President Obama said Monday that Attorney General Eric Holder will travel to Ferguson, Mo., Wednesday, to meet with federal officials investigating the death of an unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a police officer Aug. 9.
Holder will meet with members of the Department of Justice and FBI who are conducting a federal investigation into the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Brown's death has sparked days of protests that, after nightfall, have turned into violent clashes between demonstrators and police in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis.
"Let's seek to heal rather than wound each other," Obama said, in his second set of remarks on the situation in the past five days.
Obama said Holder will also meet "with other leaders in the community who's support is so critical to bringing about peace and calm in Ferguson."
In carefully calibrated remarks that echoed comments and a written statement on the situation the president delivered last week, Obama called for people to seek out their "shared humanity" and to remain calm.
"While I understand the passions and the anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown, giving into that anger by looting or carrying guns, and even attacking the police, only serves to raise tensions and stir chaos. It undermines rather than advancing justice," Obama said.
Obama said constitutional rights, including freedom of assembly and the press, must be "vigilantly safeguarded" and that there is "no excuse for excessive force by police or any action that denies people the right to protest peacefully."
And the president said he is personally committed to helping ensure that young people of color are not left behind.
"I've said this before: In too many communities around the country, a gulf of mistrust exists between local residents and law enforcement. In too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind, and seen only as objects of fear," Obama said.
Obama also said it is likely "useful to review" federal anti-terrorism grants that have led to local police departments around the country receiving military equipment like the material that has been deployed in Ferguson.
"There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, and we don't want those lines blurred. That would be contrary to our traditions," Obama said. "And I think that there will be some bipartisan interest in re-examining some of those programs."
Obama flew back to Washington late Sunday night from Martha's Vineyard, where he is midway through a two-week vacation. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon deployed the national guard to Ferguson very early Monday after chaos erupted there Sunday night. A barrage of tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets were deployed on protesters and police said protesters threw Molotov cocktails at and fired on police. The administration learned later Monday morning that the National Guard had been called, according to an official.
Holder Sunday ordered a federal autopsy of Brown's body. A spokesman for the Justice Department said Holder ordered the additional autopsy at the request of Brown's parents and because of "the extraordinary circumstances involved in this case."
A private autopsy conducted at the behest of Brown's family showed the 18-year-old was shot at least six times, including two shots to his head. Lawyers for Brown's family said one of the results showed that Brown was surrendering as he was shot in the head.
The White House has said that Obama has received regular briefings on Ferguson while on Martha's Vineyard, including from Holder and special adviser Valerie Jarrett. It said the White House has coordinated with state and local officials and that Jarrett has been in touch with civil rights leaders, including Al Sharpton and NAACP President Cornell Brooks.
Obama has made two statements about Ferguson, one released on paper by the White House Tuesday and the other delivered in person by the president Thursday. Until Monday's remarks, he had not taken any questions from the press about the unrest.
Early last week, Obama issued a statement calling Brown's death "heartbreaking."
"I know the events of the past few days have prompted strong passions, but as details unfold, I urge everyone in Ferguson, Missouri, and across the country, to remember this young man through reflection and understanding," the statement said.
Last Wednesday night, the situation in Ferguson turned more violent. Obama was briefed late in the evening, after attending a friend's birthday party; as reports of the unrest were trickling in, the White House said Obama dined on surf and turf and pasta and danced "to nearly every song."
A senior White House official familiar with Wednesday's briefing said Obama was "very concerned about the violence" and thought his voice might "help quell the violent reaction."
The official said Obama spoke with Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon Thursday around noon. Nixon told Obama then that he had wanted to give local law enforcement the opportunity to manage the situation, but it had become clear Wednesday night they no longer had the capacity to do so. About an hour later, Nixon's chief of staff called the White House and informed them them of the decision to have the Missouri Highway Patrol take over security under the command of Capt. Ron Johnson, a black man who grew up not far from Ferguson.
Obama then spoke publicly about the situation for the first time, saying Thursday that there is "no excuse for police to use excessive force," and that the city should be "open and transparent" about its investigation and plan for protecting the community.

The research accomplishments of the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research are as numerous as they are varied. Since the Center was established by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1986, its vision has been to help establish earthquake resilient communities throughout the United States and abroad. Over the past 13 years, our research and education programs have annually supported more than 80 investigators throughout the country and the world, to work toward this goal. Much has been accomplished, most notably in the areas of lifelines and protective systems, but our vision has not yet been fully realized.
Toward this end, we believe that the best way to achieve earthquake resilient communities in the short-term is to invest in two highly-focused system-integrated endeavors:
the rehabilitation of critical infrastructure facilities such as hospitals and lifelines that society will need and expect to be operational following an earthquake; and
the improvement of emergency response and crisis management capabilities to ensure efficient response and prompt recovery following earthquakes.
Our research is conducted under the sponsorship of two major federal agencies, the NSF and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the state of New York. Significant support is also derived from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), other state governments, academic institutions, foreign governments and private industry. Together these resources are used to implement our research programs, as shown below.
This Research Progress and Accomplishments report is intended to introduce the reader to and highlight some of MCEERs research tasks that are currently in progress, and provide those in the earthquake engineering community with a glimpse of the foci and direction that our programs are taking. We anticipate that this information will contribute to the coordination and collaboration effort in earthquake engineering research nationally and globally. The presentation is in descriptive form with preliminary observations and recommendations, and provides an indication of future efforts.
The research studies represented in this report are in various stages of completion. A few papers describe efforts that have been completed and are now represented in codes, standards, and regional or national guidelines. Others describe work in progress.
Each paper, whether it be on developing loss estimation techniques, construction of a benchmark model for repetitive testing, or the vulnerability analysis of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Powers vast network, provides a snapshot of how MCEER accomplishes its multidisciplinary and team-oriented research. The authors identify the sponsors of the research, collaborative partners, related research tasks within MCEERs various programs, and links to research and implementation efforts outside MCEERs program.
MCEER works with all members of the earthquake engineering community, including practicing engineers and other design professionals, policymakers, regulators and code officials, facility and building owners, governmental entities, and other stakeholders who have responsibility for loss reduction decision making. The end users of the presented research are also highlighted within each paper, which we hope will enhance MCEERs partnership programs with industry, government agencies and others.
This report is the first in what we anticipate will be an annual compilation of research progress and accomplishments. Future issues will include a brief overview of our strategic research plan to further enhance cooperative research efforts.

Narrow Selection
The holiday of Purim is known mostly for the Costumes that we wear along with obligation to drink and give food gifts to each other. One of the lesser known commandments, or mitzvot, related to Purim is the reading of the Megillah and the obligation to erase Haman's name. We do this by shaking or spinning a grogger each time Haman's name is mentioned.
The grogger used on Purim is essentially a noisemaker akin to a rattle. It has a handle and there is a cog attached to the handle. There is a piece of wood, metal or plastic attached to the far edge of the frame and when it is spun, it makes a noise. The rattle mechanism may or may not be enclosed by some kind of casing to keep the mechanism from breaking.
When picking out a grogger you have several options available. A wooden grogger allows for the most freedom if you wish to be artistic. Because it is made of wood, it can be painted with almost any scene imaginable. The most common things to appear on a wooden grogger are scenes from the Purim story, objects related to Purim, names, Jerusalem, masks or flowers. These groggers make great gifts and are the loudest groggers available. Plastic groggers can be almost any color imaginable, but they usually are two colors that are intentionally mismatched as this adds to the festivity of the holiday. These groggers are made identically to wooden groggers.
The most expensive and most inexpensive groggers are made of Metal. On the affordable side are groggers made of steel. These are simple groggers that have the rattle mechanism inside the grogger. They usually are a circular, rectangular or oblong shape. The most expensive groggers are made from precious metals such as pewter and silver. They are made like the wooden groggers, but are usually more fancy as they are often engraved with verses from the megillah along with vines or Jerusalem.
Groggers Guide
The holiday of Purim is known for its bright, colorful costumes, energetic parties and overall joyous atmosphere. The holiday also has several commandments that are fulfilled during the course of the day, including giving charity to the poor and giving gifts of food to friends as well as the most important mitzvah, to hear the reading of the Story of Esther.
What is a Grogger?
A grogger is a type of rattle also known as a ratchet that is spun when the name of Haman is mentioned during the reading of the Story of Esther, also known as Megillat Esther in Hebrew.
The Grogger is typically a rectangular shape and is made up of a handle, cogwheel and stiff board that makes noise when it is hit by the cogs. The Grogger makes its noise when spun. However, there are other shapes of Groggers, such as a oblong, ovular shape or circular.
The Use of the Grogger
On Purim, the established custom is to read the Megillat Esther twice, once at the beginning of the holiday and once in the morning of the holiday. During the readings, the tradition is to shake the Grogger at each mention of Haman - the enemy of the Jews during the story who ultimately was defeated. The shaking of the Purim Grogger is also to remember Amalek, the tradition enemy of the Jews who provoked a war immediately following the Exodus from Egypt. Haman is believed to have been a descendent of Amalek.
Groggers can be made of any sturdy material, but are usually made of plastic, wood or a flexible metal such as aluminum. Precious metals such as silver and gold are typically not used in Groggers because of their fragile nature unless they are accent pieces.
Groggers are Judaica items that can be decorated with almost anything imaginable, from simple colorful stripes to fancy depictions of Jerusalem in shades of green, yellow, red, orange, blue and purple. Many Groggers have the word "Purim" in Hebrew or English painted on the top or sides as well as the phrase "Happy Purim". Other popular decorations include Stars of David, Hamantashen, Masks, Megillah Scrolls. The cities of Shushan - where the events of Purim occurred - and Jerusalem are also common decorations.
Wood Groggers are the easiest type of Grogger to personalize and are often painted with names, scenes from the Megillah and different Judaica items related to Purim, such as Megillah Scrolls and masks.

"A Legend from the Hidden Leaf: The Onbaa!" (木ノ葉隠れの伝説 オンバアは実在した!!, Konohagakure no Densetsu, Onbaa wa Jitsuzai Shita!!) is episode 185 of the original Naruto anime.
A legendary creature, the Onbaa, attaches to Naruto's back after falling from a hawk that had it in its claws. The Onbaa started causing havoc wherever Naruto goes. Despite Naruto's efforts, it remains firmly attached to Naruto's back. Tsunade mentions that Jiraiya once went on an expedition when they were kids to find the Onbaa. Tsunade refused to believe that he could find one, however, Orochimaru stated that he was "betting on Jiraiya this time" before quickly turning around so that no one could see him and began blushing with embarrassment at his sudden outburst and for the fact that he never normally agreed with Jiraiya. Jiraiya then headed into the woods around Konoha and returned sometime later having written a report on Onbaa's, claiming that he had fought one, although Tsunade paid him no heed at the time, believing him to be a fool. The Onbaa continues to increase in size, eventually becoming larger than Naruto himself. However, during a mission, it aids Naruto, causing Naruto to reconsider their relationship, but the Onbaa's mother appears, driving Naruto off and claiming her offspring. The child manages to calm the mother, and the two leave. As Naruto returns to the village, most of the inhabitants have Onbaa on their backs, something Naruto finds absolutely hilarious and advises Tsunade to fight the Onbaa like Jiraiya said.

The tiny man you see here — and "tiny," of course, is relative to two men standing next to him; in reality, he's probably 6-foot-9 — is Steve Schanwald, executive VP of the Chicago Bulls. He was a very happy tiny man last night; it's a good thing Chicago isn't a huge city with a potentially rabid fanbase and a considerably vaunted history in the NBA, or someone might have said that thar thing was rigged.
It has been a whirlwind 365 days for the Bulls, who went from Expected NBA Title Contender to Team That's Firing Its Coach And Missing The Playoffs to Team That's Using Its Supposed Trade Chips Not For Kobe Bryant But Drew Gooden to ... winning the lottery. The choices are local guy Derrick Rose and muscular Michael Beasley; Blog-A-Bull is in favor of Rose.
The Heat will take whoever is left over, and then the Timberwolves, despite their special teddy bear, didn't end up with the top pick. Honestly, we thought Fred Hoiberg was gonna strangle that bear.
We're gonna talk about the Knicks' sixth pick a little later. But Chad Ford already has us very tickled.

This is going to be a short and sweet post.
Do you know of a charity that takes quilting fabric? If so can you send me the info?
Thanks in advance!
Now the giveaway. This is not an elegant giveaway. I have a ton of fabric I will never use again. I wish I knew a place locally that would take it but I don't. So I didn't fold it nicely and put a bow on it but it is a ton of fabric for free. There are two bundles so two winners will be drawn. All you have to do is tell me which one you like best. Please pick just one.. then I will put the names in seperate lists and draw winners for each.
1. Gobble Gobble by Sandy Gervais... a 1 gallon bag full of strips (for wonky log cabins but think of the spiderwebs etc that could be made) plus yardage... I haven't measured the yardage and I won't but it stacks up high as you can see compared to the gallon bag:
2. Authentic a small bag of large scraps and some yardage. There is a little there of all the fabrics in the line. It is the remnant of a fat quarter pack (some are full pieces that were too girlie for my son's quilt) There is one piece larger than a fat quarter as well. This is pre-washed.

California calls for a hearing to challenge the DOL's actions.
Choosing to not make the changes to its labor law the Department of Labor (DOL) had requested concerning its use of a "needs" requirement for the development of apprenticeship programs, the California Department of Industrial Relations (CDIR) will instead request a hearing to challenge the DOL's move to derecognize the state's State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA). The DOL had given the CDIR until June 13 to remove from the California Labor Code a stipulation that an organization must demonstrate a need for an apprenticeship program in a given area. The state also had the options to request a hearing or do nothing.
The CDIR's request for a hearing is the latest step in a process that began almost a year and a half ago when the DOL first deemed the state's needs standard capable of restricting and limiting apprenticeship training opportunities in California. On May 10, after attempts to come to an agreement on amending the requirement failed, Anthony Swoope, administrator for the Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services (OATELS), sent a letter to CDIR Director Stephen Smith informing him that OATELS, on behalf of the DOL, had begun proceedings to derecognize the state's SAA.
Smith says he was surprised the DOL took such a hardline approach to the needs standard because in initial meetings between the two sides the department hadn't explicitly demanded its abolition. He says he left those meetings with the impression the DOL would agree to a modified needs standard. However, the letter sent out last month states that the standard must be eliminated altogether.
"We have a state law passed by legislature and signed by the governor that clearly says 'needs standard,' and then we have the federal government saying clearly that no needs standard is acceptable," he says. "That's a fairly hard bridge to get over. Once it becomes that black and white, it doesn't loan itself to resolution."
Making the situation that much more contentious is the assertion by some in California that the needs standard is prejudicial against open-shop programs. California is traditionally a pro-union state, and groups like the Western Electrical Contractors Association (WECA) believe the state legislature in general and Gov. Gray Davis in particular are trying to exclude non-union programs.
Frank Stephens, government affairs director of WECA, recently said he believes many of Gov. Davis' recent bills amend apprenticeship regulations to favor union programs. Aside from the apprenticeship issue, he says the state's decision to mandate prevailing wages on private work could have a detrimental impact on independent electricians and contractors.
Although he admits to being aware of such concerns, Swoope is quick to point out that the needs standard and the subsequent derecognition process aren't issues of unions vs. non-unions. Instead, he says, it's an issue of how to "make sure that we have quality apprenticeship, and promoting and expanding the system so we can provide opportunities because of the shortages that are there in the skilled trades."
Despite the fact that Bob Baird is vice president of apprenticeship and training, codes, standards, and safety for the Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC), he won't apply an "us against them" label to the dispute either. "It's a situation where California is adopting regulations that are unduly restrictive to the expansion of apprenticeship programs in the state," he says.
However, the IEC had contacted the DOL prior to the derecognition process, lobbying for a change to or elimination of the needs standard, and Baird admits that had the number of union apprenticeship programs in California not been far greater than open-shop programs, the IEC wouldn't have complained. "But on the other hand, I have to say that with any organization, you pursue the issues that are of most interest to your membership," he says.
Regardless of who is running the training programs, numbers collected by the California Employment Development Department show that a need will most certainly exist over the next few years for as many apprenticeship programs as organizations are willing to start: The department projects a need for 45,160 electricians by 2005, an increase of 18%.
However, Smith says the CDIR has no plans to back down. "I would like to convince [the DOL] that some kind of reasonable needs standard can and should be in the law," he says.

Here, we have the leaders of the medievil team. From left to right,
the son of king awesome,Todd. Todd is one of over 2,050,000 of king awesome's sons, and the only one he has actually raised as a son. He is actually quite smart, but he is also a loud fellow, often blowing cover. He leads most military attacks.
King awesome is the same guy who rules the awesome empire in the future. He is a genius, but with somewhat deteriorated mental health. He also is a leading anti-immortal activist.
Finally, king awesome's cousin, who is a sorcerer.

Welcome Back
Today, I would like to share a picture of the piece I made for this month's, Virtual Crafting Challenge. For March 2010 the theme is 'C'. I've maxed out on the C's used in this project!
- Crafty Individuals Stamps
- Cuttlebug die cut letters
- Chip board (well matt board)
- The final piece is a Clip Board
So I recon this one counts 🙂
Stamps Used: Crafty Individuals; CI-116, CI-017, CI-173
Cuttlebug Alphabet; Olivia
Inks; Colour Wash Spray, in Denim. Distress Reinker, in mini mister; Pine Needles. Adirondack, dye based ink; Denim & Bottle
Paints Used; Acrylic Dabbers, Silver, Bottle & Denim
Alcohol inks; Bottle & Denim
This was my first crafty session in a while and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It just goes to show, it really does pay to buy the same colour pallet across a selection of ink/paint mediums. It gives you complete freedom to create, what ever the surface. You know that the colours will match and tone together 🙂 I love Ranger products 🙂
The background was created using Colour Wash inks, this is my own technique that I call Tiger paper.
I have got hold of some mini misters, to decant my colour wash ink into a smaller mister. The original spray bottles the Colour Wash comes in, are fantastic BUT they are keen and do require large areas to be covered with plastic to prevent them being covered in ink. Not a starter for filming! I plan to film a tutorial with the technique, so fingers crossed the mini misters will be safe with my camera.
This is a close up of the stamping before the dimensional distressed letters were added. Distressed letters may be coming up as a tutorial soon too 😉 Watch this space 🙂
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

Sometimes it is a struggle to get people to eat more healthfully. Your trainer or gym buddies can only be with you a fraction of the time. They can't always be around to encourage you to make better, consistent dietary decisions.
As a trainer, it can be discouraging when people show up for their workout session on an empty stomach or fueled incorrectly. This means I can't push them like I planned and their energy could plummet before the warm-up is over.
Working out on an empty stomach can cause a person to become exhausted very fast. One minute they are going fine and the next they have to sit and can't seem to catch their breath. They may feel faint and even pass out.
Conversely, if a person eats a big meal right before working out, the result is just as bad. The body is trying to digest the meal instead of concentrating on movements. Depending on how strenuous the exercise, the body may choose to forgo digestion and throw your food right back at you. Sometimes you make it to the bathroom; other times you pray there is a trash can nearby.
Then there is the eating foods of low nutritional value. They can take longer to digest and blunt the sharpness of your performance. Eating a large greasy meal and washing it down with a sugary beverage is not the best way to fuel performance.
I recommend eating a regular-sized meal one to two hours before working out. I advise my athletes to stick to unprocessed foods and to consume mostly meat and vegetables. A protein bar will do if you need something fast. Remember the goal is to fuel your workout. So food needs to be easily digestible and full of protein with carbohydrates so your body can have time to break it down. Carbs go to your energy levels and protein goes to muscle repair after you work out.
Getting this meal right can help you perform better and decrease next-day soreness. Your preworkout meal is just as important as adding weight to the bar during your workout. If you are improperly fed, you might as well not use any weight at all. Spend the time to foam roll and stretch some troubled areas. At least you won't pass out or puke.
Postworkout nutrition is just as important as preworkout nutrition. After a workout, your body's absorption rate is the highest it will be all day. This is because you have depleted your energy stores and your body is desperate to replace them. Eat within 60 minutes of completing your workout. Again, make that meal easily digestible. Concentrate on meat and vegetables: protein to repair muscle; carbs to replenish energy. I favor a protein shake for the car ride home and a real food meal after I get there.
Protein shakes are convenient. After a workout, they supply those readily digestible nutrients to your body. They generally have a good balance of protein to carbohydrate and can be pretty tasty. Some people are very specific when it comes to their type and brand of protein. Personally, I go for flavor. If it doesn't taste good, you will not like to drink it. And if you don't drink it, you won't benefit from it. If you are going to get into physique competition or upper-level sports performance and you are already eating every meal perfectly, you can tweak your protein shake to optimize your goals. Otherwise, stick to the healthy foods and most any shake will do.
That postworkout meal is your recovery meal. If you don't want to be sore for days and chronically inflamed, make that meal a priority. Don't give your body chips and beer when it craves meat and vegetables.
Some people like to take a pre- and/or postworkout supplement. The preworkout supplements generally have beta-alanine, argentine and caffeine, and some other proprietary blend of stuff to give super energy and muscle pumps. The post ones have amino acids (broken down protein chains) and carbohydrates. I'd shy away from them, especially if you do not have your nutrition dialed in. Good foods go a long way.
Check out the video online at lvrj.com/trainer to see trainer Laura Salcedo and me talk about nutrition. Consult a dietitian for more specific foods to fuel your workouts.
Chris Huth is a Las Vegas trainer and can be contacted at email@example.com. Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician.

What Are You Teaching This Fall?
What stood out to me was this: a lot of people seem to have pretty favorable course loads, and a lot of these people also teach classes that are capped at low, low levels. I'm teaching a large introductory-level lecture-hall class that's capped at 200, an introductory ethics class that's capped at 55, and an upper-division ethics class that's capped at 35. So I guess I'm kind of jealous of the people who are teaching two classes to a total of under 50 students.

I have a dreaded 4/4 with 4 preps at a small, religiously affiliated school of the kind that the Leiter petition and counter-petition were focusing on a few years back.
Two of my classes are GEs (intro and ethics), with 30 to 35 students in it. The other two will (a course in the history sequence and one near my AOS) each have only 10 or 12 students, bringing the total up to 90ish.

Are you paid more for teaching larger classes, esp. the 200 capped lecture course?
Most of the adjuncting I do is for courses capped between 25 and 35 students, and those courses are usually full. Even with consistent numbers, though, I find it makes a world of difference whether the students are motivated; so, I'd factor that in, as well.
- August 19, 2011 at 3:42 AM
3-3 load. This term, 2 business ethics and 1 social political phil. All capped at 30. Life is good when you teach for a small satellite campus of a big university. Research expectations are low too, though I spend more time doing research, writing and editing than teaching and service combined.
- August 19, 2011 at 4:23 AM
I'm an adjunct at a very large community college, and I'm teaching three courses (the cap for adjuncts per term is three):
Two sections of Intro to Philosophy (capped at 24) and one section of Intro to Ethics (capped at 24).
The non-tenure-track term-to-term faculty at my college have 6/6 loads this term. I believe they get health benefits, but I don't know for sure.

No, but it counts as two courses for the purposes of my 4/4.
- August 19, 2011 at 6:53 AM
Instrutor - Decent sized public U
Two Intro Logic - 80-85 students total
Biomedical Ethics - 35 students
Intro to Ethics - 40 students
I usually teach an upper division (and will next semester as well), but it is all lower division for me Fall 2011.
- August 19, 2011 at 8:22 AM
I've got two lower-level Ethics classes capped at 60 and two Honors College seminars, in Phil. of Religion and Political Phil., respectively, capped at 20. Also, it's probably worth noting that I have no TAs. I'd imagine having tons of students in lower-level classes would be a lot better with some of that slave labor.
I'm just happy to have a semester in which I have less than 200 students. This coming spring I'll probably have about 220 students between three lower-levels and one upper-level.

This is off-topic but: does anyone know the publication schedule for the JFP? (This information was available on the old site but hasn't yet been posted on the new one). I know the October JFP will be published the first week of that month, but I was wondering when they stop receiving submissions for the current summer web ads.
- August 19, 2011 at 1:05 PM
I'm tenured at a community college..
With a 3 credit course release for being department chair, I'm teaching 3 sections of logic capped at 40 students each and 1 section of ethics capped at 50... I consider 170 students to be a light semester.
My first semester here I had 2 Intro and 3 Ethics sections, each capped at 50 -- 250 students with all new prep was exhausting.
- August 19, 2011 at 4:26 PM

Dag, Zero. That's some harsh labor camp teaching load ya got there.
I have a 1/1 load in this, my first year as a TT asst. prof. I'm teaching Ethics this semester, capped at 35, and I shall not be complaining about my teaching load. When I was an adjunct at a small state U, I used to teach 2/2, capped at 30.

I teach 4/4; I'm a contingent faculty member. I just about always have two preps. The courses are usually either all intro-level service courses or three of those and one more interesting course. Caps are generally 45.

I'm in the UK, so what's meant by teaching a course might be slightly different, but here's what I have:
One course on Mill's moral and political thought. Capped at 48, but expecting around 27. My job will be two lectures a week, plus I think I'll be taking the three weekly seminars (higher level course, so no TAs). This is a new prep.
Also I'll be contributing a total of six lectures over the semester to team-taught intro courses. Those are the ones with 100-250 students, but lectures are divided between us and all the seminars are taken by TAs.
Finally, I'll be co-teaching a Masters level seminar with one colleague. It's basically just a reading group, with me (on average) having to run it every other week - though I'll try to attend most weeks unless I have a clash (which I do for two of the above lectures).
So my weekly average contact hours are around 6.5 (plus two office hours).
- August 20, 2011 at 1:34 AM
Well, I think I have a great load, but it's a VAP, so there you go. 2-2 load, capped at 80, grading assistance provided. 2 of them I have taught before. Wish it was permanent!
- August 21, 2011 at 6:16 AM
2 courses. One undergrad course (w/TAs) and one graduate course. I don't know what the numbers are yet, but I know the grad course will be tiny and the undergrad course won't be huge. Next semester I'll be teaching one graduate course. It wasn't always this good. I used to teach 4/4 with courses capped at 55 and would regularly pick up adjunct work to supplement the pittance I was paid by a very swanky private school. I'd have hundreds of students and every once in a while they'd be spread across two campuses. On one campus, my office was a bench in the hallway. On the other, I had an office in what used to be a storeroom. It didn't have a desk or a computer so I had to carry in my own. The door to that office didn't lock so I'd often have to kick kids out who thought (quite reasonably) that that couldn't have been anyone's office they were hanging out in while waiting for class. Life's better now.
- August 22, 2011 at 9:55 PM
tenure track at a state university. capped at 200 this semester. Next semester I'm capped at 210. No TAs. All different courses.
Don't get how one can sustain viable research with a large teaching load.
- August 22, 2011 at 11:53 PM
Two classes this fall, teaching at a SLAC. One is an upper level seminar, capped at 10. The other is a freshman seminar, capped at 18. The freshman seminar is a gen-ed course with readings from a large number of disciplines, so there will be a great deal of prep for that course. Still, I feel many days like I've won some kind of lottery.

The Gypsy Vanner is a breed of horse with its origin among the Irish Travellers, or Gypsies, of the British Isles. In the United Kingdom, it is usual to refer to them as "traditional coloured cobs", or "piebald/skewbald cobs". These horses are also called a Gypsy Cob (USA ), Irish Tinker Horse, (in Germany and Netherlands), Irish Cob, Piebald (in Ireland), or Gypsy Vanner (USA). Bred for strength and docility. The typical horse measures 14.0 - 15. hands. (info from Wikipedia)
05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines. What that means is that it's going to take me a lot longer to get anything done. You never realize how important a thing like a finger is until you damage it!!! Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...

Muslim Students Share Cultureby John Budnik '05 • November 5, 2004 Share:
Curried scents filled Wabash College's dining hall in the Sparks Center as members of the Muslim Students' Association served more than 130 faculty, students and guests Nov. 4 at the fifth-annual Ramadan Dinner.
The MSA celebrated Ramadan, the month in which the Islamic holy text or Quran was revealed to Mohammed, with a dinner. The dinner was held in memory of Ryan Champion, a Wabash student who died in a car accident Friday. Members of the Wabash community shared in the cross-cultural event.
"This isn't just about a meal, it's about getting people acquainted with Islam outside of media misperceptions," MSA member Samuel Haque said.
Sarah Eltantawi (in photo above) was the featured speaker. Eltantawi consults American organizations about Islam. Recently she spoke at the Democratic National Convention about the need to reach out to the Muslim community.
Eltantawi spoke about changes within the Muslim community since September 11, 2001. She said Sept. 11 sparked a dialogue about women's rights, which had previously been a taboo subject. She said in order to change the external image of Muslims, Muslims had to change the way women are treated within the community.
MSA members worked quickly to set the tables before guests arrived. The dinner was cooked by Taj of India, an Indianapolis-based restaurant. Haris Amin, Syud Momtaz Ahmed, Zafer Ahmed and Samuel Haque served guests traditional Indian dishes of chicken curry, lamb curry, vegetable Biryani - a rice and vegetable dish - and pakora - deep fried onions and vegetables. Guests enjoyed the food, many returning for multiple helpings.
Professor of Religion David Blix enjoyed the positive message the MSA dinner sends to the Wabash community. Many students shared his sentiments. Trey Chinn said Wabash has been a place of greater cultural awareness for him and the dinner allowed him to meet another culture face-to-face.
"I felt it was a nice way to participate in the Wabash community," Steven Rhodes said.
Even recent Wabash graduates returned for the event. Syud Amer Ahmed who graduated in 2004 and is studying economics at Purdue University returned to see friends and former professors at the Ramadan dinner.
The dinner allowed Muslim students to share their faith and culture with their professors and fellow students outside of class.

Alrighty folks. The company I am working for wants me to start doing their graphics. I told them, I really don't want to but they like my work so they said they would buy me a machine just for my graphics. So, I told them I would think about it.
I am looking at the new Apple Power MAC G5 with an Apple 20" monitor. This looks like a really nice machine. Has anyone had any experience with it, and if so what was it like. Also, if you don't like it what would you suggest.

One of her latest personal works that I found quite interesting is a photographic book project that documents the life of a girl named, Roxanne. The project went on from 2000-2006 and it documents intimate details about her life. It is a quite interesting and long project with images that do not disappoint. Her website also has a variety of commissioned and more personal projects.

Measles Travels: Stay Healthy at the Summer Olympics
Summer is here! Many people may have the opportunity to travel abroad for vacation or even for the Olympic Games in London. Measles is still common in many parts of the world. So, if you travel abroad, you may be exposed to people with the disease. Measles can cause serious complications. Make sure you are protected in advance.
Travelers Can Get Measles Abroad
Leave Healthy; Return Healthy
Before traveling abroad, make sure you are vaccinated against measles.
- Infants 6–11 months of age: 1 dose
- Children 12 months of age or older: 2 doses (separated by 28 days)
- Adolescents and adults who have not had measles or been vaccinated: 2 doses (separated by 28 days)
Measles can occur anywhere. Measles is still common in some parts of Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. Last year, over 30,000 people in Europe had measles. Worldwide, about 20 million people get measles each year.
Thanks to widespread measles vaccinations, measles was declared eliminated from the United States in 2000. That means measles no longer occurs year round in the United States. But, the disease is still brought into our country by people who get infected abroad. In 2011, 222 people in the United States were reported to have measles. U.S. residents and visitors got measles abroad and brought it to United States and spread it to others. This caused 17 measles outbreaks in various U.S. communities last year.
Measles Spreads Easily and Rapidly
Measles is highly contagious, and it easily spreads to unvaccinated people. About 90% of unvaccinated people will get measles if they are exposed to an infected person.
Measles spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. So, you can get measles if you are in the same room or place as an infected person and even after they leave. Measles virus can stay in the air for up to 2 hours.
While traveling, you could be exposed to infected people almost anywhere, including airports, airplanes, buses, hotels, restaurants, and stadiums.
Infected people can spread measles even if they do not have the measles rash yet. So, you never know when you might be exposed to someone infected with measles virus.
Make Sure You Are Vaccinated Against Measles
The best protection against measles is the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. This safe and effective vaccine is strongly endorsed by medical and public health experts. CDC recommends that children get two doses—the first dose at 12 through 15 months old and the second dose at 4 through 6 years old.
Check Other Vaccinations
You should be up to date on all other vaccinations before leaving for your trip. Check your medical records. Visit your healthcare provider to see what vaccinations you might need.
For those who plan to travel abroad, CDC recommends that children 12 months of age or older should have two doses separated by at least 28 days. Adolescents and adults who have not had measles or been vaccinated should get two doses separated by at least 28 days. There is a special travel recommendation for infants 6 to 11 months to get an early dose of MMR vaccine to protect them from measles.
Most health insurance plans cover the cost of vaccines. But, you may want to check with your insurance provider before going to the doctor. If you don't have insurance or if your insurance does not cover vaccines for your child, the Vaccines for Children Program may be able to help you.
Know the Symptoms of Measles
While on your trip and also when you return, check yourself for symptoms of measles. The symptoms generally begin about 7 to 14 days after you are infected. Measles typically starts with fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and sore throat. Three to five days after these symptoms start, you will get a red or reddish-brown rash. It usually starts on a person's face at the hairline and spreads downward to the neck, trunk, arms, legs, and feet. If you have these symptoms, you should stay away from others and call your doctor immediately.
Measles can cause serious complications, such as pneumonia or encephalitis, and even death. Some people are at greater risk for complications, including infants, young children, people with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women.

"Are you bringing replacement parts?" my doctor laughed. When my shoulder was at its worst, I'd purchased an anatomical model of the rotator cuff and took it along to one of my appointments in hopes that the doctor would explain exactly what was wrong.
Apparently that's not something people usually do.
So now, do I also purchase a foot? I'd love to know what's going on with my feet. It would be awesome if this new doctor has ideas on making my feet feel better. I had some stretches and exercises that helped for a while, but things have gotten worse again.
It's pretty frustrating. To someone who believes in cause and effect, haphazard occurances… argh! This is driving me crazy!
- The spread of germs, and subsequent illness are understandable.
- Sprains, broken bones, and pulled muscles all have specific causes. While not pleasant, they are understandable.
The body just arbitrarily experiencing pain when there was no injury is NOT understandable. I want a reason for all these things. I want to know why this happened, and what I can do to prevent recurrance. "Nobody knows" is a highly unsatisfactory answer.
Diagnosis and treatment aside, though, I've gotten pretty fascinated with anatomy. The way the body works (or is supposed to work) is amazing. I'd be quite happy to learn about various aspects of the human body without having to experience malfunctions with each and every system!
Yesterday I phoned my rheumy's office (apologized for bothering them – I know how busy they get) and asked if the doctor has a strong preference for the specific podiatrist to whom I've been referred. We like my son's podiatrist, and I would like to see him instead of going to someone new — unless there's a particular reason to see this other guy. Not a problem! What a relief to not have all that paperwork. This podiatrist is great. How can you not like someone who brings his dog to the office?!
