Page Content
A minimum of 120 credit hours earned with a minimum of 30 credit hours completed at JU.
A minimum of a "C" (2.0) average for all work taken at JU.
A student must satisfy all requirements of the University Core Curriculum in addition to all major and degree requirements.
A student is responsible for meeting the specific graduation requirements of the selected major and degree. A student who pursues more than one major must meet all degree requirements for each major.
A student must have at least a "C" (2.0) average in the major.
At least 12 credit hours in the major in courses numbered 300 or above must be completed at JU.
A minimum of forty-two credit hours must be in courses numbered 300 or above.
Students electing to pursue the requirements for a minor must attain at least a "C" (2.0) average in all the courses required of the minor.
The final 30 credit hours toward a bachelor's degree must be completed at JU. If a student participates in an approved JU Study Abroad Program, 15 of the last 30 credit hours maybe completed in the Study Abroad Program.
Students must take sufficient elective courses; i.e., courses outside of the core curriculum and major field requirements, to bring total credit hours earned to the minimum required for the degree.
The University is committed to ensuring that all of its graduates have effective communication skills. The following requirements in writing, speech and reading are designed to further that goal:
Freshmen English (ENGL 103) requires a minimum grade of "C-" (1.67).
Writing courses at JU are intended as practical introductions to the writing required by each respective discipline and are offered at the 200 level and above. Each major requires one upper-level course that is Writing Intensive. If the major program is unable to offer such a course, a WI course in a cognate discipline or ENGL 214WI will suffice, with approval of the college dean. A WI course must require at least 6,000 words of written prose, exclusive of tests, and it is recommended that the course:
Emphasizes the inherent writing processes associated with the discipline.
Familiarizes students with the discipline's research methods and genres.
Provides students with feedback on their writing.
Encourages struggling writers to seek assistance in the Writing Center.
Enrolls fewer students than a comparable non-WI course (ideally capped at 18)
All students must complete one three-credit hour course in speech or a speech-intensive course designated by the major. Speech-intensive courses are designated "SI" in the Catalog.
Based on placement results, Basic English (ENGL 100N) and/or Elements of Composition (ENGL 101), along with Reading Strategies for College Students (EDU 101), may be required of incoming students.
The University is committed to preparing each student for lifelong success in learning, achieving, leading and serving. To that end, all students must complete, with a grade of "C"/2.0 or better, three (3) credit hours of experiential learning, defined as one of the following:
Undergraduate research, XXX 373/374; Departmental Honors, XXX 397/398/497/498; Research intensive, "RI" designation,
Internship, XXX 390/490,
Study Abroad, JU 409 required co-requisite, OR
Service Learning, JU 408 required co-requisite
Students completing the Bachelor of Arts degree must meet the Core Curriculum Global Studies foreign language requirement. It is recognized that bilingual and non-native English speaking students have special competencies and fulfill the spirit of the foreign language requirement. Therefore, University policy is:
Non-native English speaking students will have the foreign language requirement waived. They will be identified as those students who submitted TOEFL test scores as part of their entrance requirement to the University.
Bilingual students will be assessed in their second language to determine their proficiency level. The University may determine that the student is sufficiently proficient in his/her second language competency to preclude an assessment test and, therefore, waive the foreign language requirement on a case-by-case basis.
A student who earns a grade of "F" for a course at JU cannot repeat the same course or a comparable course at another institution for transfer to Jacksonville University.
Pass/Fail requirements for classes in the Core or Major are found in the Academic Information Section of the catalog under Pass/Fail Option.
A student is responsible for meeting the requirements of the Catalog under which the student enters. A student may elect to change to the requirements of subsequent Catalog editions. However, the student must then meet all the requirements of the subsequent Catalog edition that is chosen. A student automatically comes under a new Catalog when re-enrolling after an absence of one year or more.
The policy concerning the awarding of more than one bachelor's degree includes:
Any additional bachelor's degree to be earned by a student, either coincident or subsequent to having earned an initial bachelor's degree at JU or elsewhere, will require a minimum of 30 credit hours credit in residence at JU above and beyond the credit hours included in the initial degree.
To be awarded an additional degree, the student must satisfy the requirements of a major different than the major(s) earned with the initial degree.
The student must complete all core curriculum requirements for the additional degree and major(s), including at least 12 credit hours in the major(s) in courses numbered 300 or above.
Jacksonville University will not award more than one of the same bachelor's degrees, i.e., Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Music Education, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Bachelor of Business Administration, etc. It is, however, possible to earn more than one bachelor's degree provided that the degrees are different and all core curriculum and major requirements are satisfied.
The policy concerning the awarding of majors includes:
A student may earn more than one major with a bachelor's degree provided the major is offered with the degree and all core curriculum and major requirements for the degree and each major are satisfied.
Subsequent to having earned a bachelor's degree at JU, a student may complete additional course work to satisfy the requirements of an additional major. The awarding of additional majors will be indicated on the student's transcript as a comment at the end of the transcript provided all core curriculum and major requirements for the degree and major are satisfied. This policy does not extend to the awarding of additional minors.

The Mass Illustrated for Children Bulk Pack (25 copies)
Now in its Second Edition—updated for the new Roman Missal!
Unlike many other children's guides, The Mass Illustrated for Children invites young people to color the pictures and scenes that lead the child through each element of the Mass. To help children follow along, the Priest\'s prayers are highlighted in red, and the congregation\'s responses are clearly marked in a distinctive font. A helpful commentary explains the history and meaning of each element of the Mass, encouraging the child to delve ever deeper into its mystery and meaning, and develop that fundamental reverence which will nurture maturing faith.
This booklet was published by ResSource, Ltd., based out of Oxford, England, and is distributed by Thomas More College in North America.
Bulk order 25 copies and save 10% off the single book price.

Today is the 2nd Sunday of Advent. I am preparing for Christmas. Since my childhood I have been really fond of Christmas-trees and candles on the tree. But my father has always been afraid of fire, therefore candles were lit only when my parents were present. It changed with the strings of bulbs. They introduced a new game: when decorating the tree, one had to test the string since the low voltage … Read More

Pituitary Tumors
Early Detection, Diagnosis, and Staging TOPICS
Previous Topic
How are pituitary tumors diagnosed?
Next Topic
How are pituitary tumors treated?
How are pituitary tumors staged?
Staging is the process of determining how far a cancer has spread. This is done to guide treatment and to help determine the most likely outcome for the patient. However, since pituitary tumors are nearly always benign, there is no staging system for them. Pituitary carcinoma is too rare for a staging system to have been developed.
Currently, the most useful information for guiding the treatment of an adenoma is:
- Whether it is a microadenoma (smaller than 1 centimeter across) or macroadenoma (1 centimeter across or larger)
- Whether it has grown into nearby structures (such as bones of the skull)
- Whether it is functional (producing hormones) or non-functional
- Which hormone it releases

The issue I am faced with currently is the option to "avoid toll roads" was available when i used Waze while I was driving in Australia, and i turned it on in order to avoid the toll roads - as i was driving a rental car, and did not have a toll tag.
Now that I am back in Malaysia, the option has disappeared from my Waze menu (same device), and i am stuck with the option being enabled. Waze is consistently asking me to use the old trunk roads (no toll), when the tolled roads (all highways) is the better option..
davipt wrote:Pelle924 wrote:Problem is, i can't activate "avoid tollroads", because i just don't have this option;)
Oh, that. But isn't there any Auto-Bahn with tolls in Deutschland? I know the ones around Düsseldorf where I lived were all free, but I had a feeling there were some (update: wikipedia says no, only trucks and electronic non-stop payment).
You can always ask for the toll road option, because Nordschleife is officially a "public road with tolls"
Update: it may happen that as soon as you cross the French border you may get an server push that may enable the avoid tolls. I'm not sure about this. This is based on the knowledge that my Portuguese friends when fly to Germany or Holland will get their clients update with the German or Dutch TTS languages, but no idea about the tolls nor am sure when the update happens - right after crossing, or may need a restart, or may need some hours, sorry.

RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 18, 2014 – The James Madison men's tennis team opened its season by posting a 1-1 record Saturday at the VCU 4-1 Invitational. The Dukes opened play with a 5-0 loss to the host Rams, but bounced back with a 3-2 win over Temple.
The event consisted of four singles matches and one doubles match. In the win over the Owls, the Dukes won the top three singles matches.
Sophomore Robert Stirling (Caboolture, Australia/St. Columbans College) continued his success in dual matches from last season, when he finished with a record of 11-8. Playing at No. 1 singles against Temple, Stirling rolled to a 6-3, 6-4 win over Hicham Belkssir, who won two tournaments during the fall season.
A pair of freshmen picked up their first career dual victories as Sebastian Salinas (Merida, Mexico/Preparatoria Abierta SEP) and Brett Moorhead (Midlothian, Va./Cosby) won at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively. Salinas topped Santiago Canete 6-2, 6-3, while Moorhead beat Filip Stipcic 6-1, 7-5.
Another set of freshmen, Niels Kathol (Bonn, Germany/Collegium Josephinum Bonn) and Mason Smith (Norfolk, Va./Cape Henry Collegiate School), played well in a losing effort. The duo fell to Kristian Marquart and Vinset Naran 6-7 (11), 6-4, 13-11.
JMU will have a three-week break before it returns to action against Georgia Southern on Feb. 8, and East Carolina on Feb. 9. Both matches will be played in Greenville, N.C.

Negative Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Pearson in January 2013.
Interview Details I contacted the HR after graduating since I did an internship wth this company regarding open positions in Project Management in California. The HR sent me a link to do an interview online that had seven questions and also asked me to upload my most recent resume and some personal info. The interview questions were very specific to the position and I believe not very related to my past professional experiences. They were looking for a senior project management and I haven't had so many years of experience in this field. I never received any response either from the HR or from the manager. I think the company should have a better retention program after we put so much work and effort during our internship and could at least contact the candidates to let then know the results.
Interview Question – Provide me with an overview of your professional background as it relates to this job.
Share an overview of your work history; specifically, whom did you work for, your role there, and if you are not currently employed, what prompted your departure. Please elaborate on your current employment situation and past two jobs.
What has prompted your interest in Pearson, and why did you apply to this job in particular?
Describe a recent situation when you manage multiple simultaneous projects, many of which involved change requests to existing products and functionalities. What was range of the scope of these projects?
Describe a situation when you were responsible for managing contract requirements and changes, including obtaining costs and developing pricing estimates
Describe a recent process improvement initiative you implemented in order to promote quality and cost reduction
What are your salary requirements? Answer Question

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through a staffing agency and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Pearson in November 2009.
Interview Details Pearson is know to have an extensive and exhaustive interview process for some of their IT positions. Mine was not as extensive, as the interview process started with the hiring manager, then a group interview with some of the key people on the team to get an idea of whether personalities might fit. The culture is pretty relaxed, business casual 2-3 days a week, many in IT are casual (jeans) 4 days a week, which is important to some. Office is very nice, commute reasonable, and very security conscious.
I am currently consulting at Pearson VUE and have grown to really enjoy it.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details – I am consulting so the negotiation took place with my consulting company. Any rate increases were initiated by myself, then negotiated by the consulting company through Pearson.
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Pearson in May 2007.
Interview Details I was interviewed by a number of Pearson managers over a period of 2 months. The job offer was actually extended early in the interview process; however, negotiations took the full two months to complete. The position was specific, a customer who sought litigation yet was a key account for the company. The objective was to provide customer relationship support and program management experience to turn around the failing project and restore value to the customer and to Pearson. Pearson was completely up front in terms of the difficulty of the job. In turn, I also offered my goals for additional education opportunities and growth, which have since been honored by the company. Interviews ranged from HR, mostly to gather certain baseline information regarding salary and benefits, to other project managers, directors of operations, and the Vice President of Services. I felt that the interview process was thorough and included investigation of my previous employment experience and recommendations from external industry clients.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details – Most of the 2 month period I was being interviewed by Pearson, we were also negotiating with each other. An approach that worked for me was to be completely open about my future goals for education and growth in the company, and salary. I researched the company before joining and noted a specific area of the business in which I wanted to help grow the company. In exchange, Pearson wanted me to take on a very difficult assignment. Opportunities for growth in the company would be contingent upon performance on that assignment. These opportunities have been honored since that time.

Repair your Shoes Today and Save 10% Off!
WORST SERVICE EVER. I brought in 2 purses. Came in to get them 2 weeks AFTER they were supposed to be done and they hadn't even started on them. They acted like it was no big deal. 2 weeks later called to make sure they were done, and not only did they not do what they promised to do, but they were so extremely rude about it that I was completely baffled. Extremely terrible business practices!!
Awesome Service! Just couldn't believe it. After multiple so-so experiences at nearby cobblers I tried Derek's. I started them out with a simple re-heel that they gave me back the next day. I then gave them 2 pair that needed new leather half soles and heels. I got those back in two days and they turned out beautifully! The last project that I gave them was a conversion of a leather soled shoe into a full-length vibram rubber sole. This time I took advantage of their free delivery and 2 days later I got my shoes back. With their 10% off for pre-payment the prices actually turn out to be lower that the other guys I had tried out. These guys get the job done quickly, the quality is top notch, and bend over backwards to serve. They offer curbside service, free delivery, discounts for pre-payment, a web site to check and see if your order is complete, and a nice little shop. Oh, I almost left out... they sell a punch card for shoe shines (10 shines for $30). You only pay $3/shine and if you get one done while you wait they give you a coupon for $1 off a coffee at the Fresh Pot right across the hall in Morgan's Alley! All this and their short turn around times make Derek's a must try, even if you're a regular somewhere else.
Head over Heels for Derek's! – Derek's is awesome. 2 months ago I needed new leather soles on my Fryes. They were completed in just two days. Best of all I pre-paid to get a discount and then when I went to pick them up I just game them a call and they ran them out to me at the curb! I have had some other leather sole repairs at other downtown shops that did not hold up very well. I have been tramping around on these for more than a month and am very happy with the quality of materials used. I love that they are friendly and organized, I was even able to check on their website to verify that my order was able to pick up. I saw something on their website that they now offer free delivery... another bonus! I'll definitely be going back to Derek's!
I love Derek's – I took three pairs of shoes to Derek's and they did an excellent job replacing the soles. Two leather sole projects came out better than original with better quality leather and excellent craftsmanship. They did such a good job cleaning and polishing the shoes that they looked better than they had in years! On anther project they repaired the straps on my purse so well that I can't even tell where the repair was made. The other bonus is that I got it all back in less than a week. Where else can you get that! I also love looking through all their footwear books and magazines while I'm there. I highly recommend Derek's.
Fantastic Service – I needed an emergency heel repair Stopped in at Derek's and they repaired my heels on the spot and gave me a $2 coupon to get a coffee next door while I waited! They even did some extra unexpected touch-ups on my scuffs and gave me a beautiful pair of shoes back... all in the time that it took me to just get my coffee!
Terrible Service/Quality – Either this shop has changed hands, or the quality/service level has gone down dramatically. I took in a pair of shoe's that needed to be restitched. They were supposed to be ready in 2 weeks, but when I went to pick them up, they could not find them. I didn't have long to wait, so I came back a few days later. After ~15 minutes, they found them and the work had not yet been done. They told me they would do it ASAP and would call me when it was complete. A week later I called them, the work was still not done, but they said I could pick the shoes up later that day. They were finally ready when I went back the third time, more than a month after originally promised. I mentioned my dissatisfaction, whom I had talked to once before. He seemed completely disinterested and was actually rude in saying they offer no refunds.
Also, I later noticed that even though I had prepaid, they still charged me the full price (it's supposed to be a small discount for pre-payment). I suppose that's my fault for not noticing when I paid, but it annoyed me considering everything else.
My wife and I have used this shop for several years, and it used to be great. It's really too bad that the work and the service have gone so far downhill.
Worst job ever! Worst service ever! How DO THEY STAY IN BUSINESS??? – Took in a pair of white satin heels to be dyed to match formal evening dress. Shoes were not ready when promised. Came back in 2 days and shoes had white streaks on heel and vamp where dye had not covered. Came back next day (afternoon of my event) to get promised fixed job. Shoes looked the same. I took them home and covered white satin with marker so I could wear them that eveing.
Worst job I have ever seen. Least professional service I have ever seen. Will NEVER use them again.
Dreadful, – I am so livid with Derek's shoe repair, I have made a point of loging in
and filling out a profile, to make people aware.
Derek, made alterations to my girlfriends $350 riding boots, (which were brand new/un worn) lowering the height. To be quite honest it's the worst job I have ever seen, the leather has been badly cut, nothing lines up, stitching is inconsistent, the boots are ruined . Frankly it looks like a 10 year old child made the alterations with a pair of scissors. I was so disgusted with the so called" work" and the fact my girlfiend had to pay $75 for Derek to ruin her boots.
I went down there to complain and ask for a refund or some kind of explaination as to the poor craftsmanship...Derek, seemed to think that his work was good enough. I won't embarrass Derek by posting an image of the sub-standard work.
Derek if you read this, its not about the money... you can keep that ..its the fact you can whole heartedly stand behind your poor workmanship and say its the best you can do. You went on to add you have been in the business for over 20 years. In all honesty, if thats what you've learnt in 20 years, you should be embarassed...
I actually would put Minus stars if I could.
Multiple crappy experiences – I'm not a vindictive person, but the service at this place makes me angry. I kept going back, thinking it would get better or they were just having a bad day. The shoe repairs are subpar, they don't bother to polish your shoes after they're fixed and I've heard more than once, "We can't fix that". I understand them trying to do right by the customer if a repair isn't going to last very long. But if the shoe is basically trash without the fix and I'm willing to pay, then why tell me no? The guys behind the counter are nice enough, but they have this laissez-faire attitude that is just maddening. Most notable example: I brought in a pair of shoes with a loose heel. The fellow who helped me said that he wasn't going to be able to tell if they could fix it until he took the shoe apart, but that they would call me in a couple of days if they couldn't fix it. I left my cell number. The pickup date he gave me was for two WEEKS out. They always want at least a week and a half, which is a long time to be without your shoes. But I digress. The two weeks pass and I drop in to pick them up. The same guy hunts around for my shoes for a while and then must have found them in a pile marked, "hopeless cases", because he says they were unable to fix them. I asked him about the phone call I was supposed to get and he just shrugged like a guilty fifteen year old and said, "Yeah...sorry 'bout that". I went back three more times for new heels and was never once happy with the results. They insist that you wait until after 4pm on the pickup date, and yet EVRY SINGLE TIME I go in to get my shoes, they make me wait another 15 minutes while they "finish things up". I swear I think they're doing the repair right then! Poor service, badly managed, no sense of urgency, "Take it or leave it" attitude.
I choose to leave it.

The Cover-2 defense is boring. And it lacks creativity.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard that about the two-deep scheme the Bears still lean on in their game plan.
Sure, they have become more "multiple" with coordinator Rod Marinelli in his third season under coach Lovie Smith. This unit indeed will show some zone pressure and also play man-coverage.
But this still is a Cover-2 team. And no one in this league plays the scheme better or attacks the football in their zone shell like the Bears do.
This defense has yet to give up a big play in Cover-2 this season. Moreover, opposing teams haven't figured out how to consistently run against their seven-man front, and the Bears are producing turnovers at a frantic pace.
Heck, Tim Jennings, Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman can make early plans for a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.
Why is that? Why can the Bears take a basic scheme — one that shows up in high school ball on Friday nights — and beat up the NFL with it through five weeks of the season?
Coaching. That's why.
Go ahead; draw up Cover-2 on the chalkboard.
Two deep safeties aligned 15 yards off the ball with underneath zone defenders and a four-man rush. It doesn't even look cool compared to some of the exotic pressure schemes the 49ers, Steelers, Ravens, Packers and so on run.
However, this goes much deeper than X's and O's or game plans. Smith has created a style, a culture that players buy into.
This starts in the offseason. The drill work is based on getting to a landmark, reading the quarterback and breaking on the ball. And repetition is king. They do the same drills over and over so they can make plays in this defense.
The idea is to stay square, trust your eyes and explode out of your break with speed. Execute that and scoring on defense, well, is expected.
A ball on the ground? You scoop it up and take it all the way to the end zone. It doesn't matter if a ball falls off the back of an equipment truck in Bourbonnais during training camp. If it's on the ground, someone in a Bears uniform will go get it.
Interceptions, fumble recoveries, you name it, the Bears practice taking the ball away every day. It doesn't matter if it's a 7-on-7 session during minicamp. If the opportunity is there to make the play, they get to the numbers and put the ball in the end zone.
I got a taste of it myself when the Rams hired Smith after my rookie season in 2000 to fix our defense. We thought we played fast and we talked about creating turnovers the previous season.
But we had no idea how slow we really were playing until Smith showed up.
I barely made it through the first mini-camp practice, and I wasn't alone. Guys were bent over, tired, gassed, ready to vomit. We started the day with full-speed pursuit drills and ended every play with 11 helmets around the ball.
We ran all afternoon and also learned that talk is cheap when it comes to forcing turnovers.
Instead of going through half-speed post practice drills where we would "punch" the ball out amid laughter and jokes, every play in practice became an opportunity. It didn't matter if we were in shorts and helmets. When the offense had the ball, it was our job to rip it out.
That's contagious. It really is.
If you do it enough, it becomes a part of your routine, your preparation for Sundays.
Watch this Bears defense yourself. It's fast, aggressive and plays with an opportunistic style the veterans cultivate and the younger talent develops.
Rush four and drop seven. It can't be that simple, right?

RIDGWAY – For quite a few years, the log building that housed Re/Max Realty in Ridgway, sat empty. Now, it's come back to life with the color of fresh fruits and vegetables, with a gallery of oil paintings by Greg Hunger, with jams and juices from Hotchkiss, and with what fruit stand manager Tamara Bosie calls "the Munchies Room."
She's serious. All of this new activity near the intersection of Highways 550 and 62 is happening thanks to Chris and Beverly Sanchez, who also own the Acme Healing Center medical marijuana dispensary in the north corner of the building.
The snacks and juices in the Munchies Room will undoubtedly prove a welcome temptation for dispensary clients. It is also designed to serve the drop-in needs of the traveling public. "We hope to provide for locals and tourists both," said Bosie on Monday, during the multi-faceted enterprise's grand opening.
Sanchez, who also owns and operates the only approved marijuana grow operation in Ouray County, just south of Ridgway, took out a lease on the former real estate building for his dispensary and realized he wanted, indeed needed, to put the entire building to work. Having grown up in Gilroy, Calif., the self-proclaimed "Garlic Capital of the World," in a family involved in the transport and warehousing of fresh produce, "He grew up around fruits stands," Bosie said. "He decided to put that deep knowledge to work here."
For now, the produce filling the bins outside on the porch is coming from a distributor in Denver, most of it grown in California and Mexico, Bosie said. "But come harvest season, we're hoping to have lots of local fruits and veggies: Green River melons, Hotchkiss apples, Olathe sweet corn, Palisade peaches."
There is already a room inside (Bosie calls it the "Special Room") devoted to regional, mostly Hotchkiss-prepared foods. (The Sanchez family lives in Hotchkiss, on the North Fork of the Gunnison, as did Bosie before she moved to Ridgway last fall.) There are jams and jellies from Fire Mountain Fruit, honey from Montrose, and packaged juices and applesauce from Leroux Creek Farms.
The great room of the former real estate office is now "The Gallery." Large oil paintings – fishing eagles and desert canyons – by Elk Meadows artist Greg Hunger cover the walls. Prints and some originals are for sale. Hunger's daughter, Brooke, is a manager of the dispensary business.
The Sanchez entrepreneurial reach extends to dispensaries in Crested Butte and Durango as well. He has told the Ridgway Town Council and the Ouray Board of County Commissioners that he would like to expand his grow operation when and if state regulation of recreational marijuana is successfully adopted.
Meanwhile, the business of fresh fruit will suffice. And the allure of the "Munchies Room."
The Old West Fruit Stand is open seven days a week at 157 U.S. Hwy 550, next door to Ridgway Outdoor Experience.

Tim Catz' 70 RPMsPosted in 70 RPMs on July 11th, 2012 by H.P. Taskmaster
In his third column for the site, Roadsaw bassist Tim Catz takes a look at a few of the "Evil Women" from classic rock's days of yore. From ELO to Black Sabbath, there never seems to be a shortage of witchy ladies to serve as muse. Please enjoy:
Tim Catz' 70 RPMs
"Evil Women"
It is a premise so old and familiar it's hardly worth mentioning. But for the purposes of this article I'll explain: The idea is women are evil. They have been since the dawn of time. And the badder they are, the more inspiring they are those who honor them in song, story and art. Just ask Adam about Eve. Shakespeare had Macbeth. Greek mythology had Pandora. And rock 'n' roll in the '70s had scores of hit records about them.
Probably the most popular was Electric Light Orchestra's "Evil Woman." Taken from their 1975 album Face the Music, it was the band's first Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic. With its sing-song chorus and crazy phasor string breaks, "Evil Woman" very succinctly packed every ELO pop-rock trademark neatly into a four-minute spoonful of pure FM sugar that still gets ample play to this day on "classic hits" radio.
Crow's "Evil Woman (Don't Play Your Games with Me)" may have shared the same name, but not the same music, nor the same popularity. Driven by a muscular bluesy rhythm section, the Minneapolis quartet was quite surprised to find an "enhanced" version of their original "Evil Woman" on their Columbia Records debut. Whether against their wishes or even unbeknownst to Crow members, label bigwigs conspired with the studio engineer and overdubbed a full horn section over the song in an effort to cash in on the wildly popular Chicago/Blood Sweat and Tears sound of the day. And it worked. Crow's "Evil Woman" was a Top 20 hit, peaking at #19.
My personal favorite is Spooky Tooth's version. Deep on side one of Spooky Two, their nine-minute version of Larry Weiss' much covered original finds frontman Gary Wright in prime form, with his ragged voice switching between a pleading growl to high-pitched accusations, all while smashing on organ keys. The entire record resonates with a loose rough 'n' ready sound, which is nowhere more evident than on this track. Of course Gary Wright would soon leave the Tooth of Spook and smooth out much of his rough edge in a bid for the Pop charts. "Dream Weaver" and "My Love Is Alive" are evidence of such.
Whether its "Witchy Woman" by The Eagles or "Devil Woman" by Cliff Richards, one thing remains certain even to this day: Bad girls are good for rock 'n' roll.
* Black Sabbath recorded a version of Crow's "Evil Woman" and released it as their first single. Though it didn't appear on their Warner Bros. debut in the US, it was on the UK version.
* Before everyone sends terse emails my way, yes, I know both Spooky Tooth and Crow released their versions in 1969. That's close enough for me…

OLNEY, Va. (AP) - Another arson fire on Virginia's Eastern Shore is under investigation.
Virginia State Police say the latest fire damaged an airplane hangar in Olney on Friday night.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that officials say no one was inside the hangar at the time of the fire.
More than 40 arsons have been reported in Accomack County since Nov. 13, 2012.
No one has been injured and all the structures have been abandoned.
Investigators believe most cases are the work of the same person.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest.

Crosstalk: Inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD) in a humanized in vitro model
Crosstalk: Inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD) in a humanized in vitro model
Funding Type:
Early Translational II
Grant Number:
Approved funds:
Disease Focus:
Parkinson's Disease
Neurological Disorders
Collaborative Funder:
Stem Cell Use:
iPS Cell
Cell Line Generation:
iPS Cell
Public Abstract:
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder. It is characterized by motor impairment such as slowness of movements, shaking and gait disturbances. Age is the most consistent risk factor for PD, and as we have an aging population, it is of upmost importance that we find therapies to limit the social, economic and emotional burden of this disease. Most of the studies to find better drugs for PD have been done in rodents. However, many of these drugs failed when tested in PD patients. One problem is that we can only investigate the diseased neurons of the brain after the PD patients have died. We propose to use skin cells from PD patients and reprogram these into neurons and other surrounding cells in the brain called glia. This is a model to study the disease while the patient is still alive. We will investigate how the glial surrounding cells affect the survival of neurons. We will also test drugs that are protective for glial cells and neurons. Overall, this approach is advantageous because it allows for the study of pathological development of PD in a human system. The goal of this project is to identify key molecular events involved at early stages in PD and exploit these as potential points of therapeutic intervention.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The goal of this proposal is to create human cell-based models for neurodegenerative disease using transgenic human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells reprogrammed from skin samples of highly clinically characterized Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients and age-matched controls. Given that age is the most consistent risk factor for PD, and we have an aging population, it is of utmost importance that we unravel the cellular, molecular, and genetic causes of the highly specific cell death characteristic of PD. New drugs can be developed out of these studies that will also benefit the citizens of the State of California. In addition, if our strategy can go into preclinical development, this approach would most likely be performed in a pharmaceutical company based in California.
Progress Report:
Year 1In the first year of our CIRM Early Translational II Award we have largely accomplished the first two aims put forth in our proposal "Crosstalk: Inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD) in a humanized in vitro model." Dr. Juergen Winkler, in Erlangen, Germany, has enrolled 10 patients and 6 controls in this project, most of which have had a biopsy of their skin cells sent to The Salk Institute in La Jolla. In Dr. Gage's lab at The Salk Institute these patient fibroblasts are being reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and initial attempts at differentiation into dopaminergic neurons are underway. Additionally, patient blood cells have been sent from Dr. Winkler's clinic to the lab of Dr. Glass at UC San Diego, where their gene expression profile is being determined. In this initial reporting period we are successfully building the cellular tools necessary to investigate the role of nuclear receptors and inflammation in Parkinson's Disease.
Year 2In the second year of our CIRM Early Translational II Award we are making substantial progress towards completing all three aims put forth in our proposal. Dr. Juergen Winkler, our German collaborator, has completed the patient recruitment phase of this project, and skin cells from all 16 subjects (10 with PD and six controls) have been reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. The patient-specific iPSCs have been differentiated into well-characterized neural stem cells, which the Gage lab is further differentiating into both dopaminergic neurons and astrocytes. In addition to collecting patient skin cells, Dr. Winkler's group has collected blood cells which are currently being analyzed for gene expression differences by Dr. Glass' lab at UCSD using state-of-the-art RNA sequencing technology. We have identified a compound that is anti-inflammatory in human cells that we will test on the patient-specific cells once we finish building the cellular tools required to investigate the role of nuclear receptors and inflammation in Parkinson's Disease.

AUSTIN -- On Sunday afternoon James Ochoa went to work thinking, "it's really warm."
"You would think it is August outside," Ochoa said. But moments later he yelled, "Oh my god it is really cold."
As the cold front moves through Central Texas, local doctors stress taking extra precautions to stay warm.
The colder temperatures are a concern for emergency room doctors like Dr. David Kaylor at Scott & White Hospital who want to prevent people from getting sick.
"Dress appropriately and wear layers of warms clothes and really stay dry," Kaylor said.
He said every winter emergency room visits also spike because of carbon monoxide poisoning.
"There are a lot of space heaters, kerosene heaters, fireplaces in use and they have to be well ventilated," Kaylor said. "Carbon monoxide is a silent killer. You can't smell it, you can't taste it and they will present with nausea and vomiting."
He said it's important to monitor heaters. If you se them, make sure your home is well ventilated.

Oh my goodnes, YES! I love the cleaver pumpkin! Such skills!
And the bat pumpkin was super awesome. I'm surprised parts of it didn't snap while you were carving it.
Pumpkins carved by me and my friends. Mine is the disgruntled one on the very left.
I tried to carve a bear, but it looked more like a walrus, so I carved a face on the other side. LOL

Project abstract for group gagliard
Quantum Chemical and Classical Simulations of Systems Containing Transition Metals
It is now possible to study chemical systems containing transition metals and even heavier atoms like lanthanides and actinides with quantum chemical methods. This group has been active in this field and has acquired an expertise in developing and applying quantum chemical methods for the study of systems containing heavy metals. This research is strongly connected with experimental work in that it inspires possible future experiments and it confirms and/or refines existing experimental results.
The group uses MSI resources to perform calculations on the following chemical problems:
- Homogeous and heterogeneous catalysis in energy-related processes
- Reactivity and separation processes in nanoporous materials
- Heavy element containing chemical systems.
A bibliography for papers acknowledging MSI resources is attached.

Steve McQueen's star-studded '12 Years a Slave' a powerful achievement
By JOCELYN NOVECK Associated Press – Wednesday, November 6, 2013
Movie review
5 (out of five stars)Director: Steve McQueenCast: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael K. Williams, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Lupita Nyong'oRated: R for violence/cruelty, some nudity and brief sexualityRunning time: 1 hour, 13 minutes
Is it possible to convey, through the experience of just one man, the sweep and enormity of the horror that was American slavery?
That, quite simply, is the formidable task that British director Steve McQueen has set for himself with his new film, the blistering "12 Years a Slave."
And even if the movie weren't as good as it is, we'd need to thank him for trying; far too few filmmakers have had the courage or initiative to address head-on the darkest chapter of U.S. history.
As it happens, the film is stunningly good, thanks both to McQueen's unflinching, unsentimental approach and to impeccable casting, most crucially of the wonderfully expressive Chewitel Ejiofor as a man with a truly extraordinary, and extraordinarily true, story.
The film is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a black man who was born free in New York. In 1841, Northup, a skilled violinist, was lured to Washington, D.C., with the offer of work. Instead, his "employers" drugged him and sold him to a slave trader.
The very title of the film gives away a key fact, but it's hardly a spoiler. The crux of the movie is not whether, but HOW, Northup summoned the strength and the cunning to survive 12 years in the hell of a series of Louisiana plantations.
Crucial early scenes depict a comfortable, happy life in Saratoga, N.Y., where Northup lived with his wife and two children. That all changes in one hellish moment, when he awakes in shackles, his wallet and papers gone, and realizes he has no way of proving who he is. He loses even his name.
Soon, Northup's on his way to Louisiana. Shock — his, and ours — deepens as he stands for inspection, surrounded by other slaves for sale, many naked, poked and prodded like cattle by their seller (a frighteningly banal Paul Giamatti) who has no problem separating a mother from her small children. (Later, as the mother, a moving Adepero Oduye, weeps, her new mistress consoles her: "Your children will soon be forgotten.")
Northup's first owner, William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) is, in the scheme of things, a more sympathetic type, and he appreciates his new slave's intelligence. But he's powerless to protect Northup from a sadistic overseer (Paul Dano, reliably chilling), and a confrontation Northup has with the overseer leads to one of the film's most excruciating scenes, perhaps one of the most painful in any film about slavery. Hung from a tree, Northup is left to dangle for hours, teetering between life and death. His toes, which barely touch the ground, are his only hope.
All the while, plantation life continues in full view of this horror: children playing, other slaves working, the mistress looking on from the porch.
Northup survives, but only to be sent off to another owner, the monstrous Edwin Epps, who cites scripture as support for 150-lash whippings. Epps, mesmerizingly portrayed by Michael Fassbender, a McQueen regular, also has sexual desires for a lovely young slave, Patsey, who has to endure not only Master's advances but the poisonous, violent jealousy of his wife (Sarah Paulson, also excellent.)
A scene in which Patsey is subjected to Epps' most crazed fury is so harrowing, you may need to close your eyes — but don't. Newcomer Lupita Nyong'o is shattering in the role.
But the film truly belongs to Ejiofor, whose big, soulful eyes seem to register so many things at once: Shock, pain, grit, determination, abject despair at times, cautious hope at others and, always, dignity.
"I don't want to survive," he says at one point. "I want to LIVE." But before he can live, he must survive. It's an extraordinary tale. How McQueen and his team portray that tale is quite extraordinary, too.

Connxtions Comedy Club Presents:
Chris Killian - 8:00 PM
Lansing, MI
Saturday, June 15, 2013
Price: $15
Chris grew up outside of Nashville TN, & nothing came easy for him. He was a small guy with big dreams, but lucky for you, none of those dreams materialized, so he decided to pursue stand-up comedy. Armed with a guitar, Chris' comedy has been described as "edgy and smart," but that's probably only because he likes wearing a sweater vest. Chris' laid-back demeanor and aggressive hilarity catches crowds of-guard. His songs launch into an array of raunchy, satirical, and self-deprecating lyrics.

Michael, 4, and his younger brother cooled off by taking advantage of the water sprinklers at Freedom Park near Oxford Lake. They were just two of the hundreds who turned out at the lake Wednesday for the Oxford Freedom Festival.
It was near noon when Oxford resident Dawn Washington arrived at the festival with Michael and Colin.
"It looks like there is a lot to do," Washington said. "I go to the park a lot but this is the first time I've ever come out here for the Fourth."
The festival featured free paddle boat rides on the lake and miniature train rides for children and their parents. There was also plenty of vendors and music. Residents were free to bring their pets to join in on the fun. Unlike previous years, however, the nearby Oxford Civic Center was unavailable for use since it is currently being expanded. A large fireworks show was scheduled at the lake that evening.
"I'm coming back tonight for the fireworks," Washington said. "Hopefully it won't get rained out."
Jennifer Senter of Oxford said she wanted to return to the lake in the evening for the fireworks show as well.
However, she was not sure if her 19-month-old daughter Noelle would let her.
"I don't know if she'll last that long," Senter said with a laugh.
Though an Oxford resident, Senter was a first-timer at the festival Wednesday.
"It's great … I'm impressed," Senter said.
Senter said her daughter particularly enjoyed the train ride and the dogs that some residents had brought.
"She loves the dogs," Senter said.
Stephanie Mayfield of Lincoln said her family decided to try a change of pace and have its regular Fourth of July reunion at the festival this year. Mayfield, who has relatives in Oxford, said her family normally celebrates the holiday atop Mount Cheaha. This year, Mayfield will have about 50 family members from Montevallo, Lineville and north Gadsden.
"We decided this year to pick somewhere a little bit closer for everyone and we wanted the chance to see the fireworks," Mayfield said as her aunt prepared a large picnic table at a pavilion by the lake.
Mayfield said that from what she'd seen so far, the festival seemed like a good event.
"I've even saw that they have fried Oreos," Mayfield said with a laugh. "Those are pretty good."

I thought if there was a problem with music, they would just mute the video, not deny the attempt. Y'all are getting too snippy about these trifling details. Having music isn't causal of her attempt, so turn your sound off and let it be.

In Lindsey's Video there is definitely music in the background which is definitely against the rules. It clearly says that no copyrighted material may be allowed in the video and several other videos have been denied because of that exact reason. For fairness reasons you must treat this video as you have others. Otherwise, it is discriminatory. (On the other hand, great music choice. Lol)

response to previous attempt
Mike Bolotnikov
why was my attempt denied?
response to previous attempt
Rob Birdsong
Hi Cody, we had to deny your attempt because you were touching your shirt and holding the pillows in your shirt with your faorearm. Its a violation of the " - may not touch shirt once attempt has begun" piece of criteria. Try this again, without touching the shirt and we will be happy to review
response to this attempt
Peter Craig
It should be encouraged for any future attempts that the pillows be shown either at the beginning or probably better at the end for proof.
response to this attempt
Peter Craig
Don't want to add fuel to the fire but I think this record should still stand if the only reason for failing is because the pillows weren't seen being stuffed - so the first attempt from the Stride Marketers should be failed or reposted as they set the example of what is acceptable evidence and didn't show it themselves.

Now that's talent.

nice idea one in the front one in the back
response to this attempt

Hi Dayton, if you could re-submit this record and show yourself placing the pillows in the t-shirt prior to the record I think everyone would feel a lot better about your attempt. Otherwise,I applaud your creativity with the neck-approach.
