, we implemented new titles and promotion paths for RC Faculty (Renewable Contract) with PhDs. Dalton’s stipulation with this was that all RCF, even if they were strictly teaching faculty, had to have some sort of scholarly activity (publications, research, presentations, etc.).
The devil will be in the details, but currently at LSU, instructors and teaching professors generally have twice the teaching load at half the salary compared to tenure-track professors. The reduced teaching load for tenure-track professors is supposed to be balanced by the research and publication requirements.

To bring down class sizes they will need to offer more sections, which means hiring more teachers or increasing teaching loads. Those things will require more money.

Isn’t this the line that will carry the BR-NO rail traffic?
The plans from a few years ago were on the tracks near Perkins. The BR stops were in the medical district between Bluebonnet and Essen and a terminus near Government and 14th Street.

So, no, not the tracks closer to the river and campus.

Might as well mention here that the other planned stops were in Gonzales, in Laplace (or maybe NORCO), near MSY, possibly in Jefferson Parish (which would probably be near JPAC and Zephyr's Field), and a terminus at Union Passenger Terminal in New Orleans.
I know Visor. His shitty goalkeeping was responsible for Brass fans getting lots of free frosties and whoppers.l

Did you ever see Tokyo Groove? Love Juna Serita and also Harumo Imai, me.
I did not. It was random chance that I went to the Haku show... two of my friends had four tickets, and one of their Japanese friends from Osaka had something come up with work so I took the extra.

I'm more familiar with City Pop era singers, although I do know some newer stuff. Here's an ano track that's essentially an ad for bored teens to work at McDonald's. (She did a few actual commercials too.)



Haku - The Universe of My Mind

Haku is a four piece band from Osaka that formed in 2019. I heard them in a club a few months before I came back to the US, just before they started to blow up. They did the cover of 1999 from my other post.

Haku is great to listen to if you're trying to learn Japanese. The singer pronounces things clearly, and they use normal words in most of their songs.

This song is essentially about learning how to deal with the thoughts, feelings, and "mysterious secrets" inside one's own head while also living in the real world. (Hence, in the video, they all learn how to play their instruments, and later the bassist and drummer showing the singer and guitarist how to eat.)
Hitsujibungaku - 1999.

The song is about growing up and things changing. It's set on Christmas Eve 1999, with the imminent turn of the century.

1999 was a rough year for me. Two of my best friends from high school died six months apart, and I had problems dealing with that and adjusting to college.

So while everyone else was partying like it was 1999, I was feeling like this song feels. Sad for the way things change, but a hopeful for happy times ahead.

The best part is that this song wasn't released until 2018. I didn't know about it until I heard a cover during Christmas 2023 while I was living in Japan. But it took me straighy back to 1999. Music can be amazing.

Les Miles never got blown out by fricking Vanderbilt. This level of suckage is all on Kelly and staff.
Bud's next door to Morning Call. Burgers and beignets.
Bustmeier. Put a dunce cap on him.
I played this back in the day (having already been an Ogre series fan before this game was made). The XP Steal disposable Thief juggling method to keep my main characters low at low level for longer is a lot easier now than it was back then. I haven't gotten to the level up / level down grind at yet b/c I'm still class maxing Ramza and my four keeper randos and don't have teleport yet.

As with Tactics Ogre Reborn, the remake is high quality. Although I do see the gripe about the Dark Knight and Onion Knight and other War of the Lions stuff that got taken back out.

seems like everyone had untoasted sliced sandwich bread and a tub of Country Crock on the table with several different meals
Many restaurants (from fancy places down to places like Sizzler and Steak and Ale) served hot bread and butter with their meals. Some places still do, but it was more ubiquitous back then. Slices of toast with butter or spread were the at-home version once supermarkets spread and local bakeries disappeared.
Yes, everyone votes for criminals and incompetent leadership in lockstep like it's Saddam Hussein in Iraq. It's unanimous voting with high quality candidates to choose from.
Answer: Chinese made. The immediate red flag is that "Matsato" can't be formed in Japanese... there's a tsu sound but not a tsa sound in Japanese.

Search question: Are Matstato knives actually Japanese?

"No, Matsato knives are not authentically Japanese, and claims that they are traditional Japanese kitchen knives are misleading. While the knives are inspired by Japanese craftsmanship and may be marketed with Japanese-style branding, they are primarily manufactured in China by a Lithuanian company. Reviews and customer feedback suggest they offer decent value for the price but are not comparable to genuine, premium Japanese knives."
