Meningitis is a bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges).
The most common causes of meningitis are viral infections that usually get better without treatment. However, bacterial meningitis infections are extremely serious, and may result in death or brain damage, even if treated.
Meningitis may also be caused by:
Most viral meningitis is due to enteroviruses, which are viruses that also can cause intestinal illness.
Many other types of viruses can cause meningitis.
Viral meningitis occurs more often than bacterial meningitis, and is milder. It usually occurs in the late summer and early fall. It most often affects children and adults under age 30.
Bacteria meningitis is an emergency. You will need immediate treatment in a hospital. Symptoms usually come on quickly, and may include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
Meningitis is an important cause of fever in children and newborns.
You cannot tell if you have bacterial or viral meningitis by how they feel. Your health care provider must do this. Seek prompt attention if you have symptoms of meningitis.
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This may show:
If the health care provider thinks you have meningitis, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap ) should be done to remove a sample of spinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF) for testing.
Other tests that may be done include:
Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial meningitis. The specific type depends on which bacteria is causing the infection. Antibiotics do not treat viral meningitis.
Antiviral medicine may be given to those with herpes meningitis.
Other treatments will include:
Early diagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis is essential to prevent permanent neurological damage. Viral meningitis is usually not serious, and symptoms should disappear within 2 weeks with no lasting complications.
If you think that you or your child has symptoms of meningitis, get emergency medical help immediately. Early treatment is key to a good outcome.
Certain vaccines can help prevent some types of meningitis.
Household members and others in close contact with people who have meningococcal meningitis should receive antibiotics to prevent becoming infected.
The meningococcal vaccination is recommended for:
Some communities hold vaccination campaigns after an outbreak of meningococcal meningitis.

8-to-10-feet9 Foot Upside Down Artificial Christmas Tree Item #A805680 This unique tree was originally designed for specialty stores to display delicate ornaments while using a minimum amount of floor space. They drew inspiration from a Central European tradition from the 12th century where people hung trees from the ceiling during Christmas. An upside-down tree has many benefits today. Aside from just being an instant focal point and conversation piece this tree ensures a smaller footprint allowing more room for gifts underneath. The tapered shape allows it to be placed in spots that usually wouldn't accommodate a traditional holiday tree such as between two arm chairs. Also the inverted cone shape showcases your ornaments allowing them to be proudly displayed hanging as they were meant to be. Product Features: 2432 branch tips Unlit Hinged branch construction Recommended for indoor use Comes with a white metal tree stand Dimensions: 9 feet high (from the base of stand to the top of the tree) 102 inch base diameter (widest point) Full profile tree Material(s): PVC/metal

Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that causes hearing loss .
Otospongiosis; Stapedectomy
The cause of otosclerosis is unknown. However, there is some evidence that it may be passed down through families.
People who have otosclerosis have an abnormal sponge-like bone growing in the middle ear. This growth prevents the ear bones from vibrating in response to sound waves. Such vibrations are needed in order for you to hear.
Otosclerosis is the most common cause of middle ear hearing loss in young adults. It typically begins in early to mid-adulthood. It is more common in women than in men. The condition may affect one or both ears.
Risks for this condition include pregnancy and a family history of hearing loss. Caucasians are more likely to develop this condition than people of other races.
A hearing test (audiometry /audiology ) may help determine the severity of hearing loss.
A special imaging test of the head called a temporal-bone CT may be used to look for other causes of hearing loss.
Otosclerosis may slowly get worse. The condition may not need to be treated until you have significant hearing problems.
Medications such as fluoride, calcium, or vitamin D may help to slow the hearing loss, but the benefits have not yet been proved.
A hearing aid may be used to treat the hearing loss. This will not cure or prevent hearing loss from getting worse, but it may help relieve some of the symptoms.
Surgery to remove part of the ear (stapes) and replace it with a prosthesis can cure conductive hearing loss. A total replacement is called a stapedectomy. Sometimes only part of the stapes is removed and a small hole is made in the bottom of it. This is called a stapedotomy. Sometimes a laser is used to help with the surgery.
Otosclerosis gets worse without treatment. Surgery may restore at least some of your hearing. Pain and dizziness from the surgery usually go away within a few weeks.
To reduce the risk of complications after surgery:
If surgery does not work, you may have total hearing loss. Treatment then involves developing skills to cope with deafness , and using hearing aids to transmit sounds from the non-hearing ear to the good ear.

Okay, I quickly reviewed some of your points and I see your concern. I have to admit that I totally disagree. Whether it is labelled a "terrorist attack," a "mob initiated attack," or "kids out to kill Americans," it happened. The ambassador was there which obviously means that he felt nothing was going to happen. There was no "cover up" because the news was out every hour on the latest "scoop". Ever hear of Watergate? The cover up there lasted until after the election before leaks started to occur, not two hours after the event.
This is made up, pure and simple. There are plenty of things Obama does wrong, but this ain't one of them. Go after him on drone strikes, Gitmo, forcing the poor to spend money on healthcare rather than food, attacking countries and killing innocent civilians, letting wall street get away with the wealth of the nation, etc. But one single strike in Libya, a country we helped destabalize? In a town that the ambassador thought had little chance of attack? No.

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.
Carcinoma; Malignant tumor
Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them, and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die.
There are many different kinds of cancer. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue.
There are many causes of cancer, including:
However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown.
The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer.
The three most common cancers in men in the United States are:
In women in the United States, the three most common cancers are:
Some cancers are more common in certain parts of the world. For example, in Japan, there are many cases of stomach cancer , but in the United States, this type of cancer is unusual. Differences in diet or environmental factors may play a role.
Some other types of cancers include:
Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the cancer. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing , shortness of breath , or chest pain . Colon cancer often causes diarrhea , constipation , and blood in the stool .
Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In certain cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage.
The following symptoms can occur with most cancers:
Like symptoms, the signs of cancer vary based on the type and location of the tumor. Common tests include the following:
Most cancers are diagnosed by biopsy. Depending on the location of the tumor, the biopsy may be a simple procedure or a serious operation. Most patients with cancer have CT scans to determine the exact location and size of the tumor or tumors.
A cancer diagnosis is difficult to cope with. It is important, however, that you discuss the type, size, and location of the cancer with your doctor when you are diagnosed. You also will want to ask about treatment options, along with their benefits and risks.
It's a good idea to have someone with you at the doctor's office to help you get through the diagnosis. If you have trouble asking questions after hearing about your diagnosis, the person you bring with you can ask them for you.
Treatment varies based on the type of cancer and its stage. The stage of a cancer refers to how much it has grown and whether the tumor has spread from its original location.
Although treatment for cancer can be difficult, there are many ways to keep up your strength.
If you have radiation treatment, know that:
If you are going through chemotherapy, you should eat right. Chemotherapy causes your immune system to weaken, so you should avoid people with colds or the flu. You should also get plenty of rest, and don't feel as though you have to accomplish tasks all at once.
It will help you to talk with family, friends, or a support group about your feelings. Work with your health care providers throughout your treatment. Helping yourself can make you feel more in control.
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer often causes a lot of anxiety and can affect a person's entire life. There are many resources for cancer patients.
See: Cancer resources
The outlook depends on the type of cancer and the stage of the cancer when diagnosed.
Some cancers can be cured. Other cancers that are not curable can still be treated effectively. Some patients can live for many years with cancer. Other tumors are quickly life threatening.
Complications depend on the type and stage of cancer. The cancer may spread.
Contact your health care provider if you develop symptoms of cancer.
You can reduce the risk of getting a cancerous (malignant) tumor by:
Cancer screenings, such as mammography and breast examination for breast cancer and colonoscopy for colon cancer, may help catch these cancers at their early stages when they are most treatable. Some people at high risk for developing certain cancers can take medication to reduce their risk.

Computer Virus FAQs
Last Updated: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 > Related Articles
Learn the definition of a computer virus and how to protect yourself.
Online forums are full of discussions on computer viruses, but what exactly is a virus? The following information will help you better understand what a virus is and how to protect your computer and mobile devices.
What is a virus?
Briefly, three different items are commonly called a virus.
- A true virus is a program that tries to cripple your computer by infecting key files and spreading itself onto other files. It might change critical files or perform unwanted functions, like erasing your hard drive.
- A Trojan Horse will leave your computer accessible for other people to use. Once a Trojan Horse is installed they may bounce through your machine as a way to cover its tracks and do other damage. A Trojan Horse commonly gives access to all the information stored on your hard drive, so the invader can read what you have, or use your computer as a storage server.
- A worm will travel from system to system and gather information and send it to others.
How do I keep from getting a virus?
Aside from infecting your computer, viruses like to spread to other computers. Some have been known to read an address book, and then email itself to everyone in that book. It can also attach itself to every outgoing mail.
To protect yourself, follow these steps:
- Do not open an email attachment if you do not know the sender, or the message text, or if attachment name seems odd.
- Scan all attachments and files you receive, and frequently update anti-virus program.
- Do not download from sites you do not know, or sites that seem questionable.
If I get a virus, what do I do?
Do as little as possible on that machine, because every click could spread the infected program. A web search will usually turn up several resolutions for your particular virus. We recommend you install Cox Security Suite Powered by McAfee® to prevent infiltrations.

We're happy to present an exceprt from the HCDA Meeting Minutes for Sept 3rd, 2008, where we made our initial KRP Presentation. This is from a DRAFT of the meeting minutes, if changed, the article will be updated.
You can read the entire script by clicking on the following link: HCDA Meeting Minutes
D. SORT, LLC Presentation on Kalaeloa Race Track
Mr. Messer and Mr. Kitchens presented a summary of the SORT presentation enclosed in the packet distributed to the Authority Members.
Before taking questions on the SORT presentation, Chairperson Lai established a committee to work with HCDA staff on resolving the issues with the proposed Kewalo Basin Rules. The committee would be comprised of Members Formby, Dwight, Kimura, Chang and Saito.
Chairperson Lai asked whether Members had questions for Mr. Messer and Mr. Kitchens.
Member Kane stated Mr. Messer and Mr. Kitchens had worked with the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands ("DHHL") for the past six months to meet the requirements imposed on them and had met with organizations recommended to them. SORT made a presentation to the Hawaiian Homes Commission which had been unanimously supported and made themselves available to the Kapolei homesteaders during community meetings. It had been a long haul for everyone to find an interim use until a permanent site can be found. Member Kane acknowledged the work that had been done by SORT to mitigate and change some of their plans based on comments received during discussions with DHHL and community stakeholders.
Member Mukaigawa asked whether there would be a racing school on weekdays, and the racetrack would be open on weekends and occasional holidays.
Mr. Messer stated that was correct.
Member Mukaigawa asked whether drag racing would be allowed.
Mr. Messer replied the immediate opportunity did not allow for a drag strip. The original plan to include the drag strip might have jeopardized the project, so plans were changed.
Member Saito inquired as to what constraints were involved with the drag strip.
Mr. Messer stated that the physical property did not allow for a quarter mile drag strip with a safety shut down area. There is a layout that shows a one-eighth mile drag strip that might eventually be extended to a quarter mile drag strip. In order to construct the drag strip, they would have to relocate the dirt track.
Mr. Kitchens stated if the facility were designed for drag racing, it could only support drag racing by itself which represented only one half of the users. Since there are no race tracks in Hawaii for road racers, they decided to build the dirt track first, but are designing it to be relocated fairly easily.
Member Saito asked how it was determined that 2015 would be the date by which SORT would be in a permanent solution.
Mr. Messer stated that it had taken two years to get to the current point and he estimated it would take a minimum of three to four years to plan and relocate to a permanent facility.
Mr. Kitchens added that there could be a possibility that a private developer might come in and build a facility. Hawaii Raceway Park (HRP) had recently opened up for bid, however, no one stepped forward to bid. Member Kane of DHHL and Member Saito of the Department of Accounting and General Services have worked hard to assist SORT. He noted he had 300 letters of support and over 1,500 signatures on their petition in support of a racing facility.
Member Okada asked for clarification on the SORT organization.
Mr. George Grace, Jr. from the audience stated he is the attorney and developer for SORT which is a nonprofit organization. SORT does not have the space to support drag racers, but would help raise funds to send them to the neighbor islands where they can participate in racing.
Mr. Kitchens responded that his group is OMAC and is primarily composed of former tenants of the race track and the people who used to run the events. Earlier in the year, SORT and OMAC decided to work together to build the temporary facility.
Member Souza asked if SORT had met with the Kalaeloa Public Safety Group ("KPS").
Mr. Messer replied they had not met with KPS. However, they had received a list of approximately fourteen agencies and responded to the concerns brought up in their meetings.
Member Souza posed questions regarding the number of spectators that a drift session would produce and the nature of the traffic study that SORT completed. She stated there would be substantial impact on the parcel and the adjoining community, Coast Guard, Surfing Beach, people staying in the cabanas and the housing areas as well on the roadway where the sides of the road are not up to standard. Over a thousand spectators had shown up at a recent event at HRP.
Mr. Messer stated the HRP event was not a drift session and they have about 300 spectators at a regular drift session. Major events that were sponsored and advertised did draw a greater number of spectators. For the traffic study, they did observations and counted cars in front of the property.
Member Souza asked whether SORT had spoken to anyone at the U. S. Coast Guard.
Mr. Kitchens replied that several attempts had been made to contact the U. S. Coast Guard, but they had not received a return call.
Member Souza posed questions to Mr. Grace regarding his plans to address the potential for fires, especially during summer months.
Mr. Grace responded that he would do his best to meet every safety requirement on the property and prevent problems in the surrounding areas.
Member Souza posed questions regarding whether Mr. Grace had met with the Department of Land and Natural Resources ("DLNR") and the State Historic Preservation Division ("SHPD") and whether he was aware of the cultural sites, iwi and endangered species on the property.
Mr. Grace responded that Mr. Messer and Mr. Kitchens would meet with DLNR and SHPD, and they were very aware of the cultural sites, iwi and endangered species.
Mr. Grace questioned whether there was a conflict of interest with the questions from Member Souza.
Member Souza asked Deputy Attorney General Sandra Ching for an opinion. Ms. Ching stated that questions from Member Souza were within the parameters.
Member Souza posed questions regarding installation of lighting.
Mr. Grace stated they had not reached that stage in their planning. He commented they had stadium lights that had been donated, but were not sure if they would be able to use the lights.
Member Souza asked whether SORT was planning to fix the deteriorated roads at Roosevelt and Coral Sea since they would be adding a substantial increase in vehicular traffic.
Mr. Grace stated he would help in any way he could although he did not feel the racetrack would impact the area any more than the population of the Barber's Point Naval Air Station when it was open.
Member Souza asked whether SORT had talked to DLNR about the archaeological survey.
Mr. Messer responded he did not think DLNR had jurisdiction over the archaeological site. He had talked with the Kapolei Hawaiian Civic Club and reviewed all the public archaeological reports for the area. He had discussed the reports with an archaeologist, but did not wish to release the name of the archaeologist at this time.
Member Souza noted the purpose of the presentation was to get SORT started on the temporary oval track which would be moved later for a road course. She asked if it was adequate for drifting.
Mr. Messer replied in the affirmative.
Member Souza stated she thought it was a go-cart track.
Chairperson Lai stated the Authority would take public comments. He noted there were various perspectives and opinions on the SORT issue and inappropriate behaviors would not be tolerated. He reminded speakers to limit their comments to two minutes.
Mr. Glenn Oamilda from the audience stated he lived in Ewa Beach which has long been impacted with traffic and development. He is a member of the Ewa Beach Hawaiian Civic Club and is a native Hawaiian who is sensitive to the cultural aspects in the development. Hawaiians used to traverse from Wahiawa to Makua, a contiguous route that included the beach shore. He stated Ewa Beach has not been involved in the grass roots process.
Mr. Kurt Fevella from the audience stated he was an Ewa Beach resident and Vice Chair of Community Concerns for the Ewa Beach Neighborhood Board. Ewa Beach residents were concerned about the traffic. As a former racer he felt the proposed traffic numbers were inconsistent with the numbers of people who formerly came to the racetrack. He was concerned with the safety of the substandard roads going into the racetrack area.
Ms. Celeste Lacuesta from the audience stated her concerns involving the month to month lease for the project; grading permits; usage of potable or non-potable water; whether the temporary facility would become permanent; who on the Authority would approve the facility; the environmental impact statement; iwi on the property and historic sites.
Ms. Polly Grace from the audience introduced herself as "Granny" and stated Mr. Grace was her son. She described the history of racing as starting after the end of World War II when men and women like herself would put parts together to build cars. She stated the urge to race was "in your blood" and mentioned her mentors from Maui and Oahu.
Mr. Franklin Souza from the audience stated George and Jeanette Grace and Member Souza and himself were the original SORT members until they parted ways. DHHL recognized Mr. Grace on April 15 as being the lessee for the property. Mr. Grace has been a sponsor for the racing facility for two years, while Mr. Souza has operated and promoted racing and was the first promoter on the island to bring in racers from the ASCoT spring car show. He questioned the discrepancies between the first and final phases of the SORT plan and showed a plan printed from the SORT website. SORT stated they have to move the dirt track to get to their final phase. He noted the dirt track was going to be built on an archaeological site and a drag strip would be on a cultural site. He felt SORT was deceiving the Hawaiian people. He and Member Souza had spent 2-1/2 years and their own money working on the project, until Mr. Grace discontinued their association.
Member Kane stated the graphic shown by Mr. Souza was presented to DHHL by SORT. Through that process, DHHL directed SORT to meet with the Kapolei Hawaiian Civic Club to address issues that were raised. SORT made the modification to limit the development mauka of the currently graded area. Member Kane wanted to make clear there is no Phase 2 Makai of their current development. DHHL and the Hawaiian Homes Commission ("Commission") have not authorized and at no point will SORT be able to go makai of their current Phase I without approval from DHHL or the Commission. SORT has been receptive in accommodating concerns about the rich cultural sites that are makai of the currently graded area.
Mr. Souza stated the graphic was printed off the internet on August 30 or 31. If the final phase was not going to happen, then SORT was not informing Member Kane or the general public.
Member Souza stated that Mr. Souza presented the final phase. The form dated August 30 has the complete Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and final phase promoting what the racing community will get.
Mr. Kitchens noted there is a disclaimer on the website stating that it is not the end result and things can change. The only phase they are concentrating on is the first phase.
Mr. Edwin Hollman, Jr. from the audience stated he represented the Hawaii Regions Force Car Club of America, a national organization with about 60,000 members in 112 regions. The Hawaii region was established in 1953. For over 50 years, they have been presenting events in Hawaii. The Islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai all have racing facilities, but Oahu has nothing since HRP closed. The SORT proposal is not ideal, but it is the only thing going right now and should be supported until a permanent facility can be established. There are thousands of people who were involved at HRP who now have nothing to do.
Members Bradley and Kane exited the meeting at 12:29 p.m. Member Chinn replaced Member Kane.
Mr. Les Vallarano from the audience stated he was speaking as a member of the racing community. While he supported efforts to build a racetrack, he had concerns about traffic in this particular project. HRP was located in an industrial area and didn't bother anyone. The SORT facility would be in an area with traffic going through a residential area. The Aliamanu Neighborhood Board and Crosspointe Community Association residents did not want racing in their backyard. It was important to do an environmental assessment and get public input before the racetrack in Kalaeloa is built. He believed promotion of the racetrack has been dishonest since the final phase diagram incorporated every venue at HRP. Instead of saying there will not be a drag strip, SORT is telling the drag racers and racers that they will be accommodating them. He stated his concern about point 4 miles. From his experience in road racing, point 4 miles is a go-cart track, not a road racing course.
Mr. Sean Oliberos from the audience stated he is 100% in support of the project. He acknowledged there was concern with traffic, but felt the concern was addressed because the parking would be free. Cars would be able to roll right in and not wait on the road to enter. He stated he personally worked on two race jobs, one that specifically built drift cars and the other to show cars. Everyone who comes into the shop and is involved with racing is in support of the project. They were able to race at Halawa Stadium for a while and were able to make it work.
Member Souza asked why there is no racing now at Halawa Stadium.
Mr. Oliberos responded there were concerns from the neighborhood on noise and traffic issues and the effect on children.
Ms. Jeanette Grace from the audience stated she was with SORT. They were working with Kim & Shiroma, an engineering firm that is working with the State and City Department of Planning and Permitting ("DPP") to put together their stockpiling permit. The final plan was submitted to DPP and the turnaround time is two days. The State has already signed on and they are waiting for final approval from DPP. SORT has complied with all requests from DHHL and the City.
Member Souza noted DHHL had told SORT to get the necessary permits in May 2007. She inquired as to why they were getting a permit after receiving a notice of violation from DPP for illegally transporting 35,000 cubic yards of material on the property.
Ms. Grace stated there were issues about permits when they initially got the property from DHHL because Hawaiian Home Lands is sovereign and not required to go through the permit process like other landowners. Member Kane had initiated a letter to DPP asking whether permits were required or not. The letter stated if no response was received within 20 days, SORT would proceed. Since no response was received, SORT proceeded to bring the dirt material needed to build the racetrack onto the property. The material came from one job site, so the soil is consistent.
Member Souza asked for the date the 20-day letter was initiated by DHHL. She had copies of letters dated March 4 and April 15 which specifically state SORT must obtain stockpiling and grading permits from the City.
Ms. Grace stated she did not see those letters. However, they have notified the contractor they would be submitting the stockpiling permit application.
Member Souza inquired whether SORT would be doing an environmental assessment ("EA").
Ms. Grace responded they had asked DHHL if an EA or environmental impact statement ("EIS") would be required. Since the site is temporary and modifications to the site were within certain levels, DHHL advised an EA was not required. If it was determined something was being done to the property that required an EA or EIS, they would be advised.
Member Souza questioned whether changing topography of the property and impacting the streets would not require an EA. She noted the letter dated April 15 stated DHHL was subject to HRS Chapter 343 and laid out regulatory conditions pertaining to the impact from the environment and neighboring community. If DHHL deemed the use exceeded what was allowable as minor, then it may trigger the need for an EA. Member Souza stated her belief that SORT was impacting the community and the parcel.
Ms. Grace stated she had a discussion with DHHL because she was informed the matter was brought up at the July HCDA meeting. DHHL has told them an EA is not necessary at this time.
Member Souza posed the question to Member Chinn whether SORT would need an EA.
Member Chinn responded that DHHL was not requiring an EA at this time.
Ms. Grace stated SORT was not doing the full phase and was doing the smaller portion which was approved by DHHL. They are staying on the piece of property that does not have cultural sites.
Mr. Oamilda stated the question being presented to the Authority was whether the race track or cultural issues are more sensitive. Centuries of people have been buried on the site and there would be no EIS or inventory of what is under the land. He stated he had an issue with DHHL and felt they should not be facilitators of development in the Kalaeloa region.
Member Timson posed a question to Member Chinn regarding whether DHHL as landowner would be liable for what happens on the property leased to SORT.
Member Chinn declined to comment since she did not have all the documents in place and requested that questions be submitted to DHHL in writing.
Member Timson recommended that SORT have discussions with the neighboring communities since comments from the audience indicated a need for the interaction.
Member Timson posed questions regarding electrical power and lighting on the property.
Mr. Grace responded that generator power would be used. They had water but no electricity.
Member Timson noted that SORT might be looking for another location in 2015. She asked Member Chinn whether the lease would be extended.
Member Chinn stated DHHL would do an annual review of the operation and if SORT was in compliance with the agreement, the position would be extended.
Member Souza posed questions regarding whether SORT was subject to Chapter 343.
Member Chinn responded that DHHL did not see a major change of the terrain based on what SORT had submitted. Since the plans do not really change the topography of that landscape, DHHL made the exception to waive preparation of the EA.
Member Okada asked whether people who were against the project had been able to approach DHHL to address their concerns.
Member Chinn replied in the affirmative.
There were no further questions from Authority Members on the SORT presentation.

Central to the purpose and pursuit of any academic community is academic integrity. All members of the Westminster community, including students, faculty, staff, and administrators, are expected to maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity, in keeping with the philosophy and mission of the College.
Academic dishonesty is a profound violation of this code of behavior. Outlined below are examples of and specific consequences for academic dishonesty at Westminster. The list of examples is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to provide an overview of the community's common concerns. Students who are unsure as to whether specific behavior not listed here will constitute academic dishonesty should consult with their individual course instructors.
Violations of the Westminster College Academic Integrity Policy (AIP) include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Copying answers from another student's paper during a quiz, test, or examination.
- Divulging answers or information to another student during a quiz, test, or examination, or accepting such aid.
- Using unauthorized aids (e.g., notes or books) during a quiz, test, or examination.
- Collaborating improperly with another student on an open-book or take-home quiz, test, or examination
- Exceeding the time limit, when one exists, on an open-book or take-home quiz, test, or examination
- Aiding another student improperly on in- or out-of-class assignments
- Leaving a testing area to obtain answers or aid
- Handing in another's work or ideas as one's own
- Taking a quiz, test, or examination with prior knowledge of its contents, when that knowledge has not been authorized or consented to by the instructor
- Engaging in any activity which may give an unfair academic advantage to oneself or another.
- Engaging, during a class or testing session, in conduct that is so disruptive as to infringe upon the rights of the instructor or fellow students.
- Submitting the same work, including oral presentations, for different courses without the explicit consent of the instructors.
- Stealing or intentionally damaging or destroying notes, research data, laboratory projects, library materials, computer software (including the intentional passing of a computer virus), or any other work of another member of the Westminster community.
- Acting as or using a substitute in any academic evaluation procedures.
- Depriving others of necessary academic resourcesiii
- Sabotaging the work of another member of the Westminster community
- Unethically obtaining answers or other information about a quiz, test, or examination before it is administered, even if not a member of the class in which the quiz, test, or examination is given
- Violating copyright restrictions, i.e., stealing the intellectual property of another.
"Derived from the Latin word for kidnapping, plagiarism is the theft of someone else's 'brainchild' -that person's language, ideas, or research-and the origin of the word conveys the seriousness of such offenses in the view of college teachers and administrators. The reason is that words, ideas, and research are the main forms of currency in academic life." -- Keith Hjortshoj, The Transition to College Writing (Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's, 2001), 172.
- Quoting or paraphrasing, without proper citation and acknowledgment, the published words, ideas, or work of another (including anonymous publications and online publications).
- Submitting, as one's own work, a paper, an oral presentation, or a visual presentation authored wholly or partially by someone else (including commercial services).
- Borrowing and appropriating, without proper citation and acknowledgement, facts that are not matters of general knowledge, including all statistics, and translations, and/or the general idea or logic of another's argument.
Providing False Information
- Furnishing false information to the college for the purpose of obtaining special consideration or privilege (e.g., postponement of an examination or a deadline)
- Misrepresenting source material or information or participating in the falsification or misrepresentation of citations
- Falsifying laboratory data, notes, or results, or research data of any type, and presenting it as one's work.
Process and Consequences
If a course instructor suspects that a student has violated this policy, the instructor will speak with the student, review appropriate materials, and reach a conclusion. If the instructor determines that a violation has occurred, the following process will apply:
- The instructor will inform the student that he or she has violated the AIP and that the director of the graduate program (DGP) and the vice-president for academic affairs (VPAA) will be notified.
- The instructor will impose an academic penalty at his or her discretion (e.g., 0 for the assignment without possibility of revisions, failing grade for the course, or other appropriate academic sanctions).
- The instructor will send the DGP a concise written explanation of the violation and the penalty.
- After reviewing the instructor's explanation of the violation and penalty, as well as the student's record of previous offenses, the DGP and/or VPAA will take the following additional action:
- FOR A FIRST OFFENSE, the DGP and/or VPAA may supplement the instructor's penalty with further action, up to and including suspension and permanent dismissal, after consultation with the instructor and the Academic Standards Committee. The DGP and/or VPAA may also meet with the student.
- FOR A SECOND OFFENSE, the DGP and/or VPAA will impose a one-semester suspension. The DGP and/or VPAA may take further action, up to and including permanent dismissal, after consultation with the instructor and the Academic Standards Committee.
- FOR A THIRD OFFENSE, the DGP and/or VPAA will impose a penalty of permanent dismissal from the College.
- The DGP and/or VPAA will send the student official notification of the penalty for the violation (even if the penalty is solely that imposed by the instructor). The VPAA will send copies of this notification to the instructor and the student's academic adviser.
- A copy of the DGP and/or VPAA's official notification to the student will be kept in the student's academic file. If there is no second offense, this letter will be removed upon the student's graduation. If there is a second offense, the letter will become part of the student's permanent academic record.
- Within 15 calendar days of the DGP and/or VPAA's sending official notification of the penalty for the violation, the student may decide to appeal either the finding of a violation or the penalty for the violation.
Appeals Process
- The student will send the DGP and/or VPAA written notification that he or she intends to appeal either the finding of a violation or the penalty for the violation.
- The VPAA will ask the chair of the Academic Standards Committee to convene an Academic Integrity Review Board (AIRB), made up of the following:
- two members of the Academic Standards Committee, chosen by the committee
- the chair of the department or program in which the violation took place
- one other faculty member nominated by the student
- the VPAA, in cases in which his or her decision is not being appealed.
- One of the two participating members of the Academic Standards Committee will chair the AIRB.
- When appearing before the AIRB, the student may bring an adviser who is a member of the campus community but who is not a member of the student's family. The adviser may consult with the student during questioning by the AIRB, but the adviser may not participate in that questioning herself or himself.
- The AIRB's decision will be reached by majority (3/4 or 3/5) vote, using the standard of "more likely than not."
- Within 48 hours of the student's appearance before the AIRB, the chair will send the student and the instructor official notification of the board's decision.
- If the student wishes to appeal the decision of the AIRB, he or she must do so within seven calendar days of the AIRB's sending official notification of its decision. This appeal must be made in writing to the president of the College, whose decision will be final.
Additional Stipulations
A student may not withdraw from a class in which he or she has been charged with violating the College's Academic Integrity Policy, unless he or she successfully appeals the finding that a violation has occurred. Charges of violating this policy may be brought by an instructor against a student who is not enrolled in the class affected by the violation. Any member of the Westminster community, including students, staff members, faculty members, and administrators, may bring a charge for a violation of the College's Academic Integrity Policy. If someone other than a course instructor wishes to bring a charge, he or she can initiate the process by contacting the course instructor, a department chair, or the VPAA. Copies of all materials pertaining to violations, penalties, and appeals will be kept in the Office of Academic Affairs. The VPAA will send to the Academic Standards Committee a monthly report on the number and nature of violations of the policy.

Salty Road Salty Caramel Apple Taffy - 3.5oz
Country of Origin: United States
Region: Maine
City / Village: Portland
Salty Road taffy is softer and creamier (much fresher!) than most salt water taffy we've had. Made using top quality, natural ingredients, each flavor is true to its name.
Traditional salt water taffy is known for a dizzying array of flavors and colors. While fine when we were kids, as adults we crave the same pleasure of a creamy and sweet taffy, but we want natural ingredients and more grown up flavors. The Bergamot taffy, for example is very grown up, while the vanilla is on the more traditional end of the spectrum. This salty caramel apple bridges the two worlds perfectly with a childhood favorite flavor like caramel apple blended with a grown-up dose of crunchy sea salt.

Half of all Americans who are 65 and older have prediabetes, which puts them at high risk for diabetes, the affliction that is the major cause of heart disease and stroke. With those daunting numbers in mind, Home Instead Senior Care has created a six-part video series, "Diabetes in Older Adults," which presents a broad view of the incurable disease from prevention to management.
Omaha, NE—One of the biggest health threats that U.S. seniors face is diabetes, an incurable disease that is a major cause of heart disease and stroke. More than one-fourth of Americans who are 65 and older have diabetes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported. Diabetes affects the body's ability to produce or respond properly to insulin and is characterized by high blood glucose levels.
The Home Instead Senior Care® network has produced a six-part video series, "Diabetes in Older Adults," that helps seniors understand the disease, discusses steps in prevention, reveals warning signs and symptoms of diabetes, presents methods of diagnosis, describes complications and offers management techniques.
"The series sounds a warning for seniors. We felt an obligation to them and to their caregivers to emphasize the threat from a disease that, by all accounts from experts in the medical community, has soared to an epidemic level in the United States. If current trends continue, experts predict that one of three U.S. adults will have Type 2 diabetes by 2050," said President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jeff Huber of Home Instead, Inc., franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Care network. "A person with diabetes has a shorter life expectancy and about twice the risk of dying on any given day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," he noted.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic lower-limb amputations and new cases of blindness among American adults. Of the 25.8 million children and adults who have diabetes, at least 10.9 million are seniors, reports the American Diabetes Association. Furthermore, 79 million Americans have prediabetes in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Those with prediabetes have a high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Half of all seniors 65 and older are believed to have prediabetes, and as many as seven million people have diabetes but are undiagnosed, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The Home Instead Senior Care network's video series takes viewers through progressive steps, from describing the three most common types of diabetes, to providing an overview of prediabetes, to offering techniques to manage the disease:
Huber pointed out that the Home Instead Senior Care network offers additional information about diabetes and other illnesses and conditions on its website. "Diabetes may be preventable and controllable," Huber said, "and that's something we wanted to stress to seniors and their caregivers."

I am not going to define what REALITY is. This thread is about "what is truth?", it is not about defining the totality of all that exists.
DIss0n80r wrote:Is reality one thing or many things?
DIss0n80r wrote:The concepts are intimately related. What is true is real. What is real is true. Make sense?
The totality must be either one thing or many. True or false?
at1with0 wrote:So all perception is thrown out the window?
The objectivity of science and of scientific inquiry is often perceived as vital to its ability to uncover truth. This objectivity is seen as a way to ensure that the explanation of the nature of an object is independent of any features of the particular subject who studied it. This means that an objective account of the nature of an object does not draw on any assumptions, values or prejudices of a particular subject and thus can be universally accepted.
