"You dear, lovely little thing!" said Zelia. "Will you stay with me? If
you will, I will love you always."

"Ah, Zelia, see what you have done!" laughed the hermit. At that
instant, the white dove vanished, and Prince Cherry stood there, as
handsome and charming as ever, and with a look of kindness and modesty
in his eyes which had never been there before. At the same time, the
hermit stood up, his flowing hair changed to shining gold, and his face
became a lovely woman's face; it was the Fairy Candide. "Zelia has
broken your spell," she said to the prince, "as I meant she should, when
you were worthy of her love."

Zelia and Prince Cherry fell at the fairy's feet. But with a beautiful
smile she bade them come to their kingdom. In a trice,they were
transported to the prince's palace, where King Suliman greeted them with
tears of joy. He gave back the throne with all his heart, and King
Cherry ruled again, with Zelia for his queen.

He wore the little gold ring all the rest of his life, but never once
did it have to prick him hard enough to make his finger bleed.

An Air Force lieutenant colonel whose conviction for sex assault was overturned by a three-star general has been assigned to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., officials said.

Lt. Col. James Wilkerson, a former inspector general at Aviano Air Base, Italy, will serve as the 12th Air Force's chief of flight safety, said Mike Dickerson, a spokesman for the Air Force Personnel Center.

“The assignment was based upon his qualifications and the needs of the Air Force,” Dickerson said in an email.

The position requires a flight-rated officer, such as Wilkerson, said Capt. Justin Brockhoff, a spokesman for 12th Air Force

“The position does not currently rate any airmen,” Brockhoff said.

As chief of flight safety, Wilkerson's responsibilities will include managing the “programs relating to policies and procedures of flight safety” as well5. How the DAWA works

lots, others see a future that includes new stores, homes, a civic plaza and a city park.

Those are among the ideas included in the LaSalle Square area redevelopment plan, crafted in 2008 by the city with help from community residents and consultants.

The work included a market analysis and demographic study of the area along Bendix Drive near Lincoln Way West on the city's northwest side. The planning included participation by nearby residents and property owners.The LaSalle redevelopment area includes about 30 acres in and around the former LaSalle Square Shopping Plaza, which has lost most of its retail stores during the past 15 years. A Kroger grocery store, a G.L. Perry variety store, a Revco pharmacy, a Target store and other shops have closed or moved away.

The St.Joseph County Public Library is considering closing its LaSalle Branch near the shopping center, citing financial woes and declining use of that branch.

A market analysis indicated the area will not support new large retail development, but some convenience retail would be feasible. A small pharmacy, a dry cleaner, a limited-service restaurant and a grocery store specializing in fresh produce were ideas mentioned.

Since the plan was released in September 2008, some positive changes have occurred:

-Bendix Family Physicians opened at 1010 N. Bendix Drive. Residents had indicated a need for medical services in the area.

-The Urban Garden Market operates near LaSalle Square on summer Saturdays, providing a place for residents to buy fresh produce and other food.

-LaSalle Square was added to the Airport Economic Development Area tax incremental financing district,


customers (for retail businesses)," he said.

Like Inks, Vitton said it's unlikely a large grocery chain will locate in LaSalle Square without additional development preceding it. But something smaller, such as a neighborhood food co-op, is realistic, he said.

Jerry Niezgodski, chairman of the Lincoln Way West Gateway Association, was among community residents who helped develop the plan. He generally favors the plan's recommendations, but he's frustrated by what he sees as a lack of action on the part of city officials to promote the plan and encourage development.

## Preface

This book will help you become a better programmer.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lone developer, a member of a large project team, or a consultant working with many clients at once. This book will help you, as an individual, to do better work. This book isn't theoretical—we concentrate on practical topics, on using your experience to make more informed decisions. The word _pragmatic_ comes from the Latin _pragmaticus_ —"skilled in business"—which itself is derived from the Greek  , meaning "to do." This is a book about doing.

Programming is a craft. At its simplest, it comes down to getting a computer to do what you want it to do (or what your user wants it to do). As a programmer, youmay help.

Figure 1.1. The wisdom acrostic—understanding an audience

Say you want to suggest a Web-based system to allow your end users to submit bug reports. You can present this system in many different ways, depending on your audience. End users will appreciate that they can submit bug reports 24 hours a day without waiting on the phone. Your marketing department will be able to use this fact to boost sales. Managers in the support department will have two reasons to be happy: fewer staff will be needed, and problem reporting will be automated. Finally, developers may enjoy getting experience with Web-based client-server technologies and a new database engine. By making the appropriate pitch to each group, you'll get them all excited about your project.

  * **Preconditions.** What must be true in order for the routine to be called; the routine's requirements. A routine should never get called when its preconditions would be violated. It is the caller's responsibility to pass good data (see the box on page ).
  * **Postconditions.** What the routine is guaranteed to do; the state of the world when the routine is done. The fact that the routine has a postcondition implies that it _will_ conclude: infinite loops aren't allowed.
  * **Class invariants.** A class ensures that this condition is always true from the perspective of a caller. During internal processing of a routine, the invariant may not hold, but by the time the routine exitsthe data lives, and what the requirements are.
  * We like to write adaptable, dynamic systems, using metadata to allow us to change the character of applications at runtime. Most current formal methods combine a static object or data model with some kind of event- or activity-charting mechanism. We haven't yet come across one that allows us to illustrate the kind of dynamism we feel systems should exhibit. In fact, most formal methods will lead you astray, encouraging you to set up static relationships between objects that really should be knitted together dynamically.

More than 2,000 adults were asked ten questions based on the Key Stage Two curriculum, which is studied by children aged seven to 11. Only 5 per cent answered all ten questions correctly and 3 per cent scored a dismal one out of ten.

Critics will cite the findings as an indictment of the education system, which has been accused of failing to adequately teach schoolleavers important facts and figures.

The average score was just six questions right. In the South East and South West the average was seven, dropping to three in the North West.

Seventy-seven per cent could not spell the word 'skilful', 35 per cent did not know that a heptagon has seven sides and 58 per cent incorrectly named the capital of Sweden, withsome thinking it was Gothenburg or even the Finnish capital Helsinki.

Twelve per cent suggested that the Bard's first name was Walter and 7 per cent believed that Henry VIII was on the throne in 1900.

In all, 39 per cent could not name Queen Victoria as the reigning monarch at the start of the 20th century.

The dates of the Second World War, the medical term for the skull and the name of the planet nearest the sun also caused problems.

The test was sat only by adults but based around questions that children aged seven to 11 would be expected to be able to answer.

While supporters of Wolf and McGinty insisted they had the votes to win and were merely trying to avoid a fight, others were not so sure. Several people in the Democratic party said that Wolf could not firmly secure the votes in Philadelphia and that Philly committee chair, and Congressman, Bob Brady may have been reluctant to choose. One source commented that Brady is the “ultimate dealmaker” and that this situation seemed like a “deal of last resort”. Calls to the Philadelphia Democratic County Committee went unanswered.

In one sense, for current Chairman Jim Burn this represents quite a victory as he was able to hold on despite Wolf wanting to replace him. Onarchive

Led Zeppelin wails on live release

Emily Tumbrink, Assistant Scene Editor | Wednesday, September 3, 2003

Easily one of the greatest bands of all time, Led Zeppelin has had a lasting impact on music since the release of their self-titled debut in 1969, and their influence and popularity continue to this day.

However, until only very recently, fans of Led Zeppelin, especially those of a younger generation, could only experience the band’s music through their studio releases. There was no live album in existence that truly captured the essence of the Led Zeppelin live experience, and fans who were too young to have the privilege of witnessing the band in concert were left completely in the dark about the truly epic proportions of Led Zeppelin’s ability to perform. Luckily, the wait


for enlightenment is over. How the West Was Won is a three-disc set of two 1972 performances that Jimmy Page, guitarist for the band, re-discovered as he was gathering materials for a DVD. These performances showcase the band’s talents during their heyday, just after the release of their masterpiece Led Zeppelin IV and immediately prior to Houses of the Holy, and feature songs mainly from these two albums.

During the nearly three-hour jam session that forms How the West Was Won, Page’s talents on guitar truly come to life. Recently named one of the top 10 guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, Page definitely lives up to his reputation, especially on “Dazed and Confused” and “Whole Lotta Love.” With each approaching the 25-minute mark, Page is givenOut of the Shadows: Mental Health in Asia Pacific

Mental health has been a peripheral issue in emerging markets for a long time, despite the severe impact not only on those directly affected but also on families and carers, as well as on social cohesion and economic development.

Fortunately, mental health is starting to get more attention but there is still a widespread tendency to stigmatize and discriminate against people suffering with a mental illness. They are often considered as dangerous and aggressive which in turn increases the social distance.

Is there an opportunity for pharma to do more? In the first of a series of articles exploring mental health in emerging markets we take an in-depth look at the situation in Asia where problems arising from ill mental health are


the second largest contributor to years lost to disability.

Across Asia-Pacific, anything from 4% (Singapore) to 20% (Vietnam, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia) of the adult population experiences a diagnosable mental illness in any given year. There are indications too that in some countries – such as China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand and Malaysia – prevalence rates have increased. A study in The Lancet found that mental, neurological and substance-use disorders, which accounted for 7% of disability-adjusted life years across China in 1990, had risen to 11% by 2013. In India, the burden of disease increased from 3% in 1990 to 6% in 2013.

Economic damage
Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development identify the five leading mental health problems in the region asrural areas), and limited coverage for mental health issues under medical insurance. In these circumstances, responsibility for managing mental illness often falls to family members; with schizophrenics in rural China, 52% of primary caregivers interviewed rated their family burden as moderate to severe, with financial difficulties (76%) the most common concern.

Whereas international models of mental health prioritize the individual, more family-oriented cultures in Asia-Pacific countries may complicate moves to expand community-based services and access to professional care, especially if lack of funding obliges families to accommodate patients. Internal conflicts can lead to families rejecting discharged patients, returning them to institutions or even shackling them in outhouses. In one study of Chinese families who had restrained family members with severe mental illness in their homes, 96% of relatives cited

Closing, closing on the race-leading Mercedes. So close now on the penultimate lap Vettel could almost reach out to it, the late afternoon Sochi sun low in the sky but still bright, tyre marbles littered either side of the groove in the track, clearly defined even through the smeared yellow-tinted visor. The Ferrari was in the Seb groove as well as the track’s, flowing and nimble, covered in rear downforce just the way he likes it, just the way that makes him look once more like the Red Bull era multiple world champion. Letting rip, fuelled by the adrenaline of the chase.

Valtteri Bottas had been ahead of him ever since slipstreaming past downdust blowing from its front wheels, seeing it slip and slide out of the turns, its seven-lap older rubber beginning to surrender. Now Vettel’s got DRS on the final straight to begin the last lap, gaining, gaining….

The boy-faced Bottas stood on the podium a few minutes later, flushed with success. His first Grand Prix victory. He’d faced down a late Vettel charge, stayed calm and focused even after the lock-up, when it would have been so easy for it all to have unravelled. Just as calmly, he’d placed himself perfectly to take the lead into Turn 2 from the second row, getting the slipstream on the long run down there to be in front even before the braking zone, chopping across the Ferrari without compromise. The surprising thing


W08 already seen in the first three events were exaggerated around the singular traits of the Sochi track, with its super-smooth surface and unusual layout. It meant the hard compounds and stiffer 2017 constructions of even the softest tyres in Pirelli’s range required a very intricate preparation – one that brought Mercedes a conundrum to which there was no answer.

Getting a balance in temperatures between the surface of the tyre and its core potentially meant multiple preparation laps. The smooth surface meant even with the ultra-soft it would take an age to generate adequate heat in the core of the fronts, the cooling effect of the two long straights exacerbating the problem. Push too hard and the tread surface would simply overheat before enough load had been fedTo combat this required diff. settings through the final sector that gave a general understeer balance.

Considering just the best sector times rather than the individual Q3 laps, after the first two sectors there was only one hundredth of a second covering Hamilton, Bottas and Vettel. But putting those together with a good time in the traction-dominated final sector proved out of reach of the Mercedes. Bottas dropped enough to miss out on the front row by four-hundredths – and Hamilton dropped a massive half a second after oversteering wide over the Turn 13 kerb. Räikkönen, a couple of tenths down on the trio after two sectors thereby had enough life in the rears to be quickest of all through that final sector. It was almost enough to have


the former, this rather dominating their weekend and leaving them struggling with the balance of the car. Romain Grosjean was particularly afflicted and beside himself with frustration – especially after yet again getting caught out by yellows at the end of Q1 (for Palmer’s off), his initial Q1 lap leaving him last on the grid.

Fernando Alonso scraped the McLaren-Honda into Q2 with a lap he didn’t match once he was there as he lined up 15th. The Q1 effort was, he informed the world, a great lap in a car with great balance… Stoffel Vandoorne was 0.7sec adrift and two places back, just ahead of the Saubers of Pascal Wehrlein (who went off at the end of Q1 in turn 13) and Marcus Ericsson. Vandoorne knew however heand which was only just below the radar on Bottas’ too.

But a couple of things. With his engine temperatures back under control, Vettel was allowed off the leash on the 12th lap, from 3.7sec behind. With the first stops expected in the early 20s, he needed to get that gap back to undercut/overcut range. But when he went to lean on it, the front tyre grip just wasn’t there. The high track temperatures and the extra front camber Ferrari was using was ripping up the outside of Vettel’s left-front. Every time he leant on it, the blisters would begin opening up. It was at this point Ferrari – with Bottas able to match and even improve on anything Vettel did and well clear of undercut/overcut range – realised


must continue to slow, but are desperately trying not to flat-spot the tyres. They seemed locked for an age as he ran as wide as he dared, giving the bridge parapet only the narrowest of misses in order to widen the line as far as possible.

At Ferrari they were straight on the radio to Vettel. He smelt the burnt rubber as he arrived there a few seconds later. Game most definitely on. He flashed by the start/finish line 3sec behind. “I had lost the tyre temperatures after I’d flat-spotted,” explained Bottas. “It was a case of not panicking, just trying to work the tyres back up to temperature.” It took a couple of laps to do this – by which time Vettel was within 1.8sec and still closing.Bottas got a bit of a break lapping traffic on the 44th lap as Vettel arrived upon it at a more awkward place. But he was soon right back upon his prey. With a couple of laps to go he’d got DRS on the back straight. Then onto that last lap. So close he can almost touch it. One lap to go, that Merc is squirming under braking, Seb is watching the carbon dust blowing from its front wheels, seeing it slip and slide out of the turns, its seven lap older rubber beginning to surrender. Now Vettel’s got DRS on the final straight to begin the last lap, gaining, gaining….

But Bottas had DRS too – from Felipe Massa’s lapped ninth-place Williams, which had lost its earlier sixth


driver Räikkönen finished 11sec down in third, well clear of a struggling Hamilton who was a further minute clear of Verstappen who had the loneliest race of his career (he kept himself amused by watching the lead battle on the big screens as he passed by). Pérez remained ahead of Ocon, giving Force India another good haul of points from sixth and seventh, with Hülkenberg’s Renault chasing them down ahead of Massa and Sainz. Vandoorne’s McLaren actually finished the race, even if it was only a lapped 14th ahead only of the Saubers.

The winner took stock a couple of hours later, trying to take it all in as he was ushered from one place to the next. “With the tyres, the lock up and the vibration, the backmarkersJuly was likely the hottest month in recorded history, according to new data from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) released last Thursday.

According to the report, findings from the Copernicus Climate Change Program indicate that temperatures recorded in the first 29 days of July were as hot or marginally hotter than the previous record month, measured in July 2016.

This finding is significant because in July 2016 there was a strong occurrence of the El Niño phenomenon, a system of complex weather patterns that contribute to warmer global temperatures.

This July, there were no strong occurrences of the El Niño phenomenon, the report said, making the rise in temperatures seen across the world particularly striking.

"July has re-written climate history, with dozens of new temperature records at local, national and global level,"


WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said in the report.

Record-breaking heatwaves and "unprecedented" wildfires have been observed across the world in recent weeks, and experts have predicted that stifling weather patterns would carry over into July – and possibly into the entire year.

The average global temperature in June soared to the highest level ever measured for that month, with record-breaking heat measured in Eastern Europe, northern Russia, Asia, Africa, South America, the north Indian Ocean, and across parts of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported that nine of the 10 warmest months of June ever recorded have occurred since 2010.

Experts also noted that areas of the Arctic were engulfed in "unprecedented" wildfires this month, with huge portions of Russia, Alaska, and Greenland battlingtopic. In addition, a list of preparatory reading relating to language learning and to literature, history and culture, which students will be expected to undertake before the course starts will be made available in the Easter Term.

Students need to acquire a good reading knowledge of Greek in a very sort time. In the first two terms they attend two hours per week of language classes that concentrate on the essentials of grammar. In the Easter Term we have workshops on translation from Greek.
Students will benefit from some preparatory study: at the very least they should familiarize themselves with the Greek alphabet and the rules of pronunciation before the start of the course. Copies of the textbook can be borrowed from the Modern Greek Section office.

James Hider in Jerusalem
America’s spy chief was sent on a secret mission to Israel to warn its leaders not to launch a surprise attack on Iran without notifying the US Administration.

As Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, prepares to visit Washington, it emerged yesterday that Leon Panetta, the head of the CIA, went to Israel two weeks ago. He sought assurances from Mr Netanyahu and Ehud Barak, the Defence Minister, that their hawkish new Government would not attack Iran without alerting Washington.

Concerns have been rising that Mr Netanyahu could launch a strike on Tehran’s atomic programme, in the same way that Israel hit Saddam Hussein’s Osirak reactor in 1981. Israel has been preparing for such an eventuality. It has carried out long-distance manoeuvres and is due to holdBrachymesomelia-renal syndrome.

years of waiting, and an increasing number of teases leading up to Gearbox Software's PAX East 2019 keynote, a new Borderlands has been teased, and we're expecting to hear more soon.

"Battle royale games are fun. That's not what we're making," Randy Pitchford said alongside Paul Sage, the creative director of this new Borderlands game.

Pitchford highlighted the Mask of Mayhem trailer posted yesterday. Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2, Vaughn from Tales from the Borderlands, Aurelia from The Pre-Sequel, as well as the Cultist villains were among what Pitchford teased, as well as Handsome Jack's mask. But Handsome Jack is dead, Pitchford confirmed, seeming to imply he won't be coming back despite the Easter egg.

The teaser trailer also included Amara, a new Vault Hunter, according to Pitchford.

A Contempt Rule was filed by the respondent against Sheriff Ourso in response to which the Sheriff instituted quo warranto proceedings questioning the respondent's authority to hold office.
In late January and February, 1973 while respondent was daily appearing in East Baton Rouge district court defending the quo warranto proceeding, he was approached by Warren Ard, a former client of his, who was then, unbeknown to Dupont, cooperating with the Sheriff in an undercover investigation. The respondent judge had purchased a rifle and a shotgun three or four years before February 1974, from Earl Medlock, another former client. Ard informed respondent that the guns he had purchased from Medlock were


stolen, and that it was essential for him, Ard, to recover the guns and turn them over to the sheriff's department in order to avoid criminal sanctions for certain other of his activities.
The respondent denied knowing that the guns had been stolen, attempted to reassure Ard, and agreed to discuss the matter with him further. Respondent informed Ard that he did not know whether one of the guns was available.
Within the next week, after several conversations with Ard, the respondent fixed a price on the guns and agreed to sell them to Ard, who continued to urge his desperate need for possession of the weapons in order to avoid incarceration.
Ard paid the respondent $280.00; respondent then directed Ard to the guns in the back yard of his home,on a woodpile. Throughout the week the respondent had advised Ard to employ a clandestine method in turning the guns over to the authorities in order to avoid Ard's being incriminated.
Shortly following sale of the guns respondent was arrested and charged with receiving stolen goods.
Following respondent's arrest a preliminary hearing was held in the Eighteenth Judicial District Court for the Parish of Iberville. Upon a finding that there was not probable cause to hold him, the defendant Judge was ordered released. He was not thereafter tried. He has not been convicted of any criminal offense arising out of this incident.
Respondent's contention was that he did not know at the time he received the guns in question that they were stolen, that even after repeated advice from Ard, he


the evidence does not "support the commission's findings or justify its recommendation," although we are, like the commission, cognizant of all the attendant and peculiar circumstances surrounding Judge Dupont's conduct during the first week of February, 1973.
Respondent urges two other errors in opposing the recommendation of the commission. The first is that the commission should have permitted prehearing discovery by depositions and interrogatories. The second is that the constitutional grant of authority to the Judiciary Commission does not permit the disciplinary action recommended by the commission.
As to the first, the commission was of the opinion that granting prehearing discovery was a matter solely within its sound discretion. In argument before us, the respondent does not demonstrate any prejudice to him because of the lack of prehearing discovery. Hewas permitted access to the tape recorded conversations which formed the basis of the accusation against him. The respondent was informed that if at the conclusion of the hearing he felt that he had been surprised by any evidence adduced, he would be allowed time to produce additional evidence. No such request was made, nor has respondent applied for permission to file additional evidence pursuant to Rule 23, § 13 of the Rules of the Louisiana Supreme Court governing proceedings of the Judiciary Commission. We are of the opinion that there was not "fundamental unfairness" to the respondent in denying him prehearing discovery procedures. This is particularly true since the factual basis of the commission's recommendation is uncontroverted by the respondent.
As for the second of the additional specifications

He knows the way he attacks the game—a violent blend of King Leonidas, a gladiator and Lester Hayes—is not always welcomed. He ruffles feathers. He also knows his kind is all but extinct in a league going soft. So be it. He'll bring a "fight to the death" mentality to every snap, every game, and he's not asking for forgiveness.

Norman believes he is the NFL's last true warrior.

So, sure, he'll likely end up fighting Odell Beckham Jr. again. He'll rack up fines for celebrating. He'll live on the edge because he's wired like that tiger on the screen.

Bytheway expects English clubs to sign up their own FIFA players soon

Wolfsburg's main signing of the Winter transfer window joins them from Wolverhampton - but it's a 22-year-old video-game player rather than a Championship star that they've snapped up.

The Bundesliga club have hired 22-year-old Englishman David Bytheway as an 'official FIFA player' in a step away from the field and into the arena of eSports.

Bytheway, like real-life players Andre Schurrle and Julian Draxler, will wear Wolfsburg gear and he is set to represent them in tournaments and streamed matches online.

In doing so, Wolfsburghope to make themselves on of the early leading clubs in the rapidly-growing eSports market. A world championship for the game League of Legends last year saw 334million people tune in to watch.

EA Sports title FIFA is also hugely popular, and Bytheway believes Barclays Premier League clubs could follow his new team in hiring gamers to boost their presence online.

'It's absolutely massive for me the fact that a team like Wolfsburg have gotten involved with gaming,' he told the BBC.

'It was just something I was doing at home to start with, just playing my friends and wanting to be the best out of them, and all of a sudden I'm a part of a football club.

'In five years time when we look back at this we'll think, "Wow


they really started something here".

'Less than a year I hope, before the first Premier League team does this as well.'

Bytheway's life playing FIFA for Wolfsburg is likely to be a little different to that of players like Andre Schurrle

Watching eSports online is a fast-growing industry with fans tuning in online to watch FIFA matches

Bytheway will not be required to move to northern Germany just yet and his day-to-day schedule includes playing between four and six games of FIFA each day.

This was very evident to the people who saw SFDC try to build ServiceCloud in the early days: version after version of a monolithic solution that could not integrate with or work as the other solutions deployed by SFDC and could not compete with the then-reigning-champion: RightNow Technologies (another hosted solution, still today) or even the smaller customer service vendors.

Sometime in 2006-2007 SFDC realized the problem they had and noticed that distributed computing and three-tier cloud computing was starting to be noticed in the Enterprise Software world (some of the early smaller vendors that were creating innovative solutions for Enterprise Software were beginning to leverage the cloud computing model and break their monolithic solutions into tiers, finding ways to deploy them and leveraging the recently


launched AWS services from Amazon and Grid computing from other large vendors).

In 2007 SFDC launched Force.com – their first attempt at a platform. While the migration of existing code bases was not in the initial plan, the idea was to build a platform layer as part of a three-tier cloud computing model and let developers use that to access SFDC applications. This was their first attempt at delivering a platform and had, still today has some, many problems: proprietary languages, incomplete service directories, and limited integration into the existing applications of SFDC (SFA and the pretty bad customer service solution back then) were the most noticeable for users; a very complex architecture was the problem for whoever looked behind the browser.

Alas, it was a good first step andit was welcomed by the developers and customers as a way to extend the existing solutions SFDC offered back then.

The Evolution

What follows was a list of steps that helped them realize the potential and power of the platform (trying to shorten this post, which is going to be long anyway):

In 2008 SFDC acquires Instranet, a French customer service solution that was very strong in knowledge management but not so much in other areas. The great part of that acquisition was getting Alex Dayon, a young technologist who understood the power and the concept of the cloud computing model and was willing to rebuild service cloud as a platform-based solution.

In 2009 Vetrazzo, an SFDC customer, built ERP functions in force.com in one-third the time and cost of buying an


ERP solution to run their organization. This was not done with SFDC but it was heavily advertised by then once it was done. This proved that motivated customers with access to Force.com could do anything they wanted.

In 2009 FinancialForce launched using Force.com as their underlying platform to offer accounting solutions to SFDC customers.

In 2010 Kenandy launched using Force.com to create a standard ERP solution, still standing today and used by multiple SFDC customers.

In 2010 SFDC launched Chatter, which was initially launched as a hybrid of platform solution and monolithic architecture software. Very important later as it was another data point in showing that platform-only solutions (see above) were better. It also became the “guinea pig” of migrating SFDC applications to become platform solutions.

In 2011 and 2012 SFDC acquiredthe second time was done as a full platform-based solution: a service-based application that can operate within the platform to serve functions to any other application. The re-launch of Chatter as a platform (done in 2012) was a showcase of the power of what Force.com (then) could do: it quickly became part of everything that SFDC offered, its functions were easily accessible by not only other applications but also by customers, partners, and even competitors (the back story on Chatter and the database licenses it required, and how that became a roadblock for its growth was solved in the deal reached in2013 with Oracle– also another great story for later).

The Proposed Solution

And now we are at the end of 2012, beginning of 2013 with three incredible important accomplishments:

Influence of new late effects on quality of life over time in Hodgkin lymphoma Survivors: a longitudinal survey study.
Long-term Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors are known to have diminished quality of life (QoL). However, limited data are available on temporal changes in QoL and factors associated with the changes. In 2010, we conducted a follow-up questionnaire study on 273 HL survivors who participated in a 2003 questionnaire study on late effects after HL. The questionnaire items were limited to new late complications and reassessment of QoL and fatigue level, using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue instruments, respectively. We compared the results from the 2003 and the 2010 questionnaires, and QoL score changes between survivors with and without new late complications duringPRETORIA/JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - More than 30,000 people marched in South Africa’s capital Pretoria on Wednesday calling on President Jacob Zuma to quit, keeping up pressure from the streets on the leader over his handling of the struggling economy.

The protesters marched through the city and held a rally at a field outside the Union Buildings, the site of Zuma’s offices.

Zuma, who turned 75 on Wednesday, has survived previous protests. But the main opposition party Democratic Alliance (DA) and other parties behind the protest believe they can drum up support to force Zuma out of office following his dismissal of respected Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan in a cabinet reshuffle.

South Africa’s economy has grown lethargically over the last six years and the jobless rate stands near record levels. Analysts say the

This type of traffic light happens where a minor residential street crosses a main road.

Highlights China and Nepal finalised a protocol during a meeting in Kathmandu

Nepal depends heavily on India for the supply of essential goods

China is making fast inroads into Nepal with aid and investment

China will allow Nepal the use of four of its ports, the Nepalese government said on Friday, as the landlocked Himalayan nation seeks to end India's monopoly over its trading routes by increasing connections with Beijing.

Wedged between China and India, Nepal depends heavily on India for the supply of essential goods including fuel and the use of its ports for trade with other countries.

But Kathmandu has sought access to Chinese ports to reduce dependence on India since a prolonged blockade of its border crossings


with India in 2015 and 2016 left the country short of fuel and medicine for several months.

Officials from Nepal and China finalised a protocol during a meeting in Kathmandu on Friday giving Nepal access to the Chinese ports at Tianjin, Shenzhen, Lianyungang and Zhanjiang, a statement from Nepal's Commerce Ministry said.

It said China had also agreed to allow Nepal use its dry (land) ports at Lanzhou, Lhasa and Xigatse as well as roads to these facilities. The arrangements will come into effect when the protocol is signed, an official said without giving a date.

"This is one of the milestones because we are getting access to four Chinese ports in addition to two ports in India," Rabi Shankar Sainju, a commerce ministry official, told Reuters.

He said Nepali cargo fromJapan, South Korea and other north Asian countries could be routed through China which would cut shipping time and costs.

Overland trade is now routed mainly through Kolkata which takes up to three months, officials said. New Delhi has also opened the southern port at Vishakhapatnam for Nepali trade.

Traders say the plan to connect the country with China could face issues due to a lack of proper roads and customs infrastructure on the Nepalese side of the border. The nearest Chinese port is also located more than 2,600 km (1,625 miles) from its border.

"Nepal must develop proper infrastructure for smooth access to Chinese ports. Without this simply opening of ports will not be useful," said Anup Malla, an exporter of woollen carpets.

China is making fast inroads into Nepal with


aid and investment, challenging India's long-held position as the dominant outside power.

Beijing and Kathmandu are also in talks for building a railway link into Nepal, constructing an electric transmission line and are conducting a feasibility study for a free trade agreement.

China has failed to win India's support for its ambitious Belt and Road infrastructure project, President Xi Jinping's landmark scheme to connect China to the rest of Asia and beyond, a giant reworking of its old Silk Road.

India has not signed up to the initiative as parts of one key project, the $57 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, runs through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

continues to wash ashore, we’re prepared.”

The magnitude 9.0 Tohoku earthquake in March 2011 was the largest recorded in Japanese history. It killed 15,833 people, destroyed 129,000 buildings and triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Afterward, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment estimated that 5 million tons of debris — everything from smashed homes to drums of chemicals to tires to millions of plastic toys, bottles and pieces of furniture — ended up in the ocean, but that 70 percent of it sank in the first few weeks.

Scientists say the debris is not radioactive, because it washed out to sea before the nuclear power plant melted down. Satellites were able to track the debris for the first month, but then much of it scattered.

Six months after the tsunami,as part of a $50,000 NOAA grant to each Pacific Coast state have found a chopping board and crab packing crate with Japanese writing in Pacifica, a milk crate and bottle caps with Japanese writing in Mendocino County, and a pile of lumber near the Oregon border with joinery commonly used in Japanese homes.

But nobody knows where the rest is or if it could still wash ashore.

Computer models produced by NOAA scientists based on winds and currents show that the largest concentration of debris could still be floating in the ocean between Hawaii and Alaska, about 750 miles off California.

The city of Los Angeles has run into another setback in its ongoing quest to confiscate the property of homeless residents. A US Circuit Court judge ruled Wednesday that local law enforcement has gone too far in seizing the property of homeless individuals without sufficient reason. As the LA Times reports, the judge issued an injunction that stops the city from taking belongings without sufficient notice and—in the event that property is confiscated—makes the city sort through it and store items of value.

It wasn't a complete victory for the plaintiffs—four Skid Row residents along with the Los Angeles Community Action Network and Los Angeles Catholic Worker. They were looking for an injunction that would cover the whole city, where more than 1,300 tons of property was confiscated inthe first thing he said was, “I have to leave in five minutes".

He would not reveal the nature of the “communication" he had received from Khan, except to say that he felt intimidated by it. “I do feel threatened," he said. “Wouldn’t you—if you suddenly start getting persistent calls from unknown numbers?"

On being pressed, he pleaded that he was too “afraid of consequences" to say anything more, while his friends report that he has shifted his wife and five-month old baby to a “safer location"—something Banerjee would neither confirm nor contradict. One of the reasons he chose to back off, he says, was pressure from his wife and worried family members.

Monitoring and Evaluation Toolkit for the Scale-Up of Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC) in Kenya

The call to address the high rates of maternal and newborn mortality has received unprecedented support from governments and development partners over recent years. Increased investments in programs targeting maternal and newborn health have fueled demand for reliable and timely data to promote the rational allocation of resources where the burden of deaths is greatest. In Kenya, the Ministry of Health and county governments have committed to ensuring universal access to emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC). The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is a major partner of the Government of Kenya (GOK) in the effort to increase the national coverage of EmONC under its Ending Preventable Child and Maternal DeathsStrategy.

EmONC is an integrated strategy developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) that aims to equip health facilities with the capacity to provide evidence-based, cost-effective interventions to attend to the leading causes of maternal and newborn mortality. Two levels of care are recognized under this approach: basic (BEmONC) and comprehensive (CEmONC). BEmONC, provided at primary care facilities such as dispensaries and health centers, has seven essential medical interventions, known as signal functions. CEmONC, provided at hospitals, covers the seven BEmONC signal functions plus two more.

The toolkit incorporates experiences from the first two phases of the national EmONC scale-up exercise launched in July 2013. The national scale-up of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of EmONC was

By Alissa Greenberg

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An employee of Britain's Oxford University accused of stabbing to death a Chicago-area man with a second suspect agreed on Friday to be transferred to Illinois from California to face a murder charge.

The weeklong search for Andrew Warren and Northwestern University professor Wyndham Lathem drew international headlines. The pair, who police say were seen on surveillance video leaving the victim's apartment building, surrendered separately


last week.

The 56-year-old Warren, bearded and using a listening device, said little during a brief hearing at Superior Court in San Francisco other than to say that he had waived his right to fight extradition.

Chicago authorities have described the killing of Trenton Cornell-Duranleau, 26, as domestic in nature, without offering a motive.

He was found on July 27 in Lathem's Chicago apartment along with a knife with a broken blade, and had been stabbed more than 40 times in his upper body, said Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman.

Warren's lawyer, public defender Ariel Boyce-Smith, said outside the courtroom that his agreement to be transferred was not an admission of guilt.

"I want to remind everyone that he is presumed innocent," she told reporters.

Judge Edward Torpoco set a status hearing forSept. 8.

Lathem agreed on Monday to be extradited to Chicago.

Police have said Warren, a senior treasury assistant at Oxford's Somerville College, arrived in the United States one or two days before the slaying. He surrendered to police in San Francisco and Lathem turned himself in to authorities in nearby Oakland.

Northwestern has fired Lathem from his post as an associate professor of microbiology and immunology.

Before turning himself in, Lathem made a video in which he apologized for his involvement in the slaying, and he may have made a donation to a library in the victim's name, police said. His attorney said he likely would be moved in a week or two.


billions of dollars of budget savings bills - some now unable to be debated in this sitting. Legislation for a planned increase in federal fuel excise due to take effect from August is one bill not able to be debated in time to be enacted.

The ongoing uncertainty has shredded the government's budget and political strategy, turning its special two-week sitting of the Senate - called expressly to capitalise on the new cross-bench antipathy to the carbon and mining taxes - into a political own-goal.

After last week's surprise failure when the Palmer United Party withdrew its support and sided with Labor at the last minute, the government was moving ultra-cautiously on Tuesday despite professed backing of the PUP.

It was concerned that while all eight cross-bench senators say they arecommitted to consigning the carbon tax to history in a final vote, as many as three might baulk at the use of a guillotine to bring an end debate and force that vote.

In a further sign the government had lost exclusive control of the legislative timetable, the Climate Change Authority bill was removed from the list of those to be considered, supposedly at the insistence of the PUP.

Sources said the CCA bill, the purported vehicle for Mr Palmer's proposed ''dormant'' emissions trading scheme, will not be presented this week.

Fairfax understands there is also last-minute discussion over Mr Palmer's belated inclusion of India in the basket of countries to which the CCA would be required to look when recommending that Australia should activate its dormant ETS.

New senators are unhappy

Amazing isn't it? Our Prime Minister is so lacking in leadership skills that, after the 2010 election, as party leader, he was unable to entice two formerLiberals in Windsor and Oakshott to form an alliance with him; two individuals whose natural inclination had been to the political right. Then, during the term of the last government, he lost another supporter in Peter Slipper, who became an independent. Now he is attempting to use bluff and bluster to bully a new set of independents. Again these independents come from the right of the political spectrum and again they are clearly turned off by Toxic Tony's approach to getting what he wants.

Clearly there is a message here for all Australians, or at least, for those who were unable to read the character of the man prior to the last election. This is no benign, Menzean Liberal we have leading us at the moment. Within weeks of


his election he was already straining relations with our international neighbours, he has already been condemned by former leaders of his party in Malcolm Fraser and John Hewson and in a very short period of time since taking office, he has already lost the support of the Australian people. Not that it will matter to Tony Abbott as long as Rupert continues to pat him on the head and tell him he is a good boy.

But this is the most toxic leader this nation has ever elected and things are going to get a lot worse before we get an opportunity to kick him out. Unless, that is, he antagonises the independents so much that they force him to a double dissolution. We can only hope.

There are signs, albeit small ones, that the Bush administration may be reaching the end of its patience with the Six-Party Talks on North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. These signs could prove illusory. But as it nears its end, the administration has a serious responsibility: It must not leave its successor with an ongoing, failed policy. At a minimum, President Bush should not bequeath to the next president only the burned-out hulk of the Six-Party Talks, and countless failed and violated North Korean commitments.

Since they were conceived in spring 2003, the Six-Party Talks have stumbled around inconclusively. And for the last 13 months, Pyongyang has ignored, stalled, renegotiated and violated the Feb. 13, 2007 agreement.

Pyongyang is now stonewalling yet again on its promise to


through institutions like Banco Delta Asia.

In fact, the protracted Six-Party Talks have provided Kim Jong-il with the most precious resource of all: the time to enhance, conceal and even disperse his nuclear weapons programs. Time is nearly always on the side of the would-be proliferator, and so it has proven here. In exchange for five years of grace to North Korea, the U.S. has received precious little in return.

Pyongyang is now stonewalling yet again on its promise to disclose fully the details of its nuclear programs, including its uranium enrichment efforts and its outward proliferation. The successful Israeli military strike against a Syrian-North Korean facility on the Euphrates River last September highlighted the gravity of the regime’s unwillingness to do anything serious that might restrict its nuclear option.

However, organisations like MIGAS will have most Federal Government funding removed at 1 July 2015 and State funding across Australia has also been severely reduced. This is surprising, given the recent research project undertaken by Social Ventures Australia and Group Training NSW & ACT, which was presented at the 2015 Skills Conference in Sydney. The research was able to measure and provide the value of the social return on investment for businesses who utilise Group Training Organisations such as MIGAS, in managing their apprentices and trainees.

    THE LIFE LINE

Robert Felton was in luck when he met an Eastern girl in Salt Lake City.
He was from Chicago and she from Boston. An inveterate sportsman was
Felton and each autumn when he came out to visit a mine in which he was
interested theFelton the mountain fever, and he proposed the usual Western trip.
He was in love as deeply as ever and he was a considerate man.

"We'll go to Salt Lake City," he said, "and I'll attend to my
business--it's all in town there--and then, dear, you'll let me make a
hunting trip, won't you, while you stay in the city and have a good time
with Mary." Mary was Mrs. Felton's cousin.

"Where do you hunt, Bob?" inquired Mrs. Felton.

"Oh, generally away up a canyon which forks from one where a couple of
my friends have a mine. I've had a sort of shack built away up on the
side of this branch canyon, which is about five miles across country
from the mine, and, every fall, they send over a stock of
provisions--canned goods and flour, and

air. Even an effort to remedy this fault did not avail. There came two
dread November weeks of almost continual fog, day and night, and, as
the Siren gave four tunes an hour for variety's sake, it necessarily
played ninety-six tunes a day, and there weren't enough popular airs in
existence to keep this up without constant duplication, or worse! A new
form of nervousness was seizing upon the multitude. Even the mayor, who
had grown fat, was getting thin again.

On the other hand the Siren had a powerful supporting force in the
officers and crews of every vessel entering the harbor. Most delightful
was it to those gallant seamen,which grow

changed much since the time of Egypt. Doubtless it was about the same
way before.

been too coarse for the occasion and the demand.

divorce action between Eloise and Sam Popeil had been pending in the courts in Illinois since 1965. Sometime in 1972, Eloise moved to California and shortly thereafter met Dan Ayers and subsequently began to live with him in a meretricious relationship.
Ayers was employed at Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach and served as a union shop steward. He was laid off from his job in June 1973. Donald Reed was also employed at that company and served in the capacity of bargaining committeeman for the union. Reed was an ex-convict who had served time in Michigan for armed robbery.
In December of 1973, Ayers contacted Reed and proposed that Reed kill Sam Popeil in exchange for "$25,000, $30,000 or $40,000," stating that "money is no object." Ayers told Reedthat Popeil was worth $100 million but "he has all the money tied up, and it's just as much her money as it is his, and he's got to go."
Ayers was able to describe to Reed the layout of Sam Popeil's residence in Chicago and his living habits and directed Reed to go to Chicago and familiarize himself with the layout. Reed agreed.
A few days later Ayers in company with Eloise came to Reed's home. Ayers provided Reed with an airline ticket and a camera. Ayers instructed Reed to go to Chicago, ascend to the 29th floor of the Drake Towers, by way of the fire escape and take a picture of Popeil's door. Ayers drew a map of the area and explained to Reed the location of


the garage and stated that if both a Cadillac El Dorado and a Rolls Royce were present, that meant Popeil was home. The purpose of bringing back a picture of the door was to satisfy Eloise that Reed was capable of gaining access to the victim as a condition precedent to her advancing any money.
*374 Reed actually made the trip to Chicago but upon observing the situation decided against going through with the plan. He returned to Los Angeles and contacted Robert Peeler, another fellow employee and union official. Reed told Peeler of Ayers' proposition and the two agreed to try to get the money from Ayers without actually committing the deed. They decided to surreptitiously tape record conversations with Ayers. Several conversations were recorded in which Ayersand Reed discussed the details of the proposed murder.
Around December 31, 1973, Ayers contacted Peeler and proposed that Peeler undertake to carry out the plan because he, Ayers, was getting suspicious of Reed and Reed's intentions. On January 1, 1974, Peeler met with Ayers and Eloise at a restaurant in the Long Beach area. In this conversation Eloise gave Peeler details of her husband's habits, described the presence of domestic help on the premises and opined that it would be easy to get into the apartment in Chicago and shoot the victim in his sleep. She agreed to furnish a map of the premises.
Subsequently, Ayers delivered a map to Peeler. The map was proved to have been made by Eloise. Ayers also discussed with Peeler the possibility of


poisoning Popeil instead of shooting him. Ayers delivered to Peeler a prescription bottle containing a white powder with the name "Eloise Popeil" on the label.
On January 3, 1974, Reed contacted Sam Popeil by telephone in Chicago and told him of the plan to kill him. Later that day the Long Beach police contacted Reed. Reed told the police what he knew and delivered to them the evidence he had accumulated. He told them of a meeting between Eloise, Ayers and Peeler that was planned for January 5, 1974.
Subsequently, Peeler agreed to cooperate with the police and conversations he had with Ayers and Eloise were surreptitiously recorded with equipment furnished by the police, while the police observed and photographed the meetings. These conversations left no doubt of Eloise andAyers' intent and desire to hire someone to murder Samuel Popeil. Eloise said she "wanted him dead" by any means and if it was necessary also to kill the maid to put the bodies in bed together.

THE TAPES OF THE CONVERSATIONS
Seven tape recordings were received in evidence. It was stipulated that each tape was recorded with the consent and knowledge of one party to *375 the conversation, and that as to three of the tapes the person so consenting was acting under the direction of a law enforcement officer who was in turn acting within the scope of his authority.
The four tapes recorded without police authorization contained only conversations with defendant Ayers. Yet both defendants claim error in their admission.
Defendants concede that under existing statutory and case law


the witnesses would be delivered to the prosecutor.
Counsel for defendant Ayers refused to comply. Counsel for defendant Popeil complied only to the extent of delivering a copy of an investigator's notes concerning an interview with one witness, a Mrs. Cowan, defendant Popeil's sister.
The thrust of Mrs. Cowan's testimony on behalf of the defense was that she had had several conversations with Sam Popeil in which the latter had expressed an interest in the relationship between Eloise and Ayers and an intent to use evidence of that relationship in the divorce action. According to Mrs. Cowan, Sam Popeil made inquiry as to whether Ayers could be "bought off" or if he could be frightened away by physical force. Sam also attempted to pressure Mrs. Cowan to testify in theThe Portrait

God and Happiness. This connection seems to be a secret, unknown to man. While we all pray to God and we all seek Happiness, we have not realized a profound Truth, GOD = Happiness.

God controls our Happiness! This may sound strange in the beginning but when we realize the Truth, we will not only understand it but also enjoy the joy and bliss that is beyond any Happiness that we have ever experienced.

We all have some vague understanding about God, life, and Happiness. We don't realize that what we live by is largely mythological, not the actual Truth because as kids we have been told various fairy tales. We continue to believe in them even after we complete our childhood.
    I decided to ask questionswill give him Happiness. He, himself, his equipment or instrument to make any work happen and the action he performs. It may be a painter painting a sunset. It needs all the 3 factors – the painter, the paintbrush, paints, canvas as well as the act of painting. While all the 3 factors are present, there are times when the result is not as per his expectations. He then realizes that there is a 4th Factor that controls the results of all man's actions. We can do our best, but there is a power that controls the rest, a power that can make us happy or miserable. That is the reason why when two farmers who work equally hard to plough their eld or when two students study

We forget that it is a Divine Cosmic Drama

The seekers of Happiness learn a profound Truth – this world is a humungous theatre on which a Divine Cosmic Drama is being enacted. There are 8 billion actors in this drama. One tiny act by someone in New

Bishops hold exorcism to 'drive away the Enemy' from Mexico

A Mexican cardinal has presided at a 'great exorcism', guided by a well-known Spanish exorcist, seeking to "drive away the Enemy" from Mexico.

Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, Archbishop Emeritus of Guadalajara, was one of a number of priests involved in the ceremony that took place at the Cathedral of San Luis Potosí on May 20, according to Aleteia.

Spanish Priest Fr José Antonio Fortea, who led the exorcism, explains in his book The Great Exorcism that such ceremonies can be used "in situations in which great violence has been unleashed in a country."

Archbishop of San Luis Potosí, Jesús Carlos Cabrero told ACI Prensa that although it was not a common practice "this celebration is a sacramental of the Church."

Cardinal Íñiguez, whois very connected to death. He is a murderer from the beginning."

He spoke of the "very grave sin" of legalising abortion in a Christian nation. Catholic journalist Roberto O'Farrill, who attended the ceremony, also commented on the large number of abortions in the country.

In 2007 abortion was decriminalised in Mexico City in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, although it remains very restricted in the rest of the country. Even so, O'Farrill said there have been 120,000 abortions performed in Mexico since the change in the law.

Cardinal Íñiguez also mentioned the "Acts of revenge, now occurring between assassins and the government" and said "this violence is nothing else but the Devil who is tearing us apart."

Although Mexico's murder rate increased significantly between 2008 and 2012, violent crime has


for the contract year.  Termination of the contract could result from Davis' "malfeasance, inefficiency, or contumacious conduct."    In addition, the contract stated that the University would provide an appropriate educational program for Davis and that Davis in return would "fulfill the educational requirements for the program."    Upon completion of the program Davis would receive appropriate certification for "time satisfactorily completed."1   Mississippi's GPR program operated like a typical medical residency.  The residency year was divided into six clinical rotations, which the resident had to satisfactorily complete in order to obtain certification.2

4
Davis' first rotation was the University Hospital rotation, which lasted from July 1 until September 1, 1985, and from September 16 until September 30, 1985.  His evaluation bythat rotation's director, Dr. Manious, was excellent.  From September 2 until September 15, 1985, Davis participated in the emergency room rotation.  Davis received a highly favorable recommendation upon completion of that rotation.  In October 1985 Davis participated in the anesthesiology rotation.  Although the evaluation listed some concerns (Davis had not taken basic CPR or ACLS training), the overall evaluation stated that Davis was a "[g]ood man, satisfactory performance on our service."

5
At the end of October 1985, Davis began the family medicine rotation.  At some point in late October, Davis and another resident wrote a memo to the dean of the dental school, Wallace E. Mann (Mann),3 concerning problems that they perceived existed in the GPR program.  Dissatisfied with Mann's response to the


memo, Davis sent the memo to the Mississippi Dental Association (the MDA).  At that time the MDA was involved in an accreditation review of the University's GPR program and dental school.

6
Davis' performance problems surfaced in November 1985.  The family practice rotation evaluation reveals Davis' lack of interest in family practice.  However, it also states that Davis made an "honest effort."    While the evaluation was not clearly positive, Davis did receive a satisfactory rating and the director wrote that he "enjoyed having [Davis]" there.  In mid-November Davis started the GPR clinic rotation, which was under the direction of Dr. Hodgson.  On November 20, 1985, Hodgson wrote a memo to Davis outlining the responsibilities and expectations of the GPR program.  Amongthe expectations was "excellence in your dental charts with full documentation of pre-existing conditions."4   The memo further stated that Davis' charts would be audited on a periodic basis.  On December 5, 1985, Hodgson counseled Davis verbally on the expectations of the program.  On December 7, 1985, Hodgson met with two other members of the faculty, Dr. Comer and Dr. Hanes, to discuss Davis' situation.  Between January 20-25, 1986, Hodgson audited Davis' thirty active patient charts.  On February 5, 1986, Davis was given a memo from Hodgson and Comer.  The memo stated that Davis had thirty days to improve his performance.5

7
Davis claims that between the date he received the memo, February 5, 1986, and the deadline date stated in the memo, February


13, 1986, he went to both Comer and Hodgson to ensure that his records were corrected and in conformity with the memo specifications.  Hodgson apparently made notes on some charts that needed corrections and sent them back to Davis.  Davis also stated that Hodgson attached a note to one of the records that indicated that Hodgson felt that the bulk of the records were ready for processing.6   Beginning on February 17, 1986, Hodgson, Comer, and Hanes began an audit of all of Davis' charts to see if Davis had corrected the deficiencies in accordance with the February 5th memo.7

8
On February 10, 1986, the first private faculty committee meeting (meeting 1) was held to discuss Davis' performance.  The full minutes of meeting 1 revealfaculty committee meeting (meeting 2) was held to discuss Davis's performance.9   Hodgson went through a representative number of Davis's charts and pointed out their deficiencies.  After one-and-a-half hours of discussion, the committee unanimously agreed that Davis's academic performance was unsatisfactory and that he should not receive certification.  By a vote of 6-3, the committee recommended that Davis be dismissed from the GPR program immediately.

20
On April 2, 1986, Comer and Mann met with Davis and gave Davis a letter dated April 1, 1986, which notified Davis that he would be dismissed from the GPR program as of April 30, 1986.  The letter stated that Davis was being dismissed for academic reasons and that he would be afforded an ad hoc committee hearing if he


so requested.  Davis requested a hearing, and on April 30, 1986, a letter was sent to Davis informing him that the hearing would be held on May 8, 1986.  The letter also listed the witnesses that would appear on behalf of the University and included a detailed summary of what the witnesses' testimony would entail.10

21
The hearing convened on May 8, 1986.  Five members of the dental and medical professions--so far as the record shows, all well respected and qualified--served as committee members.11   Davis had counsel present.  The committee heard several witnesses' testimony, including that of Hodgson, Comer, Manious, and Davis.  The transcript of these proceedings runs some 229 pages.  In addition, the committee was given copies of notes summarizing Hodgson'sand Comer's testimony, several memoranda, correspondence, the GPR program residents' manual, Davis' rotation evaluations, and a copy of the letter that Davis had sent to the MDA critiquing the GPR program.  The committee was also given a truncated version12 of the minutes of meeting 1 held on February 10, 1986, and a copy of the memo from Hodgson to Mann summarizing the results of meeting 2 held on March 30, 1986.13

22
By letter dated May 15, 1986, the hearing committee recommended to Mann that Davis be dismissed from the GPR program for "academically deficient dental practice performance while a student."    The letter also stated that "since the performance of Dr. Davis the student was the same as Dr. Davis the employee, the School of Dentistry


even more procedural protections than are required by the Fourteenth Amendment in an academic dismissal context.  Starting in November 1985, Davis received frequent and detailed notice of his academic problems and potential dismissal.  On April 2, 1986, he met with Mann and Comer, who at that time handed him the letter of dismissal effective April 30, 1986.  Davis was given the right to a hearing and obtained that hearing before an impartial, five-member committee.  A week before the hearing, Davis was given a detailed summary of the charges and witnesses against him.  He had access to the materials that would be utilized against him, including the charts that Comer critiqued before the committee.  He had counsel present at the hearing and Davis It is unclear whether the faculty committee members had access to the evaluations during their meeting 1 in February 1986, or in their meeting 2 in March 1986 when they voted 6-3 to dismiss Davis (or in the interim between the February and March meetings).  While this mode of presentation may have prejudiced the faculty committee, it was not the faculty committee of February and March 1986 that ultimately decided Davis's fate, but Dean Mann, after consideration of the May 1986 hearing committee's independent decision.

38
Regardless of what Hodgson said to the members of the faculty committee in February 1986, it is clear that the hearing committee in May 1986 evaluated the evidence independent of prior decisions and reached their own conclusion regarding Davis' academic performance.19


 It is undisputed that the committee had before it the positive evidence of Davis' rotation evaluations, Dr. Manious' testimony, several other witnesses' favorable testimony, Davis' testimony, and Davis' letters to Mann and the MDA on the problems with the GPR program.  The committee also had the negative testimony of Hodgson and Comer, the negative evaluation by Hodgson, and admissions of poor judgment and performance by Davis.  It was the committee's task to sift through the evidence and come to a decision.  Davis was represented by counsel.  Although the full version of the February minutes may have aided Davis in preparing or presenting his case, and in cross-examining Hodgson, the hearing provided here is not evaluated under the strict procedural standards accorded criminal trials,you....  Hodgson will also testify as to his knowledge of the Haralson case where, as a result of your treatment and poor judgment, the patient was forced to endure a prolonged surgical procedure thus placing the patient under greater risk."
The letter also stated that
"Dr. Comer will testify as to having counselled you on your academic deficiencies;  he will explain and substantiate the existence of your academic performance.  Dr. Comer will also present evidence of his review of your charts and his conclusions of your poor performance in the clinical area of the General Practice Residency Program."

 Dr. Harold Grupe chaired the hearing.  He was the chairman of the department of periodontics at the University of Mississippi.  Dr. James Fitchie taught in the University's
