An Ayurvedic Cleanse provides an opportunity to slow the flood of physical and environmental stressors so that the body can rest, recuperate, and repair itself. Though a cleanse is primarily food based, lifestyle recommendations help you to make the most of this healing process.
Here are a few tips for Lifestyle Choices to Support Your Ayurvedic Cleanse:
- Keep your activities as quiet and mindful as possible.
- Surround yourself with things that you find uplifting and nourishing.
- Minimize stress and exposure to frantic or disturbing environments.
- A cleanse can stir up unresolved emotions so it is important to be prepared for some emotional purging as well. If intense emotions arise during or after your cleanse, greet your emotions with compassion, observe them with detached awareness, and allow them simply to move through – honoring yourself in the process.
- REST as much as possible. You can ensure that the bulk of your energy is devoted to cleansing by minimizing the number of resources that your body allocates elsewhere.

quote:no-interest sharia banking
quote:I'm totally willing to convert for 0% interest
quote:Anyone ever utilize no-interest sharia banking,
quote:If so, how does it work?
quote:I thought they served infidels?
quote:principal and interest
quote:so the no-interest part is BS? or do they just add fees and service charges to replace interest?
quote:Sharia banking is that interest is evil,
quote: they just change the name of the profit portion to make themselves feel better
quote:It's all a fixed payment "fee" that is not delineated as principal and/or interest. Only when you analyze the amount of the payments and the number of payments do you realize the payment is suspiciously similar to a fixed rate mortgage loan consisting of principal and interest.
quote:The major difference is that if you default you have zero equity. Amirite?

Civil War History in Cooperstown
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is so much more than a shrine to baseball's best players, managers, executives and umpires. As a Museum, we preserve and share baseball's history each and every day. That history includes the storied past of the major leagues, but it also reaches beyond that.
Baseball has a unique cultural connection to our nation's past, and our collection of nearly 40,000 artifacts allows us to show visitors the emotional connections with baseball that Americans have made for over 150 years.
Take for instance, this baseball – a fitting artifact to highlight given that today marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history and the event that led Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. This ball was made by David E. Wheeler in the late 1850s. Born in Ohio, at a young age Wheeler moved with his family to Independence, Iowa. He was the eldest of three sons in the Wheeler family, and in August of 1862, at the age of 20, he enlisted in the 27th Regiment of Iowa Volunteers. Less than a year later, Wheeler died of disease at Camp Jackson, Tenn., on March 27, 1863.
David's younger brother, Jonathon Judson Wheeler, kept this baseball as a keepsake of his older brother, whom he idolized. J.J. placed a handwritten note on the ball that reads: "This Ball was made by David Edgerton Wheeler, the last one he made and used the last term of school he attended." The younger Wheeler died in 1938, but the baseball remained with the family and part of the family's lore. That same family lore tells us that David was gregarious, intelligent, and also a highly talented athlete.
In 2008, the great-grandson of Jonathon Judson Wheeler donated the baseball to the Museum. Today, this baseball allows us to reflect on how generations of families bonded together with baseball. It also reminds us of the tremendous sacrifices made by young soldiers during a challenging time in our nation's history.

London is overflowing with culture. The city is full of fabulous museums like the Natural History Museum, the surprising Tate Modern on the Thames shores, or the famous wax museum Madame Tussauds.

The city of William Shakespeare is a real world reference when it comes to cultural offer.

Music is also a constant in the various Playhouses of the city, such as Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican Arts Centre. The London Philharmonic Orchestra, based in the Royal Festival Hall is one of the worlds most prestigious, just as the National Royal Ballet. In other chords more to the rhythm of rock 'n roll, why not go to the first Hard Rock Cafe in the world? Or if you enjoy the rocking buy tickets to one of the many musicals on stage in London.

Obama is way too apologetic to the world, and why is he so worried about apeasing the world, but stepping on eggshells over the funeral and releasing picutres. Nobody will not be able to handle seeing them, when have seen much worse. They will find excuses for revenge regardless of pictures, and if on just our site we have 2 fakes already, may as well post the real ones and get it over with.
Either way, people like Cole will never believe the real pictures anyway, and everyone seems to be totally disregarding every other evidence to a point it makes no sence. there is no doubt, Navy Seals went to that compound Sunday, the entire town watched them. Just to plant a helocopter and blow it up? The compound of people may be the scurge of the earth, but the story they will tell is the truth. Bin Laden lived there, was killed there, and taken from there. Those are sourses not from the USA. The compound of under the guard of the Pakistan government, and NEWS from around the globe is all over that location, so it did happen IMHO.

Rated 5 out of 5 by happyshopper Perfect for travel!
When this arrived I was pleasantly surprised at the size. It was bigger than I expected, but not too large for a carry on. Although I have not yet used it, I will certainly make this my "go-to" the next time I have a trip. I use my Ella nylon tote all the time, and this has the same feel -sturdy, durable and stylish. I am sorry I didn't order the matching train case!

Rated 5 out of 5 by promogirl Just what I was looking for
Super carry on bag-I had been looking for a decent bag that was stylish too. Sorry that i didn't purchase the leather version when it was on sale. It has a nice size zippered pocket inside and 2 other open pockets. Great carrying strap or carry it by it's two handles. Color is a nice dark red with leather trim. I do wish it had feet because i am not sure how it will look once it gets dirty.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Youngest Great overnight bag
I purchased this bag as my carry on for my honeymoon to Australia and its really pulled its weight. Most designer weekend bags usually dont have the extra shoulder padding, but this bag does which makes it easier to carry around and doesnt dig into your shoulder. I plan to continue using this bag as my mini vacation bag and couldnt be happier. Please note that the magnets on the side of the bags that should hold the pocket close doesnt work too well when the bag is center heavy. The nylon is also thicker than I expected which was a nice surprise. The bag tag also does not come with a card that you can just fill out. You will need to cut one to fit in the tag. I purchased this bag with 10% off which made me a little sad since I did see a previous comment that did say they got it at 25% off, but I am happy with my purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by June211 Rare Find
I had been looking for a stylish weekender for months, striking out with all of my go-to designers/brands and then I came across this Tory duffle. The price was more than I would spend for a nylon bag, but I kept going back to it since I couldn't find anything comparable! In the end, I bought it during one of Tory's recent sales and I couldn't be happier with my choice; it is a great size, color (I purchased the cinnamon) and has a durable feel. I expect it to get a few dings, but having traveled at length with other bags/luggage I can tell this duffle will wear well over time. The only complaints I have is that the two handles are a little on the small side for the option to carry it over your shoulder like a large tote and there isn't an insert to keep it from sagging, which is why I gave it four and not five stars. Overall, I would recommend this bag to anyone that travels moderately and is looking for something more chic than your average piece of luggage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by annafree Perfect Weekend Duffel
Personally I am always hesitant to purchase anything that's nylon, but this duffel has far surpassed my expectations. The nylon is thick and seemingly durable. It should be easy to keep clean. It's the perfect size for weekend trips. I bought the navy one, and the leather trim is really great quality, as well as a great complementary color. I actually wasn't expecting such fantastic quality trim. I did, however, buy this at 25% off, and I don't think I would have bought it at full price if it weren't for the sale. I can't wait to actually use it for my trip home from grad school this weekend; it's the perfect size, and I suspect it can be used as an appropriate carryon as well!

5 ...Like Awesomesafcgac | 05/06/2013 | See all safcgac's reviews (9)Cracking album from QOTSA. Track 3 could easily be a bond song (strangely). The album just seems to flow from track to track and before you know it the album has run it's course.... so you have to listen to it again. Solid effort from the lads. Wouldn't be surprised if it appeared in the top 3 by the end of the week. A must buy.
5 RUNS LIKE CLOCKWORKHONESTBAZ | 14/06/2013 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299)Top 100 Music Reviewer For anyone into the not so rocky side of QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE,this shouldn't disappoint. It is very them,mellow,experimental and superb.I can't fault what they've done with this one,even if it does lack a rock fuelled punch. It is another great sounding album by a band with a unique sound,many tracks sound great first listen,others will no doubt grow and eventually be loved.Their next release may well be back to the rock side,which I have no problem with,but for now,this will receive many a listen.

Magnolia salicifolia 'Wada's Memory'
Deciduous, Trees
MAGNOLIAMagnolias are magnificent flowering plants featuring blossoms in white, pink, red, purple, or a more recent development, rich yellow. These plants show a remarkable variety of leaf shapes and plant forms. New varieties and hybrids appear every year, but distribution is spotty in local nurseries. Many more kinds are available from mail-order specialists.
Magnolias include both evergreen and deciduous types. Most have large, striking blossoms composed of petal-like segments, but a few are grown for use as foliage plants.
For any magnolia, choose the planting site carefully—virtually all of these trees are hard to move once established. Magnolias never look their best when crowded. Pick a location where the shallow, fleshy roots won't be damaged by digging or by soil compaction from constant foot traffic. All magnolias may be used as lawn trees; try to provide a good-size grass-free area around the trunk, and don't plant under the tree.
Magnolias appreciate fairly rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil amended with plenty of organic matter at planting time. They will grow in somewhat alkaline soil but may develop chlorosis. At least in the early years, keep a cooling mulch over the root area.
Irrigate deeply and thoroughly, but don't waterlog the soil or the tree will drown. Only M. virginiana can take constantly wet soil.
Feed trees if new growth is scanty or weak, or if you see significant dieback despite adequate watering and drainage; use a controlled-release product. Treat chlorosis (lack of iron—common in alkaline soils—that shows up as yellowing between leaf veins) with iron chelates.
Leaf damage can result from excess mineral salts in the soil or salts in irrigation water. The latter is a problem in Southern California and, typically, the factor limiting success of magnolias in desert regions.

The Political Science Major: Mission Statement.
The mission of the Political Science major is to develop in our students the ability to apply informed, reflective, and sophisticated analysis and judgment to the major issues of contemporary political life. Our curriculum attempts to develop this ability in three related ways. First, it provides each student with basic substantive knowledge of politics through the study of the major fields of the discipline - political theory and philosophy, the American political system, the major political systems around the world, and international politics and institutions. Second, the major is designed to provide students with training in some of the major conceptual, theoretical, and methodological tools of the discipline, and in the application of these tools to the analysis of contemporary political life. Third, we stress the general abilities of clear and precise writing, and the development of persuasive empirical and normative arguments, throughout the curriculum.
Together, we believe that these three dimensions of our curriculum - which are combined in different ways in each of our courses - contribute to the development in our students of the ability to be informed and effective analysts of political life. As such, we believe that these skills and abilities are part of and contribute to the development of the capacities for critical thinking and judgment necessary for attaining the overall mission of the Westminster College curriculum.
The Political Science Major: Outcome Statements.
In order to effectively assess our progress in achieving our mission as we have presented it, the Political Science faculty has identified the following outcomes as skills or abilities all of our students should attain by the time of graduation:
Identify and analyze the central questions and problems that are common to all the "sub-fields" of political science.
Explain and evaluate the major theoretical approaches in the discipline today, and apply these approaches to the analysis of a major development in contemporary political life.
Apply one (or more) of the major methodological approaches in the discipline to the analysis of a pressing problem in contemporary politics.
Develop and defend a normative argument concerning the meaning and/or application of an important values involved in political choices.
Demonstrate an understanding of the relevance of the theories, concepts, or methods of (at least) one other discipline to the pursuit of knowledge about political life.
How the Outcomes Are Pursued in the PS Curriculum?
The Political Science curriculum is organized into three broad sections, each of which focuses on a particular set of outcomes, and/or pursues these outcomes in different levels of depth and detail.
1. The Core Introductory Courses:
Political Science Majors must take each of these courses:
Political Science 101 – Introduction to Political Science
Political Science 102 – American National Government
Political Science 103 – Introduction to Political Philosophy
Political Science 104 – International Politics
These courses aim to provide students with an introduction to the main areas or "sub-fields" of the discipline. After completing these courses, students should have a basic grasp of the subject matter and substantive concerns of Political Science, a familiarity with the major conceptual frameworks and theoretical approaches in each sub-field and in the discipline as a whole, and a sense of the variety of methodological approaches employed by Political Scientists to study politics.
As such, these courses focus on Outcomes 1, 2, and 3, with an emphasis on Outcome 1. The courses provide a basic introduction to the subject matter of Outcomes 2 and 3.
In order to secure these outcomes, we use a variety of teaching methods and assignments in the Core Courses. Lectures and presentations are employed to provide students with an orientation to the worlds of politics and Political Science, while in-class discussions, group work, and short assignments ask students to apply key concepts and theories to some of the pressing problems of contemporary political life. These assignments are supplemented by more traditional exams – which aim to provide an overall assessment of the student's grasp of the essential concepts and subject matter of Political Science – and analytical and/or research papers, which try to assess the student's ability to use the concepts and theoretical approaches of the discipline in more in depth study.
2. The Upper-Level and Elective Courses:
Political Science majors must take one course in each of the following categories, and three more electives from the entire group of courses.
American Politics.
PS 150: The Politics of Rock & Roll
PS 212: The Congress
PS 213: The Presidency
PS 214: The Courts
PS 311: Campaigns and Elections
PS 411: Political Psychology
Seminar in American Politics
Seminar in Political Behavior
Political Theory and Public Policy.
PS 221: American Political Thought
PS 222: Modern Democratic Ideologies
PS 241: Public Policy
PS 321: American Constitutional Law: Government Powers
PS 322: American Constitutional Law: Civil Rights & Liberties
PS 323: Modern Political Philosophy
PS 342: Politics & the Economy
Seminar in Political Theory
International and Comparative Politics.
PS 231: Comparative Communist Governments & Politics
PS 232: Comparative European Governments & Politics
PS 233: Governments & Politics of Third World Countries
PS 234: Irish Politics and Society
PS 331: Geopolitics
PS 332: U.S. Foreign Policy
PS 431: International Law and Organization
Seminar in International Politics
Seminar in Comparative Politics
These courses aim to engage students in more advanced study of Political Science. Here, we attempt to provide much more complex and sophisticated explorations of the major theoretical traditions in the discipline, focusing on the unique directions taken in the different sub-fields. In these courses, we aim to ensure that student's are able to understand, critically appraise and evaluate, and thoughtfully use the best of Political Science scholarship. At this point, we move beyond the application of theories and concepts to the world of politics, and ask students to use their knowledge of political life to reflect upon the strengths and weaknesses of the discipline's theoretical tools and frameworks.
As such, these courses focus on Outcomes 1, 2, 3 and 4. Outcomes 1 and 2 are explored in much more detail through the analysis of contemporary work in Political Science, as course projects engage students in much more depth in the application of the theory and methods of the discipline, the focus of Outcomes 3 and 4.
In order to secure these outcomes, our approach in these courses relies much more upon the active engagement of students in the critical evaluation of contemporary scholarship in the discipline. This approach includes the assignment of more intensive papers and projects involving contemporary research in disciplinary journals and monographs, exams that ask students to critically analyze current debates in the literature, and presentations in which students are asked to employ their knowledge of theory and practice to suggest and explore new problems and questions in each area of the discipline. In essence, these courses move in the direction of providing all students with sustained seminar-like experiences, which we believe best encourages the development of the skills of critical analysis.
It is important to note that our curriculum structure at this level, which still requires the distribution of courses across the major fields of the discipline, places special emphasis on the development of a broad sense of the direction of Political Science. (Outcome 1) As an undergraduate liberal arts major, we believe that our program should privilege the development of a sense of the common questions shared by all scholars in the discipline, as opposed to a specialization in one particular area. This is particularly important in Political Science, a discipline characterized by a wide diversity of subjects, traditions, and methods.
3. The Research and Capstone Experience.
Political Science majors must take each of the following three courses, which together make up the Capstone requirement:
PS 301: Research Design & Analysis ("Junior Seminar")
SSC 252: Data Analysis
PS 601: Senior Capstone
PS 301 is taken in the Spring semester of the Junior year, and SSC 252 is taken in either the Fall or Spring of the Junior year. PS 601 is taken in the Fall semester of the Senior year. In any given year, PS 301 and 601 are united by a common theme and taught by the same faculty member. In PS 301, students review the main methodological approaches in Political Science and develop a Research Project, which is completed – along with further exploration of key theoretical disputes in the discipline – in PS 601.
As such, the Research and Capstone Courses focus on Outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 5, which a particular emphasis on Outcomes 2 and 3. (Student work may also emphasize Outcome 4, depending on the substantive nature of the Research Project.)
Together, these courses prepare the student to carry out a substantial research project on an important issue in contemporary politics or Political Science, and require each student to finish and present the results of that project in a format that matches a typical submission to a refereed journal in the discipline. These requirements aim to address key disciplinary outcomes. Drawing on the students' previous work in the major, the Capstone courses demand that each student demonstrate an understanding of some of the central theoretical and methodological controversies at the cutting edge of the discipline, and the ways these controversies manifest themselves across of the sub-fields of Political Science. In order to assess this understanding, students are assigned critical essays on one or more of these controversies. (Outcomes 1 and 2) They also demand that each student demonstrate the ability to carry out independent political research that illustrates the ability to understand and apply the theoretical and conceptual tools of Political Science with facility and sophistication. We assess this outcome through the assignment and development of a substantial research project, in which students are carefully followed from the framing of the research question, to the development of an appropriate methodology, through the completion of a polished paper. (Outcomes 2 and 3) Finally, the PS 301 and SSC 252 courses introduce students to a broad range of social science methodologies (not just Political Science), while the substantive readings in PS 601 always examine the similarities and differences in the ways other social science disciplines approach a key problem in contemporary politics.
How Are Outcomes Assessed in Political Science?
In order to assess the degree to which our students are meeting the Outcomes of the Political Science major, the Political Science faculty pursue the following three strategies:
1. Course Assessments.
The majority of assessment of the Political Science major - concerning both the abilities of students and the effectiveness of our teaching - occurs in the context of the usual assignments connected with the curriculum - exams, research papers, normative essays, quantitative analyses, in class projects, etc. These assignments are designed to evaluate what the students are learning, how well they can demonstrate their learning, and the effectiveness of our teaching strategies. Each faculty member reviews the results of these assignments on a regular basis, using them to adjust courts content and teaching strategies. To be more specific, here is a sense of how each outcome is assessed in our courses:
Outcome 1 - Training in the ability to identify and analyze the questions and issues that animate the "sub-fields," and are common to them all, is built in to the structure of the major. Each student must pass an introductory course in the discipline as a whole, an introductory course in each of the sub-fields, and at least one upper-level course in each of the sub-fields. In the capstone, we return to an emphasis on the commonalities across the sub-fields - which we emphasize in the first introductory class - and require students to demonstrate an understanding of these through exams and a seminar-length research paper.
Outcome 2 - The requirement to demonstrate the ability to explain and analyze the major theoretical approaches in Political Science is built into all of the course work in the major, but is emphasized especially in the upper-level and capstone courses. Assessment of this ability comes mainly in form of exams and papers. The Capstone research project centers on the application of one or more theoretical approaches to a problem in contemporary politics.
Outcome 3 - Training in the methodological approaches in the discipline is specifically provided at three points, the Junior Seminar (PS 301), SSC 252, and the Senior Capstone (PS 601). SSC 252 focuses especially on the understanding and use of quantitative and methods to analyze political life. The Junior Seminar reviews the process of framing a research question, developing a project, and choosing the appropriate methods for that research. Each student has to complete an approved Capstone project proposal to pass the course, in which these skills are evaluated. The Senior Capstone emphasizes the completion of the Research project and discussion of its place within the discipline as a while. In this Project, students are expected to clearly choose a methodological approach, defend its use while acknowledging its limitations, and demonstrate the ability to apply it properly to the analysis of a given problem.
Outcome 4 - The ability to develop and defend a normative argument is the focus of training in the coursework in Political Theory and Public Policy. All of the courses in this area require students to demonstrate this ability in exams and papers. However, this kind of outcome is also often required in courses in other areas of the discipline, and may be the focus of a student's work in the capstone course as well.
Outcome 5 - The ability to understand the relevance of other disciplines to the understanding of politics is a focus of training throughout our courses. The introductory course situates Political Science in the context of other disciplines, and other courses ask students to explore the connections between their major and such disciplines as psychology, sociology, economics, and philosophy. In accordance with overall college policy, consideration of these issues is built into the Senior Capstone course as well.
It should be noted that our assessment strategy in these courses focuses on student work product, not on student course evaluations. While we read these for feedback on our work as teachers, we believe student evaluations to be of little systematic use in evaluating our efforts.
2. Collaborative Review.
The Political Science faculty are engaged in regular collaborative review of our work with students, in which we consider our successes and limits in achieving our Outcomes. This review takes three main forms:
Informal Discussion – Political Science faculty regularly discuss matters related to teaching in a variety of informal venues, such as chats over coffee, conversations regarding the work of specific students, and discussions of teaching strategies and methods. These happen throughout the course of the year, and provide some of the most valuable ways to assess our work.
Faculty Reviews – The process of the annual faculty reviews, mid-probationary and tenure reviews, and promotion reviews provides the Chair (and in some contexts all department faculty) an opportunity to provide feedback on the work of each faculty member. This feedback is based upon classroom observations, review of syllabi and course evaluations, and in depth individual conferences. In addition, Capstone faculty are able to assess the progress of individual students and identify strengths and weaknesses in specific areas of the discipline; this form of assessment is regularly shared with other department faculty.
Annual Retreat – Each summer the Political Science faculty convene a day-long retreat off campus to assess the work of the previous year, consider strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum and in co-curricular activities, and develop changes in our programs to address identified deficiencies. This provides for the broadest programmatic assessment, while also allowing us to pull together what we have learned from the other two forms of review.
3. Alumni Contact.
The Political Science faculty stays in regular contact with alumni in a variety of areas. We do this in a variety of ways – informal discussions, having alumni back to campus to speak about their experiences, mailing the annual Department newsletter, sponsoring a regular Fall semester alumni panel regarding careers in Political Science, etc. One goal of these contacts and programs is to solicit alumni input into the strengths and weaknesses of the Political Science curriculum as they have had the chance to reflect upon in it in their careers.
Together, we believe that these assessment strategies provide us with excellent feedback regarding the strengths and weaknesses of our curriculum, and provide a solid basis on which to base our work in continually updating the curriculum to better meet our program outcomes.
Political Science Assessment in Action: Closing the Circle for the Political Science Capstone.
The Political Science program assessment strategy has been in place for a number of years, and has generated a number of (we believe) useful adjustments to curriculum and teaching strategies. Many of these are minor and ongoing, but the most important example has been the recent changes in our Capstone Research Experience. This provides the best possible illustration of what we have been doing, and will continue to do, in Political Science.
Background: Beginning in the 2001-02 academic year, the Capstone Research program for Political Science majors required all students to pass the SSC 251 (Research Design and Analysis) and SSC 252 (Data Analysis) courses, which are jointly offered by Political Science and Sociology faculty, and taken by majors in both fields. The goal was to complete these courses in the junior year. Then, Political Science majors were required to take PS 601 – Senior Capstone, which was organized as a classic seminar, in which students would review and discuss advanced readings in the discipline and complete a substantial research paper related to the course theme (which varied by year). The goal was to have students use the tools, skills, and knowledge accumulated in their other coursework to produce a polished piece of research in the Capstone paper.
Assessment. Increasingly, however, the Political Science faculty became dissatisfied with the level of work demonstrated in the Capstone paper. In particular, we came to the conclusion that most student Capstone work failed to live up to the standards we had set for Outcomes 2 and 3 (and to some degree Outcome 1) for the major. Students were not effectively setting out and evaluating theoretical debates in the discipline, nor were they using discipline-based methodological approaches in sophisticated ways. The failure to satisfy these outcomes, we concluded, represented significant problems in the structure of the Capstone experience. Students entering the Capstone had not had the opportunity to apply what they had learned in the SSC 251 and 252 classes to specifically discipline-related problems, and had little effective training in developing and executing substantial discipline-related research projects. In order to improve the quality of student work in the Capstone and thus satisfy crucial discipline outcome goals, we concluded, we would have to make a change in the structure of the Capstone Research Experience.
We began this process of assessment and change in our Summer, 2009 Department Retreat, continued work formally and informally over the 2009-10 academic year, and settled on a new structure for the Capstone Research Experience during the Summer, 2010 Department Retreat. The new structure was formally adopted during the 2010-11 academic year, and will be binding on all majors matriculating at the College beginning in the Fall of 2011. The new Capstone structure, which was outlined earlier, is based on the following key approaches:
1. In order to ensure that Political Science majors learn about research design and strategies in a discipline-focused way, and ensure that they begin to apply this knowledge to actual research goals, we replaced the SSC 251 requirement with a requirement that all juniors take a revised PS 301 – Junior Seminar in the Spring of the junior year. This course will be taught be Political Science faculty and focus explicitly on the discipline.
2. In order to ensure that Political Science majors enter the Senior Capstone ready to complete a substantial research project, all students will be required to develop an approved Senior Capstone project as a condition for passing PS 301 and taking PS 601.
3. In order to ensure consistency throughout the Capstone research process, in each given year the same faculty member will teach PS 301 and PS 601.
4. Finally, the substance of PS 601 will be altered slightly, providing more focus on the completion of the Capstone research project and emphasizing models of research – especially refereed journal articles – that students can model their final project after.
Assessing the Change: We are very hopeful that these changes will lead to more satisfactory results regarding the ability of students to demonstrate mastery of the Political Science program outcomes. We will gradually introduce modifications to PS 601 over the coming years. Once the complete program goes into effect, we will continue to meet regularly to evaluate its effectiveness in light of our program goals.
In sum, the Political Science faculty believe that the example of our assessment and reform of our Capstone Research Experience indicates that our general strategy of assessment is vital and effective, and provides us with a good basis from which to continue our efforts at program development and implementation.
Future Directions.
During the 2011 Political Science Summer Retreat, we will consider adding two additional assessment strategies to our program:
- The use of a national standardized exam to evaluate the knowledge of our seniors, to be administered in the Senior Capstone course.
- Development of a regular survey of alumni to get a more formal understanding of alumni perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of our program.
We believe that both strategies may help us develop an even better understanding of how well we are meeting our Outcome goals, and provide useful suggestions for further improvements in the major.

Rookies of the Year
By Craig Muder
Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice are rookies all over again.
Henderson and Rice, members of the Class of 2009 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, met the media on Saturday afternoon for the last time before Sunday's Induction Ceremony in Cooperstown. Neither seemed nervous about their induction speeches, and both have enjoyed every minute of their time in the limelight.
Even — it seems — when their soon-to-be fellow Hall of Famers are reminding them of their non-veteran status in Cooperstown.
"They told us we were going to have to sing Sunday night at dinner," Henderson said. "I can't sing. Are you singing, Jim?"
Rice, accustomed to vocal exhibitions in his announcing job with NESN, wanted no part of a sing-along.
"We're not doing that," said Rice while exchanging a solidarity handshake with his fellow Class of 2009 electee. "If that's the tradition, then we're starting a new one."
However, the returning Hall of Famers — including Bob Feller, who has been an enshrined Hall of Famer for more than half of his 90 years — can be very persuasive.
"The big thing everyone told us about Sunday is not to go long," Rice said of his Hall of Fame speech. "I think we'll both be keeping it short."
However, everyone wanted to hear what Rice and Henderson had to say on Saturday — as national media ranging from the New York Times to ESPN came to Cooperstown. Sunday's 1:30 p.m. Induction Ceremony — carried live by MLB Network, simulcast at www.baseballhall.org and open to the public for free at the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown — also promises to be a must-see.
"Being in front of all those Hall of Famers on that stage — with your family and friends in the audience — that's even more pressure than coming to the plate with a runner on second with two outs," Rice said. "But everything here has been great all weekend. There's no reason to expect it will change tomorrow."
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

In 1977, when Sandy Loevner and her late husband, Jerry, moved from Atlanta to Sarasota, she saw her partial retirement not as an opportunity to relax, but as a way to devote more time to volunteering.
She and her husband quickly became involved in local and national charity work, including the Glasser Schoenbaum Human Services Center, the Out-of-Door Academy, the Ringling College Library Association and the American Heart Association and American Cancer Society.
For the past 15 years, Loevner has volunteered as the board president of the Florida Winefest and Auction — one of the largest non-profit charity events in the country. Michael Klauber started the event 23 years ago, modeling it after a similar festival in Napa Valley. It was designed to showcase different wines while benefiting children's charities in Sarasota.
In its inaugural year, festival organizers hired an outside company to run the event — an expensive decision that left little money for the charities. The following year, Loevner stepped in and helped establish the event as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and formed a volunteer board, whose members would organize future events to keep expenses low and money local.
"We didn't need a company to run it for us," says Loevner, who began volunteering at Winefest in its second year. "We could figure all of that out by ourselves. My passion is for children, and this is a great way to benefit disadvantaged children in Sarasota, so it's important to keep the money here."
Originally held at the Ringling Museum and featuring only four events, the festival relocated to the Longboat Key Club and then the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota as it continued to grow. At its largest, Florida Winefest featured more than 25 events, but, in 2008, Loevner and her fellow board members were forced to make tough decisions to keep the event profitable for the charities.
"In that economy, we saw people weren't spending as much," says Loevner. "So, rather than continue to host as many events, we decided to scale things down, so we could give more to the children. We rode that storm for a few years."
Today, Loevner says the economy has allowed the festival to expand again. This year, the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, as well as local restaurants, will host dinners and wine-tasting events, and the festival grounds will be located at Premier Sports Campus, in Lakewood Ranch.
The 2013 Winefest takes place from Monday, April 4 to Thursday, April 7. In addition to the 17 traditional wine events, the festival will now boast 22 hot-air balloons. Attendees will have an opportunity to go for a flight or just admire the balloons from the fairgrounds.
"We didn't want it to become tired," says Loevner of the fundraiser. "It's 23 years old now. She's not a debutante anymore — she's a young woman. So, we started brainstorming ways to bring back its festive spirit. People can go to a wine event any time."
Loevner says she's dedicated to the event because, despite its wealthy outward appearance, Sarasota has a lot of poverty, which is often hiding in plain sight.
"It might not seem like it, but there are a lot of needy children in Sarasota," she says. "They're in need of basic things, like clean diapers and baby beds. If not for this money, these are children who would go to bed with no hot meal until the next day at school."
Since its inception, Florida Winefest has raised $7.7 million to benefit 76 local charities. With an all-volunteer staff, other than one paid office manager, Loevner says her work is never finished. She anticipates about 10,000 attendees and 300 volunteers this year. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, she and the other board members work year round. In her mind, the 2013 Winefest is already put to bed, and she's beginning to plan for 2014. Despite the demanding schedule, Loevner says the cause is worthwhile.
"Some days, you just shake your head," she says of the workload. "But, it somehow all comes together, and at the end of the day, you've accomplished something. That money wouldn't have been there for those children."
Loevner remains modest when discussing her role in organizing the massive charity event. She credits the dedication of her 18 fellow board members, who have all served together for the last 15 years.
"We've formed friendships, and everyone has a commitment to the team," she says. "They're all doing this out of the goodness of their hearts."
With ticket prices ranging from $10 to $225, Loevner takes pride in the fact that Florida Winefest makes philanthropy accessible to a wide range of budgets.
"There's something for everyone," she says. "You can give back at any level. We want it to be sophisticated, but it doesn't have to be a fancy gala."
Each year, the Winefest Grants Committee reviews the grant applications. Loevner says reading their letters further drives her desire to raise money for the charities. Three weeks after the last event, the board members distribute the money to the charities at a small ceremony.
"The day we give the money away, there's not a dry eye in the house," says Loevner. "When you can tell a sponsor that because of your money this child is going to school with a hot meal and a backpack, it's unreal. You can't make that up."

The Story
The boutique allure of this high-style bed lends one-of-a-kind character to the bedroom. At once rustic and contemporary, each piece blends reclaimed peroba wood with clean black walnut on iron legs. Uniquely weathered peroba planks expose natural variations in tone and texture, rendering a striking headboard built on sleek horizontal lines. Surprise elements like the footboard that also functions as a bench and bookcase, and precise dovetail joinery, lend even more attitude. Platform bed designed for use with mattress; no foundation required. Mattresses and optional bunky board available, sold separately.

Guild D-40 Noir Acoustic - See more photos HERE
At the end of 2012 I was at the Jackson/Fender factory and was asking Mike Kotzen his opinion on a good acoustic with a jumbo body. He said, "Before you try another jumbo check this acoustic out." It was the black Guild acoustic that I play on the two acoustic songs we do live and I haven't put it down since.
As we are a loud rock band that plays arenas and outdoor, sunbaked amphitheaters I am always looking for a reliable workhorse acoustic that won't warp, crack or feedback. This was that guitar. It sounds beautiful acoustic, not plugged in and still performs even when you put the rubber cover (or guitar condom) in the sound hole to cut out horrendous low end feedback you get from putting an acoustic through a p.a system. I have a real problem with acoustic guitars that you have to plug into an amp or P.A system as it's always a compromise and never sounds as good as putting a mic in front of the sound hole. But because of the volume you have to go through this process.This being a dreadnought which is the standard or regular size for an acoustic guitar with thinner frets it wouldn't have been my first choice as an acoustic guitar but some guitars are just great the way they are and this is one of those guitars. Plus it looks cool being a nice shiny black. My only modification is the pegs that hold the strings into the bridge. They are FU-TONE titanium pegs. When Adam Revier did a five minute test changing out the standard plastic pegs for his titanium ones in a basement stairwell underneath the PNC in Holmdel, NJ on my older Guild jumbo acoustic in 2011, I was sold.
Here's a video of me playing it straight out of the box!

Guitar Tech Blog - See more photos HERE
Quite a few people have asked what my gear setup is for touring. The person most qualified to answer this is my guitar tech Scott Appleton. This part of the blog is all about him so fire away til you're blue in the face. People ask 'how often do the strings get changed', 'what's my gauge or thickness of strings' etc. It all is based on how Scotty sets everything up. So 'Ask Scotty' and we'll work on getting some answers for you.

On This Day in Def Leppard History - 16th August (1986) - Leppard performed at The Monsters of Rock Festival at Donnington Park marking Rick Allen's big comeback!
Leppard were third on the bill to Ozzy & The Scorpions (also on the bill that day, Motörhead, Bad News and Warlock) and was Rick Allen's first proper gig back after his accident. The band had previously played 5 warm up Shows in Ireland, 3 with a 2nd drummer, Jeff Rich). Almost a full year before Hysteria was released !!!

Jackson PC Supreme - See more photos HERE
From Phil's blog....I've used 3 different Jackson PC Supremes on this tour so I thought I'd blog about them in one shot as I've been interchanging them throughout the tour. They all have FU-TONE titanium bridge and saddles and what looks like two Dimarzio humbucker pickups but these have a different setup on the neck pickup position.
These guitars have no middle pickups but they do have a DiMarzio Super 3 in the bridge position and an HS 2 crammed up next to the Jackson driver/sustainer pickup giving the appearance and sound of a full blown humbucker with the driver and dimarzio working in conjunction when the sustainer is switched off. Are you still following me on this? So you can have the usual sustain and feedback on the bridge pickup or a lovely creamy humbucker tone when switched to the neck position.
The difference between these guitars are mainly that the black one ('Dorian' which is actually a glitter grey/red color) has an ebony fingerboard and a 24 and three quarter inch scale neck-this one being an experimental prototype. It's neck is very chunky but tiny compared to the other two guitars. They all have the D'Addario 13-54 Guage strings on but because of the neck circumference it feels like you're playing light gauge strings. This guitar is the most even sounding one of the 3 and you can hear it on 'It's All About Believing'; lead, rhythm, and solo on the Mirror Ball album; and on the upcoming Delta Deep album on the song "Miss Me". It's the call and response vocal guitar outro with Debbi Blackwell-Cook.
For the first week of the tour I used the red supreme (Redneck). it has the fattest neck of any guitar I've ever played it's over an inch radius at the twelfth fret. It has a mahogany body with a red maple top and an oil finish. The fingerboard is maple with a face on the first fret that is based on the pendant I sometimes wear around my neck, a Mayan mask that was given to me in Mexico.
The third Supreme I play on tour is almost identical to the red one but has a koa body and maple top with a natural satin finish. This one is called 'Maya'. The reason for the face mask on the first fret is a tribute to Pablo Santana, formerly a master builder at Jackson Guitars and the man who built the guitars. I originally gave Pablo 5 photos of 5 different classic guitars and said I want a guitar that looks like these but doesn't look like any of them-a very bizarre request. But 2 weeks later Pablo said, "I've got something to show you." and it was the first Supreme prototype (pictured below as well), my blue one that lives in London. You can see and hear Maya on the 'Viva Hysteria' dvd on the tracks 'Don't Shoot Shotgun' and 'Run Riot'.
I play the Jackson PC Supreme on 'Hysteria' and 'Rocket' on this tour.

5 A great game, but not for everyoneiqqillon | 16/02/2010 | See all iqqillon's reviews (2)Let me start with, it's a great game. One of the best I have on my PS3 and one of the greatest of 2010 at the moment.The action is great and it has a unique style and difficulty. But both of those aren't for everyone.The style is heavy on the demon and angel motive with a lot of over the top sexist poses and impossible action scenes thrown in. Though fun, some people might detest this.One time you're fighting burning angels, the next you are ridding a bike on a missle flying into space! It's insane!The combo system is near perfect. Since the game slowly forces you to master it. After finishing on Normal you'll have a general idea, after Hard you'll be really good, but after Inf.Climax you'll be great at it. Do note that the difficulty is indeed insane at some points, and I mean "Demon's Souls eat your heart out" insane.Most people also complain about issues that came from the porting. Since the latest patch these things are almost not an issue anymore.There is some slowdown when there are 10-20+ enemies on the screen, but the loadingtimes and screen-tearing are fixed mostly!Try the demo on PSN to see if you like the style and the combatsystem. But I tend to just yell BUY IT. It's a great game!
5 didnt exspect that !!!Calibur | 20/02/2010 | See all Calibur's reviews (1)I would have thought this game would have been avarage, but i cant but this game down it amzing is sooo diffrent from what i have played in the past, it nothing like god of war and it not trying to match up to it, bayonetta fills a cap in the market, i love everything about the game u can play again again and again!!
3 Fair but flawedsamad5 | 03/03/2010 | See all samad5's reviews (21)This must be some game on the 360 to have gotten the rave reviews it has because ultimately on the PS3 I'm afraid to say that it's a different affair.First the good bits. The game has good varied boss battles, tons and tons of moves to master, plenty of power ups to purchase and is pretty lengthy to boot.However, the bad bits are glaringly obvious. Being a port of the 360 game no doubt the graphics are washed out & grainey, animation is choppy and as a result it becomes difficult to see exaclty what is going on when things get really hairy and hectic on screen. Load times are also silly due to the abscence of a hardrive installation option as is the norm with most games on the PS3. The results are that load times in between levels are lengthy, in-game loads are far too frequent and very annoying for a game that is focused on fluid combat.This might sound like nitpicking but as Bayonetta was being billed as the new action figure to knock em dead it falls some way short. Compared next to the competent DMC4, excellent NG Sigma 2 (which is the way a 360 game should be made on the ps3) and upcoming GOW 3 the technical flaws really stand out. A muddled story line doesn't help either something at least the other titles were strong on.Being offline sadly I can't comment on the possible patches that might fix some/all of the problems mentioned but somehow I doubt they could as the game on the PS3 was a case of poor programming to begin with. Overall it's worth a look at a bargain price but just don't go expecting a GOW killer flaw or no flaws.
1 Impaled by its' own idiocy.AdamPS3 | 02/06/2011 | See all AdamPS3's reviews (12)"Less is more". Common phrase. I wish the creators of Bayonetta had listened to this. The game is atrocious. My true feelings cannot be uttered in this review as they could be seen as "offensive". The graphics are the only above-poor element of the entire game. Gameplay is erratic and overly-difficult and music is charming at first but becomes repetitive literally within a few minutes. But the worst bits? The voice-acting and script. You know when foreign films are dubbed incorrectly and the plot becomes incoherent? This is worse. Characters are so idiotic that I wanted to slap them for most of the game. It seems like the creators were ignoring the genius of Devil May Cry and God of War and were intentionally trying to sink to the subterranean depths of Ninja Gaiden. Heck, Ninja Gaiden is actually BETTER! Shocking. Another terrible fact is that the game is useless at everything. As a hack/slash action adventure? Bad. But the single motorcycle level? Possibly the worst level in the history of gaming.To conclude, this game is not only horrific, disastrous, abominable and beastly, it is also utter garbage. Avoid like the plague unless you like unoriginal and boring adventures with a low-IQ Sarah Palin lookalike.
2 flawedmuzza1 | 22/03/2010 | See all muzza1's reviews (8)I really wanted to love this game but its a bitter disappointment, the constant bombardment of cut scenes and load screens kill the flow of game-play and the music could only be worse if it was free-form jazz.Game-play: 6/10Graphics: 7/10Music: 0/10
