its version of the facts?
4. Was the information presented at the hearing sufficient to justify the decision reached?
5. Was there relevant information existing at the time of the hearing that would have affected the outcome that was not discovered until after the hearing?
6. Are sanctions disproportionate to the violation and previous disciplinary history of the student?
b. Sanctions shall not begin until either the time for appeal has expired without an appeal, or until the appeal process is exhausted. The Vice President for Student Affairs, or designee(s) may impose sanctions during the appeal process to ensure the safety and well-being of members of the University community or preservation of University property.
J. Emergency Action: Any interim measure may be taken at any time. Notice of interim measure shall be provided to the student or student organization in writing.
1. Interim Suspension: The Vice President for Student Affairs may initiate a temporary suspension of a student or student organization when it is determined that there is an imminent threat or that a student's presence negatively affects the health, safety or welfare of the University community or a member of the University community.
2. Restrictions on Activity: The Vice President for Student Affairs may restrict a student's or student organization's activities when it is determined that the health, safety or welfare of a student or member of the University community is at risk. Restrictions on activities may include, but are not limited to: registering or attending class; accessing or contacting certain individuals (no contact order); accessing University property, facilities, resources or equipment; participating in University activities, organizations or student activities.
3. Appeal of Interim Measures: The student or student organization has the opportunity to submit a written request for a hearing regarding the interim measures to the Vice President for Student Affairs. If requested, the hearing will be conducted within three business days of the receipt of the written request. The scope of this hearing is limited solely to the interim measures.
4. Student Enrollment Status: If a student's enrollment status is changed as a result of an interim measure, but the student is subsequently found not responsible for the violation, the University shall correct any record of the change in enrollment status in the student's permanent records and other reports in a manner compliant with State and Federal laws.
K. Student Conduct Records: Disciplinary records of students will be destroyed pursuant to the University records retention schedule governing institutional records. For all complaints, a conduct file will be created and secured by the Office of Student Affairs. Other than expulsion, conduct sanctions shall not be made part of the student's permanent academic record, but shall become part of the student's conduct record.
1. For those sanctions at the level of Probation the student will be considered not in "good standing" with the University for the duration of the sanction. Multiple sanctions may be imposed where appropriate. Disciplinary Probation shall involve written notice that is to be kept in the student's conduct file.
2. Disciplinary Suspension shall involve removal of privileges to enroll at the University for a specified period of time and there shall be a written notice that is to be kept in the student's conduct file. There shall also be a Disciplinary Hold placed on the student's electronic record. After the period of suspension has expired and the student has met all proscribed obligations, the Disciplinary Hold will be removed. A student suspended for misconduct and wishing to return to the University after the suspension period must contact the Vice President for Student Affairs to discuss returning to the University.
3. Disciplinary Expulsion shall involve permanent removal of privileges to enroll at the University and there shall be a written notice kept in the student's conduct file. A Disciplinary Hold will be placed on the student's electronic record.
4. Student conduct records of students who have not yet responded to allegations will remain active. Once they have responded, the records are retained in accordance with the procedures above.
5. Disciplinary files are treated as "educational records" under the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and may be viewed only by those who "need to know" such information in the context of their official duties, as determined by the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee(s). Otherwise, content of the file may be released to others only with consent of the student whose name is on the file.
L. Expungement of Student Conduct Records
1. A component of the University Student Code of Conduct philosophy is that students can and do learn from their interactions with the student conduct process and that self-reflection and self-knowledge produces change in individuals.
2. Expunged records are only released as required by law. When a student's record is expunged, the record will not be shared with the requesting agency as part of the Dean Certification Process. It is important to note that a student with an expunged record may still need to disclose information regarding their past disciplinary history at the University to a third party including a potential employer, another university through the admissions process, or a professional governing body, based on the questions being asked by the organization as part of their admissions or intake process.
3. Expungement Process.
a. Students may apply to have their disciplinary record expunged if all the following criteria have been met:
1. The case did not involve academic dishonesty or expulsion,
2. The case did not involve violence, threats of violence, sexual misconduct, or any form of harassment,
3. Two years have passed since the conclusion of the sanctions,
4. The highest level primary sanction imposed is disciplinary probation or a warning, and
5. The student has a single disciplinary violation in their record.
b. Once two years have passed from the conclusion of the sanctions, a student may complete an "Application for Expungement." Letters of recommendation, a transcript, as well as other supporting material may also be required.
c. The Vice President for Student Affairs, in consultation with the Student Conduct Program Administrator(s), and other campus departments will review each application and determine if expungement is warranted based on the applicant's contributions to the community, their academic record and their continued lack of disciplinary records.
d. The student will be notified of the outcome of the application in writing within four weeks (20 working days).
e. If an expungement is granted, the record will be maintained pursuant to the University records retention schedule governing institutional records but not reported as a disciplinary violation.
f. If after a record is expunged the student is found responsible for another violation of the Student Code of Conduct then the expunged record will be removed from the expunged list and it becomes active again.
M. Review and Revision of Policy
1. This policy will be reviewed at least every two years by the Director of Student Relations. This policy is the responsibility of the Vice President for Student Affairs.

When we looked at the countdown sheet on the front door of the Osprey Team Store – which says 47 days until Opening Day, which means the home opener, of course – it made us remember that the season opens up in 45 days – three 15-day blocks to go before the O's play in Helena. Time is growing short!
– Take note of the draft notes from Nick Piecoro on this entry. The D-backs have the 3rd and 7th picks in next month's MLB First-Year Player Draft, so keeping an eye on some of these guys will help as we draw closer to the draft.
– Ah, the AZ SnakePit getting the minor-league update out there. We usually don't link to it, but we figured it would be better to see the assessment of some of the former Osprey from the views of others.
– Paul Goldschmidt was pitched to last night – and had two hits, including his 10th home run of the season. That was the good news – the bad news was that he also struck out twice in the 7-6 loss to Tennessee. That said, Goldie's numbers – .337 BA, .487 on-base, .730 slugging (which makes for a 1.218 OPS), five doubles, 10 HR, 25 RBIs, three steals and 27 walks with 17 strikeouts in 26 games.
– Triple-A Reno: The Aces lost to Las Vegas, 5-3. No former Osprey played in the game.
– Double-A Mobile: In addition to Goldie's night mentioned above, Ollie Linton (2008) went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a RBI, while Kyle Greene (2008) walked in his BayBear debut, as a pinch-hitter.
– Class A Advanced Visalia: The Rawhide found their way back to the .500 mark with a 6-5 win over San Jose. Christian Beltre (2007) pitched a scoreless eighth inning to get the win, while Yonata Ortega (2007) cruised through the ninth to claim his fourth save of the season. Visalia – now 5-1 since Jason Hardtke was ejected from a game last week – won it on a "Neon" Keon Broxton (2009) eighth-inning home run. Mike Belfiore (2009) allowed three unearned runs on seven hits and three walks, while fanning seven batters in five innings. Broxton and Chris Owings (2009) had two hits each for the Rawhide.
– Class A South Bend: The SilverHawks lost at Dayton, 4-2, on Thursday. JR Bradley (2010) pitched into the sixth inning, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and a pair of walks, but had nearly no support from his offense. Eury De La Rosa (2009) pitched a scoreless ninth – the Hawks' bullpen has allowed just two earned runs in their last 32 2/3 innings of work. Ender Inciarte (2009) had two hits for the Hawks, while Bobby Stone (2008-10) added a single. By the way – former Billings Mustang Billy Hamilton is still terrorizing pitchers and catchers on the basepaths – he stole his 21st base last night (in 25 tries), which is amazing to do in 25 games with an OBP of only .302.
AAA Reno (16-11) at Salt Lake City … they'll play five games in four days, weather-permitting.
AA Mobile (16-10) vs. Tennessee – Charles Brewer (2009) makes his first start since coming off of the DL for the BayBears tonight.
A Adv. Visalia (14-14) at Modesto. Eric Smith (2009) will get the start tonight for the Rawhide.
A South Bend (9-17) at Dayton – David Holmberg (2010) will get the start tonight for the Hawks.

FGE participates in 'Walk a Mile in Her Shoes'
FGE is proud to have participated in WALK a MILE in HER SHOES, a community-wide rally and walk in support of victims of sexual violence and abuse. Now in its fifth consecutive year, we are especially proud of our founder, Richard Fitzburgh, for walking a mile in towering heels alongside Gary Macnamara, the walk's founder and police chief of Fairfield, CT for many years.
The one mile walk benefits The Center for Family Justice in Bridgeport, CT, which helps survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse and helps thousands each year with a full range of services. The walk is noteworthy for the number of men who join the march wearing women's footwear as an expression of solidarity during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The message of this powerful walk is clear: Sexual assault and abuse and the vestiges of rape culture are not just women's issues. Men and boys play a vital role in breaking the cycles of violence. This aligns perfectly with the mission of the foundation to help end gender based violence and discrimination, and to equally involve men and women to achieve this goal!

Over the next several weeks, I'll be working with Denise Jarvie's The Secret Language of Light deck to deliver intuitive messages for your contemplation. Take what serves you, and leave the rest! If you'd like to pick a card for next week's reading, follow us on Instagram for the next Intuition Friday post on 2/15/2019!
What are the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from expanding into your fullest potential with ease and grace? Our inner world creates our outer reality. You don't have to compete or keep up with anyone else's pace, but you DO need to take your own action, and open yourself to your own truth. The messages that you have been programmed with in the past, are not who you are today. There is nothing standing in your way.
It is time to open yourself to expanded intuition and consciousness. Pay attention to those "gut feelings', and develop your awareness and sensitivity by keeping a dream journal and meditating. Allow your consciousness to begin to channel the messages that the universe has for you.
Where are you in need of more alignment? In what areas of your life has Ego taken over, leading you to keep doing what you "ought" to do? In many ways, we allow Ego to tell us that we have to do certain things, in a certain way, at a certain time, to live up to our own expectations or the expectations of others. Meanwhile, our Soul is crying out with a need to be nourished and nurtured. Turn off all the external, Ego-driven influences and STOP. Listen to what your Soul is telling you. What do you need to do or stop doing to fully integrate, and resonate with your Soul's higher purpose?
Your wisdom is actually everything that has been on my mind lately! I've been tempted to buy a new deck of something lately. I haven't worked with one since I was a kid. My mom was amazing with a tarot deck when I was a kid.Thanks!!


Silver Falls State Park has ten main waterfalls that are named. I think there's an eleventh that is also named, and while it's on the map, it's not one that you might go searching for. It ends up that there are many other smaller waterfalls in the park. Since they're smaller, they haven't been named, and some logically so.
There's one "unnamed" waterfall, though, that is pretty tall and prominent, and if you're walking around on the Ten Waterfalls Trail, it's pretty hard to miss. (That's assuming that there's water flowing, which isn't a crazy assumption in Oregon, unless it's really dry.) This waterfall is about 15-20′ tall or so, and because the other waterfalls around it are taller or wider, it probably got lost in the shuffle. Or maybe it has a name, but it's been kept a secret. It's not Hidden Falls, since it's the exact opposite of hidden. As you're walking along the trail, it's on the direct opposite side of the river staring you in the face. So don't forget "Captain Obvious Falls" the next time you visit Silver Falls State Park (which must have not been that obvious if you didn't notice it the first time!).
You can park at either the South Falls or North Falls parking areas. The South Falls parking area is larger, and the Waterfall Trail leads you past all of the falls.
Where in the World is the Waterfall in Silver Falls State Park?


That is, with towering walls.
22 "Further, at Tabʹe·rah,+ at Masʹsah,+ and at Kibʹroth-hat·taʹa·vah,+ you also provoked Jehovah to anger. 23 When Jehovah sent you out of Kaʹdesh-barʹne·a+ and said, 'Go up and take possession of the land that I will certainly give you!' you again rebelled against the order of Jehovah your God,+ and you did not exercise faith+ in him and did not obey him. 24 You have rebelled against Jehovah ever since I have known you.

Pick Seeds for Flavor and Health
www.environmentalnutrition.com
Sharon Palmer
Since the beginning of time, humans have followed the lead of birds by gathering edible seeds for sustenance. Anthropologists believe that our ancient ancestors probably collected and ate just about any seed that wasn't poisonous, storing them away for use all year long.
To this day, seeds are a popular food source in cultures around the world, from sesame seeds, which are ground into a paste used in Mediterranean dishes, to chia seeds, which are used as "running food" by athletes in South America. While our repertoire of edible seeds is fairly limited, some other cultures eat a much wider variety, including exotics like lotus and papaya seeds.
What is a seed?
Seeds are essentially the embryo of a plant, with some stored "food" to provide for its growth, and an outer covering to protect it. Botanically speaking, edible seeds include grains such as wheat, barley and rice; legumes, including beans, lentils and peas; and nuts, like walnuts, almonds and pistachios.
Some edible seeds, such as mustard, coriander, and poppy seeds, are categorized as spices, because they possess potent flavor in tiny amounts. So, in our culinary and nutrition lexicon, edible seeds are those like chia, flax, hemp, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower.
Growing strong nutrition
Considering that every seed holds the magic of a new plant, they're packed with nutrients, which include protein, low-glycemic carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Studies have linked eating certain seeds with reductions in blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels, as well as anticancer and bone protection activity.
While each seed possesses a different nutritional profile, they do have many things in common:
1. Protein. Edible seeds are a good source of protein, containing 4-9 grams of protein per ounce - comparable to animal protein, which provides about 7 grams of protein per ounce. Seeds can be an important source of protein for people who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet, or struggle to meet their protein needs.
2. Healthy fats. These tiny powerhouses are rich in healthy fats, comprised of relatively low amounts of artery-clogging saturated fat, and high amounts of heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Some seeds - chia, flax, hemp - also are rich sources of the plant omega-3 fatty acid known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is linked with heart health.
Hemp contains the rare fatty acids gamma-linolenic acid and stearidonic acid, which have been linked in preliminary research to health benefits, such as lowered blood pressure. In addition, many seeds contain phytosterols, compounds similar to cholesterol that block the absorption of cholesterol in the body.
3. Fiber. Many seeds are rich sources of fiber, providing at least 10 percent DV (Daily Value, based on 2,000 calories/day). For example, flax seeds contain 8 grams of fiber per ounce - providing 32 percent DV. And that's not all; seeds also contain lignans, a special kind of fiber shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
4. Slow-digesting carbs. Seeds contain moderate amounts of carbohydrates, but because they are accompanied with fat, protein and fiber, their glycemic index is generally low. Thus, including them in your diet can help you feel full longer.
5. Vitamins and minerals. These tiny gems are also stocked with an array of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamins E and K, calcium, iron and zinc. Many of these micronutrients, such as vitamin E and selenium, are powerful antioxidants.
Eat like a bird
If you want to reap the crunchy, nutritious benefit of seeds, follow these tips:
Shoot for ½ -1 ounce of seeds (about 1-1/2-3 tablespoons) every day.
Sprinkle seeds in your morning breakfast cereal.
Stir seeds into baked goods batter, such as muffins, waffles, cookies, or breads.
Grind flax seeds to make their nutrients more available to your body.
Toss seeds into salads for crunch and flavor.
Mix seeds into stir-fries for nutty flavor and texture.
Try seed butters, such as sunflower seed and hemp, as a spread or in cooking.

The tradition of the Cornish 'Hevva' cake originates from the pilchard fishing communities. When the fisherman were out at sea, a watchman, known as a 'Huer' would stand on the edge of the cliffs to look out for the pilchard shoals. When he spotted a shoal he would call out 'Hevva! Hevva!' to help the fishermen locate the fish. When the wives at home heard the Huer's cries they knew their husbands would be home shortly. The wives would then make a quick cake full of currants and scored with a criss-cross design to resemble a fishing net full of fish, which would feed the fishermen on their return.
