If the program is spending a few days in the Azores, it is unforgivable not making a trip to the nearby islands, as they are right there next to São Miguel. After all, they're just eight more and the plane trip is pretty quick. As an example to Terceira, the journey is about 40 minutes with a cost of 85 Euros.
The capital of Terceira, Angra do Heroismo, is known for its traditional festivities, such as rope bullfights. With an historic center classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, let yourself be charmed by the beauty of this city, right by the sea, with Mount Brazil as an amphitheater for the two bays that accommodate boats from all around the world. Well known is also the marina of Horta, in Faial Island, everything you breathe is mystical, from the paintings that hundreds of sailors made on the pavements and walls of the harbor, through to the famous gin tonic from Peter's Café, overlooking the Pico Island, the highest point in Portugal, with 2351 meters. In Faial it is a mandatory to visit the Capelinhos Volcano and the Caldeira Massif.In any of the islands a common feature is the sea tracing the horizons, simplicity, rurality, peace and tranquillity. Is it possible to find something more peaceful than Corvo Island with half a thousand people, lost in 17 square kilometers? Still, having a grilled fish for lunch at the Baleia Ocidental Restaurant, facing the immense sea is a memorable experience.

It looks like a chain of burger places that has been rapidly expanding through the local area is going to be opening its closest location to Boston so far.
A message posted by a follower of the Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook page a few days ago had indicated that Five Guys Burgers may be opening at Station Landing in Medford, and a check on the chain's website has indeed confirmed this. At this point in time, there doesn't seem to be a specific opening date for the new Five Guys in Medford; as soon as we find out more information, we will post an update here.
A number of Five Guys Burgers now reside in the Boston area, including locations in Dedham, Foxborough, Framingham, Gloucester, Marlborough, Natick, Randolph, Swampscott, and Walpole.
The address for this upcoming restaurant at Station Landing in Medford will be: Five Guys Burgers, 65 Station Landing, Medford, MA, 02155. The website for the burger chain can be found at: http://www.fiveguys.com/

Why a degree in M.IS?
Corporations are needing data analytics and knowledge of information systems now more than ever. These positions are in high demand and come with generous pay.
Our program curriculum focuses on a problem-solving approach to information management and uses a rich blend of real-life experiences, case material, and simulations through innovative, relevant, and rigorous curriculum taught by outstanding faculty and industry experts with a blend of technical and managerial skills. Students learn alongside with other business and IT leaders and accomplish capstone projects to address real problems and return value to their company.
Focused on ROI
To lead a business enterprise, you need to control your business operations and directly influence IT solutions. You need to lead every aspect of your business processes. IT is an enabler, not a solution in and of itself. This program is tailored to put you in charge of your company's IT resources - rather than IT controlling you.
The entire program is built on a foundation of problem-solving, student-centric experiences, and corporate involvement. The Master of Information Systems is a 33 semester-credit hour program. Of these, six hours are dedicated to an extensive Capstone project designed for the program participant by his/her sponsoring organization. The remaining 27 credit hours include course work in the following Information Systems domains:
- Technology architecture
- Project assurance & failure avoidance

Application Virtualization utilizing Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)
Students: Garrett Goodin, Lindsey Mason, Tim Mischler
Faculty Advisor: Kevin Duffy
The National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) is the Department of Defense's (DOD) primary source for intelligence on foreign air and space threats. NASIC creates integrated, predictive intelligence in the air, space, and cyberspace domains supporting full spectrum military operations, force modernization and policymaking.
Supporting the NASIC mission is the Communications & Information (SC) directorate. SC is critical to NASIC achieving its various missions and leverages the most sophisticated technology to support NASIC's intelligence analysts. SC is focused on IT Service Management (ITSM) and providing quality services to the end user. To continue to support the mission, SC has made the decision to explore virtual applications to create a more dynamic and flexible application deployment model that focuses on delivering end users applications quicker and more efficiently.
To better understand the benefits of virtual applications the team established a Proof of Concept (PoC) and implemented Microsoft's Application Virtualization (App-V) solution, as well as, reviewed the integration of App-V with the current software deployment solution, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). The objective of establishing an App-V PoC is to provide the team with a better understanding of the benefits and limitations of App-V and develop an implementation strategy for incorporating the application virtualization methodology into the current application deployment solution.
Implementing Enterprise BI for Meridian Bioscience, Inc
Student: Paul Hansford
Faculty Advisor: Shu Schiller
Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIVO) is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company was incorporated in 1976 and today has 525 employees. Meridian Bioscience, Inc. is a life science company, which engages in the development, manufacture, sales, and distribution of diagnostic test kits primarily for gastrointestinal, foodborne, viral, respiratory, and parasitic Bioscience has three operating segments: U.S. Diagnostics, European Diagnostics, and Life Science.
The main crux of this capstone project was to provide Meridian with the ability to take action on data insights based on CRM data. This primary need calls for a Business Intelligence (BI) solution. The underlying value propositions for the Meridian Bioscience BI implementation will include the man hours saved, by federating data from multiple systems and distributing reports near real-time for front office knowledge workers. There is a hard cost savings for print savings replaced by electronic portal in lieu of paper distribution. Additional savings for reducing the activities required for the reports/dashboards creation is "on demand" generation timeline reduction. This reduction will lead to a significant cost reduction in labor and time savings in information delivery. Finally, the data quality improves the decision support framework allowing users to take immediate action in the present.
Meridian Bioscience is a customer relationship management (CRM) software customer for Simplesoft solutions, Inc. Today, Simplesoft Solutions is focused primarily on customer relationship management consulting. The company is headquartered in Springboro, OH. From the perspective of Simplesoft Solutions, Inc. (a CRM consulting firm specializing in mid-Enterprise deployments of Sage CRM Solutions), SalesLogix is designed to help Simplesoft to service customers. Simplesoft is an outsourced near shore CRM implementation services company serving business-to-business customers.
The Information Systems (IS) tool chosen for servicing the Meridian BioScience customers is a middle market CRM tool called Sage SalesLogix. This capstone project delivered a BI solution designed as an embedded deployment within the Sage SalesLogix CRM implementation for Meridian Bioscience. Since BI solution is completely about data, the initial tasks for Meridian's deployment are: analyzing and managing data, implementing dashboards, and building decision support based on the CRM data. The data storage for the applications utilizes MS SQL Server as the database management system. The data added to the CRM tool, through various input methods, and being analyzed by the near real-time BI solution called Sage SalesLogix Advanced Analytics (SSAA), which is TIBCO Spotfire.
iSupport at Kettering Health Network Support Center
Student: Brandon Harris
Faculty Advisor: Shu Schiller
Over the past three years Kettering Health Network has transformed their business workflow from traditional paper records to an electronic world of patient data. Technology has greatly contributed to such transformation and the results seemed effective. Despite the efforts to use technology as an enabler for healthcare success, technology improvements have led to in efficiencies as the adoption of state of the art technology has created a higher IT issue tickets. The increased Footprints issue tickets are created at a productivity level higher than KHN Support Center can process. The increased Footprints issue ticket volume has caused disruptions in service and delayed service overall. In-efficiencies created from technology advancements have raised concern to the management, who decided to review our business processes and make improvements to the operations of the network.
The context of this capstone project is the Kettering Health Network Support Center known as iSupport. iSupport is the first line of defense for our end users. End users have the option to submit ticket issues by phone, email, or through our Footprints Ticketing System web portal. The purpose of this capstone was to improve the Footprints issue ticket volume handled by the Support Center by providing faster response times through providing efficient ways for end users to create Footprints issue tickets. This will be accomplished by improving inefficient technological use of Footprints Issue ticketing system and redesigning end user business processes at the Support Center.
System Analysis and Design at Good Neighbor
Sudent: Alex Mathew
Faculty Advisor: Shu Schiller
The purpose of this capstone was to provide complete documentation for Good Neighbor House (GNH) system analysis, system design, and implementation plan. The main emphasis of system analysis is to understand the specific needs in order to develop two modules for dental and vision to the existing wright state HIEx system. The system analysis was following a traditional structural analysis method that mainly uses flowcharts and data flow diagrams to illustrate the new system. In addition, the capstone project suggests that system development should be done in an incremental approach; therefore, developing dental and vision modules independently and integrate it into the HIEX system. The detailed process analysis examined each process using a process diagram and looked for clues to inefficiency, redundancy, or opportunity for error. The system analysis recommends providing a customized HIEx system to GNH heath center by developing dental and vision module that is integrated to the existing HIEx system. The GNH system analysis study was based on the six goals defined by the Institute of Medicine for healthcare quality improvement: safety, effectiveness, efficiency, timely, patient centered and equitable healthcare. The main risk assume are difficulty in calculating the ROI, long payback period, cost and issues during the implementation, and problems related to data management. The report also contains suggested guidelines for HIEx implementation which are needed to be approved by board of directors before implementation.
ATB Information Tracking System
Student: Therese Watkins
Faculty Advisor: Arijit Sengupta
Lincoln College of Technology currently enrolls students who have not obtained their high school diploma or GED. These students are referred to as Ability to Benefit (ATB) students and are under increased scrutiny and governance from the federal government while enrolled in a college program. Students in this program are, for the most part, required to obtain their GED within a certain time frame after completion of their developmental studies classes. The student's eligibility to receive federal student aid depends on the student successfully completing the requirements of the program within the allotted time frame. Reports must be made on a regular basis to the federal government verifying that students receiving aid for the program are working towards the completion of all requirements. Since a large part of the student population at Lincoln are ATB students, maintaining up-to-date records of the students' progress in essential to the funding of the school. The project recommended that Lincoln College of Technology's Dayton Campus adopt an ATB Student Database.
The ATB Student Database consolidatde all pertinent information in one database, while allowing for a single entry of information and easy access to reports. The database will save in man hours by allowing one entry point for all information, thereby reducing or eliminating redundancies in data input. It also allows the department chair to run necessary reports within the database instead of compiling the information from several different sources and composing it in an Excel spreadsheet. Data from the query can be directly imported into the spreadsheet for forwarding to the Dean. Additionally, since the data is all in one place, it becomes easier to track when a student is close to the deadline and the likelihood that their information will be lost is greatly reduced.

Army Strategic Logistics Activity Charleston (ASLAC) located in Charleston, South Carolina maintains and oversees a Navy fleet of prepositioned Army equipment for rapid deployment to soldiers in the field. Almost three years ago, ASLAC contracted with O'Neil & Associates, Inc. (O'Neil) to create a test system that would connect multiple O'Neil Electronic Maintenance System Next Generation Viewers (EMSNG) together while on an isolated computer network. ASLAC did this because of a Lean Six Sigma business process reengineering that showed significant cost saving of almost id="mce_marker".5 million per year by migrating from the paper maintenance Department of Army (DA) Form 2404 to the electronic DA Form 5988-E which is used by the EMSNG. The EMSNG application is used to display interactive electronic technical manuals (IETMs) which aid in the repair and maintenance of military vehicles at ASLAC's facility and throughout the military. To connect these multiple EMSNG applications together, O'Neil created a web application system called O'Neil Electronic Maintenance System Next Generation Enhanced (EMS-NG-E). The EMS-NG-E system is a management application allowing users to initiate, assign, distribute, and manage 5988-E work orders for both scheduled inspections and repairs of Army assets.
Over the next two years, the EMS-NG-E system and the EMSNG application proved to be an efficient, secure, and digital method for managing end-to-end asset inspection and necessary repair efforts at ASLAC. Now that the EMS-NG-E test system has proven its proposed savings, ASLAC has once again contracted with O'Neil to move the EMS-NG-E system to the Army's main network.
Development and Installation of eZRecruit
Student: Raman Vij
Faculty Advisor: Shu Schiller
This organization needed to:
- Streamline the application process to reduce printing of resumes, and make the process more current, efficient and productive. Implement a hosted solution for tracking of applicants to internal and external postings.
- Upgrade their existing system from a manual, labor-intensive process for employment applications to an on-line applicant tracking system – thereby reducing filing errors, lost applications and storage space.
If recruiters aren't using the system effectively or maximizing its potential, it is of little value so what we want to make sure is that it is utilized to the max and that it is easy to understand and use at the very first place so as to derive efficiency and the profitability out of it. Even if a system claims a "robust reporting" feature, it is no good if the data is not entered into the system correctly by the end-user. The implementation of this project meet the goals.
SafeFreeSoftware.com: Revising a Formerly Successful Business Model
Student: Stephen D. Huff
Faculty Advisor: Arijit Sengupta
In 2011, Google, Inc. apparently made significant changes to their advertising policies. These changes are best demonstrated by a quick search for 'video game' on their web interface. Prior to changes in their policies, the right side of the results page for such a query would be populated by up to ten simple text-based CPC (charge-per-click) advertisements – and these advertisements would proceed many pages deep into the query results. This is where SafeFreeSoftware.com advertised. Now there are none (or very few) of these ads and they are typically not representative of small businesses. One of the key changes to their advertising policies states (paraphrased) 'products must be unique, original and relevant to the related search terms'. This is, of course, very vague, but its impact is huge. For example, WalMart, Inc. can no longer advertise a given video game, because this same video game is available to countless distributors and websites. This change in policies, incidentally, is further reflected in Google's August 2012 announcement that they will no longer host television advertising of any kind. Clearly, great changes are afoot in the CPC world and, since Google currently owns all the major patents for this business model, these changes are having widespread effect on the world of business, especially within the world of small, web-based business. Therefore, the problem is to develop a new method of generating revenue using a modification of the former SafeFreeSoftware.com business model, which is not likely, or via development of an entirely novel business model directed to the smartphone industry. Portions of this project document describe a failed attempt at the former methodology (ChopSesh.com), and the remainder address a future means of doing so as directed at the smartphone (Android and iPhone) platforms. The implementation of this project meet the goals.
EBC Childcare Center Web Development & Mobile Application
Student: Kristin M. Spearman
Faculty Advisor: Vikram Sethi
This capstone projectinvolved a website, on-line information request and a mobile application for the EBC Childcare center. This website and mobile application increased the enrollment of the childcare center by providing more information for the parent to determine if EBC is the perfect center for their children. Everlasting Missionary Baptist Church does not use much technology and does not really have a data system that electronically; the church decided to start small but creating a church website as well as the Childcare center website with an on-line request information page. EBC Childcare Center have been up and running for about 10 years, but would love more enrollment to increase their revenue. The development of this website will make it easy for parents and staff members to access the website for review; but the information that is submitted by the parent will be secured and safe stored within the computerized data platform provided by the operations manager within the church.
Social Media Effectiveness in Small Business Environments
Student: Gena R.Bradshaw
Faculty Advisor: Kevin Duffy
PCE stands for Permanent Cosmetics Effects. This is a limited liability company based in Ohio. The company's main specialty is the provision of exemplary cosmetic services as well as training. Through innovative management, the company has grown rapidly in recent years. In order for PCE to enhance its revenues, it is essential for the management embrace modern marketing systems. Such systems are essential platforms for enhancing the company's reach not only in Columbus but also in other parts across the United States.
The integration of electronic commerce platforms within the operational framework of PCE Studios is a vital approach for enhancing performance. Although there are numerous types of electronic commerce tactics, it is essential for PCE to select a platform that aligns with its current capacity. This is a crucial approach that helps in attaining efficiency within an organization. In addition to electronic commerce, there are numerous social networking options available for PCE in line with its current needs. Social networks are extremely popular in the digital age. Consequently, it is crucial for PCE to identify the most suitable social networking alternatives. For instance, PCE must select an effective application that facilitates for customer analytics across different social networks. The implementation of this project meet the goals.
A Modern HR for Modern seepex
Student: Michael L. Brooks
Faculty Advisor: Anand Jeyaraj
The progressive cavity pump manufacturing, seepex Inc., has started a rapid growth phase. The Human Resources department was especially vulnerable to the growing pangs association with such growth due to its small size of one and reliance on paper-based manual functions. This work discusses the opportunities for improvement available, the philosophy behind the decision making process, the implementation process, the results of implementation, and the retrospective view of applying techniques learned during the course of Wright State University's Master of Information Systems program.
The project is the full cycle of selecting and implementing a software solution in a small to medium sized business. Specifically, the sourcing and implementation of a Human Resource Software package for the Human Resources department of seepex, Inc. This project was distinctly selected by seepex for the purpose of coinciding with this MIS program. The project kick-off date was January 3rd, 2012 with the intent to have the system live and in production by the conclusion of the year. The implementation of this project meet the goals.
DHDI-DPL Helpdesk Initiative
Students: Brian H. Moody and Jackie N. Sisco
Faculty Advisor: Shu Schiller
The main idea for a DP&L Helpdesk Initiative was to reengineer the current helpdesk ticketing process which the end result will be able to enhance reports, provide options to the customers like retrieving knowledge and placing tickets, and also to assist the current helpdesk personnel. To start the reengineering of the ticketing process, the Capstone team performs an analysis of past tickets which will provide a better understanding of the types of request and incidents. The results from the analysis will be used to provide ideas from many brainstorming sessions that could be accomplished within a few months. Many options from the sessions are provided in this document and the approved options for this Capstone project are described in more detail plus what was performed by the Capstone team on the approved options. The Capstone team then reflects on the project and the report concludes on the results from this project. The implementation of this project meet the goals.
Commission and Rebate Admin Process Evaluation
Students: Michael W. Andrews, Robert E. Schlein, and Anthony A. Taylor
Faculty Advisor: Kevin Duffy
Company "X" provides products and services for healthcare providers. Their divisions include medical, dental, and animal health. They are currently parallel processing the commissions, rebates, and administrative fees on a monthly basis with the outsourced healthcare technology organization Vendor "Y". Vendor "Y" tries to enable better patient care and provide savings for the healthcare community by maximizing automation, efficiency, and accuracy of business processes. Though Vendor "Y" seems to be a solid solution, staff members within the medical, dental, and animal health divisions are dissatisfied with how the company handles the commissions, rebates, and administrative fees processes. Company "X" staff feels that much of the data manipulation work performed by Vendor "Y" is suspect, lacks quality, has poor error checking and correcting, or is completely untrustworthy to the point that the entire process is replicated in-house.
After thoroughly examining the processes in each division, the final recommendation of the team is to ultimately terminate all aspects of the Vendor "Y" contract. Company "X" has the ability to bring the processes in-house by utilizing the Oracle ERP system. With a plan of action, Company "X" is in the position to terminate the contract without jeopardizing the internal processes. Company "X" has to focus on closing the data gaps with its distributors to improve the quality and formatting of tracing reports, automate the processes in each division, and ultimately import all of the processes from Excel into Oracle.

28 comments:
- Melissa Corry said...
Love the idea of turning old tv trays into ironing boards!! So great!! I think I might have thrown away my old ones in the last move. Bummer. I guess I will need to go get some more :)
- June 22, 2012 at 2:31 PM
- Ms. Craftsalot said...
I've seen them at Walmart for about 8.00 brand new. So still pretty affordable IMO.
- June 22, 2012 at 2:52 PM

I bet that's a handy thing to have. I have a few TV trays that we never use, so I need to make one (or more).
- June 22, 2012 at 3:18 PM
- Mev_Lohman said...
What a brilliant idea! I need to do this since I also set up my sewing on the kitchen table despite having a wonderful office in my basement. (There's just nothing for a 5, 4 and 2 year old to do down there....)
- June 22, 2012 at 4:00 PM

I just stumbled upon your blog today, and have spent the better part of the day drooling over your work. Those Ombre quilts from a while back are maybe the prettiest things I've ever seen. You're making me sorely tempted to try my hand at quilting again (despite the fact that I can barely thread a needle).

Hi Amy. :o)
Oh boy, I can't wait to see what you are creating!
Your ironing table is so clever and super cute!
I need to keep a close watch for tv trays, so I too
can make one. :o) How convenient to have it right
there by your sewing table. :o)
Your family tree border is just precious. What a dear
heirloom it will be!!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I made one, but I made my cover removable. I like that I can still use the tray table as a tray table if needed and that the cover can be thrown in the wash when it gets a little grubby looking.

I have a huge new sewing/craft room in the basement but I still lug my sewing machine upstairs and do most of my sewing at the kitchen table. I'm sure it irritates my hubby but it's the only way I can sew and keep an eye on my son and our naughty puppy. I spend way too much time running from the kitchen downstairs to my ironing board so I totally need to make a portable one!

I can't imagine setting up to sew at a table, my machine is on a desk and ready to sew at any time (and I still don't get any sewing done). I admire you for taking the time to set up at a table and getting so much done!

Such a brilliant idea! Never underestimate the creativity of women! I went to Target and bought me a tray table for $9.99 (not exactly a bargain, but certainly affordable). I had everything else I needed in my sewing room, and in about 15 minutes (with my husbands extra hands) I had me a great portable small ironing table. I can't wait to use it!

Hypotonia means decreased muscle tone.
Decreased muscle tone; Floppy infant
Hypotonia is often a sign of a worrisome problem. The condition can affect children or adults.
Infants with hypotonia seem floppy and feel like a "rag doll" when held. They rest with their elbows and knees loosely extended. Infants with normal tone tend to have flexed elbows and knees. They may have poor head control. The head may fall to the side, backward, or forward.
Infants with normal tone can be lifted with the adult's hands placed under the armpits. Hypotonic infants tend to slip between the hands as the infant's arms rise without resistance.
Muscle tone and movement involve the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. Hypotonia may be a sign of a problem anywhere along the pathway that controls muscle movement. Causes may include:
Genetic or chromosomal disorders, or defects that may cause brain and nerve damage include:
Other disorders that can lead to the condition include:
Take extra care when lifting and carrying a person with hypotonia to avoid causing an injury.
The physical exam will include a detailed examination of the nervous system and muscle function.
In most cases, a neurologist (specialist in brain and nerves) will help evaluate the problem. Geneticists may help diagnose certain disorders. If there are also other medical problems, a number of different specialists will help care for the child.
Which diagnostic tests are done depends on the suspected cause of the hypotonia. Most of the conditions associated with hypotonia also cause other symptoms that can help in the diagnosis.
Many of these disorders require ongoing care and support.

What is Young-Earth Creationism, and the Biblical basis for it?
Young Earth Creationism is the belief that the Earth is between 6000 and 12000 years old (depending on the tradition.) The Biblical basis for it is taking the periods starting with Genesis 1 and adding them up. The variation in years depends on counting methods, the largest variation being that of considering Genesis 'days' to be 1000 years each. |
Young Earth Creationism, abbreviated YEC, is the idea that the earth is relatively young (several thousand years old) compared to Old Earth Creationism (OEC) which agree with secular science that currently claims the earth is 4.55 Billion years old. While there is a lot of good physical evidence for YEC discussed elsewhere the question at hand is what is the Biblical basis for it. Here is my opinion on the Biblical basis:
The bottom line is to get an Old Earth View, you have to change the standard interpretation of much of the scripture and take many words out individually nit picking at what their meaning could be, instead of looking at the passage as a whole. Also the main proponents of OEC such as Hugh Ross, for an example, have come from first from a secular background and tried to reconcile what they already believed with the bible. Look at his bio; he states clearly that he went looking for a religion that fit what he understood to be true about science. Instead of coming to Christ and trying to find out what is truth, they do the opposite; they say, "This is true, now how can we make christianity agree with it?" 1 Romans 5:12 states that death entered the world because of the sin of Adam. Now some YEC's taken that to an extreme and say that the 2nd law of thermodynamics entered the world at that time, and that's a big stumbling block for OEC's like Hugh Ross. I don't make that claim and don't think the bible makes the claim that entropy = death. In fact in there is allot of chaos in genesis before man shows up. But while some will claim there is no biblical support for the idea that death means anything other than human death, I think it's very clear if you look throughout the bible you see the ideal that man's sin is the cause for animal suffering.
2 It's true the Hebrew word 3 as stated in many arguments against a global flood, if it rained for 40 days enough to cover the current topography of earth it would rain so hard that the friction from the water would burn the atmosphere and also the rain would so much force as to brake the ark itself. But instead of saying the rain caused the flood it says he broke open the fountains of the deep, AND it rained. |
Young Earth Creationism is the view that the universe and all that is in it (including earth) was created by God in a 6 day period, not by unaided natural processes over billions of years. As a result, the earth is thousands of years old, not millions or billions. The biblical basis is a straightforward reading of the creation account in Genesis 1. |
An article on the Biblical basis for young earth creationism. 1. Matter in the universe is bounded. 2. The universe has expanded. 3. The Earth is near the centre of the universe. 4. The universe is young as measured by clocks on Earth. 5. The original matter God created was ordinary liquid water. 6. God transformed the water into various elements by compaction. Another article: (It's not just about the Biblical basis but these are the main headings for the Biblical basis.) 1. The Bible Places Man at the Beginning 2. The Scriptures Affirm a Brief History of Man 3. A Compromise with Evolutionary Chronology Yet another webpage that links to several articles about the Biblical basis for young earth creationism. 1. The Age of Humanity 2. Creation According to the Bible 3. Evidence from the Grand Canyon 4. The findings of human and dinosaur footprints together 5. Evidence from the flood |

So far so good
I have had Nuheat in my master bath for 10 years and have two thermostats for two diffent zones. This is the second thermostat for one zone and the third for the other. I'm hoping that this time it will last. I decided to go with the simpler thermostat thinking it would be less likely to be a problem so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I do love to walk on a warm tile floor!

* Jt,____�-&- *. 1 spapi" llegre * - ,� ews VOL. XV, NO. 24 / ;' 3RYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., TUESDAY, JUNE 3,1929 PRICE, 10 CENTS Dr. Kohler Shows That Apes Are Intelligent (Contributed by I'. 1'ahl. '29.) Within the year the chief protagonists of the two most recent movements in psychology have spoken at Br-yn Mawr: last November, Dr. John B. Watsbn, Behaviorist, champion of the "condi- tioned reflex." and enemy of conscious- ness, and on Saturday. May 25, Pro- fessor Wolfgang Kohler, Configuration- ist, and observer of the behavior of apes, whom he credits with true insight. Dr. Watson's method of investigation is to present his children and aniriials with simple problems, in the solution of which there is no opportunity for insight; Pro- fessor Kohler begins with problems de- manding insight for their solution, and yet not beyond the limitations of the apes' equipment. It is not surprising, therefore, that the BehaViorist's conclu- sion should be that behavior consists of a mechanistic concatenation of simple units, each dependent upon the one pre- ceding it, and functioning according to the laws of chance; and that Professor 'Kohler's experiments should indicate for him that his animals have an ability to grasp the significance of a total situa- tion, thereby exhibiting intelligence. Further, Professor Kohler substitutes a dynamical-physiological basis of experi- ence for Dr. Watson's mechanical- physiological explanations. The replace- ment of a mechanical by a dynamic hypothesis involves consequences which can be best understood from a quotation from* Professor Kohler s book, Gestalt Psychology: "Instead of reacting to local stimuli by i local and independent events, the organ- ism reacts tdPan actual constellation of stimuli by a total process, which, as a . functional whole, is its response to the whole situation. This is the only view- � � point which can explain how to a given local stimulus there may correspond altogether different experiences, as soon as the surrounding stimulation is changed." This conception of response to a total situation, its form rather than its ele- ments, is the central thesis of Gestalt psychology, the psychology of shape. In this respect, Gestalt has adopted the con- cepts of the newer physical science: the Einstein theory * of Relativity and the psychology of Con figuration ism have -assumed cosmic interdependence and psychic interdependence, respectively; both theories claim to conform better to the facts than the assumptions of the older Newtonian physics and mechanistic psychologies; and both have united under one common explanation facts that previous theories regarded as discon- nected anomalies. Finally, as a conse- quence of this very parallelism, Gestalt psychology tends to view the physical and psychological as a single system, and hopes thereby to throw new light on the old problem of mechanism and vitalism, matter and spirit. In his Jecture, Professor Kohler dem- onstrated the application of Gestalt psy- chology in the field of intelligence hy describing a number of experiments with apes. The tasks which he set his animals were tests of intelligence in "delayed reactions," discrimination, imitation, and original problems. The apes were permitted to watch the experimenter as he buried food in the ground outside their cage, and fourteen hours afterwards they were allowed to leave the cage, whence they went imme- diately to the exact spot where the food had been hidden. On another occasion, the animals watched while a stick was placed out of sight above the rafters in their cage, and the next day, when they had need of a tool to get food which was out ot their reach, they remembered the hidden stick, climbed up, took it down, and used it. Both the ability to remember the hiding place, and the reali- zation that the stick would enable them to reach the food, Professor Kohler in- terprets as evidence of intelligence. In problems of discrimination the ape shows himself particularly able. Rats, when presented with two stimuli of dif- ferent brightness, can learn to go to the brighter (or darker), where they are rewarded with food A graph of the learning of rats in such experiments gen- CONTINUED ON THE SECOND PAGE Dr. Park Emphasized Living For Posterity Both Sermon and Procession of Baccalaureate Were Impressive. . NEED FOR PURPOSE Summer School Plans�1929 Schools in America All day long one. Saturday in April the�-Admissions Committee of the Bryn Mawr Summer School sat around a long table in the Summer School headquarters considering a big pile of application blanks. Chairmen from 'the nearby districts were pres- ent, to give information about their own candidates, and many letters had come from the far West, from cities in the South, and from European countries. Former students of the Summer School had helped in inter- viewing new applicants and had sent in their recornmendations. To choose one "hundred students from almost two hundred applications is a difficult task. The school has no examinations. Entrance requirements are extremely simple�sixth grade edu- cation, two years in a factory, ages between twenty and thirty-five, ability to read and write English and good health.- Mental ability and the appli- cant's interest in industrial problems are also taken into consideration. Each district committee, now fifty in number throughout the United States, sends in a list of preferred applicants. From every district those students ranked by the committee as first choice are accepted, usually about sixty in all. About this group there is no question. They are all rank- and-ftle ,industrial workers,, or else from the group of women leaders in the labor movement. They meet the sixth-grade requirement;' they fall within the age limits for the school, and they have hr some way demon- strated their mental capacity and their interest in industrial problems. An analysis of their nationalities, trades, districts and labor affiliations is made on a big blackboard. On the basis of this analysis the rest of the students are selected. The school tries always to keep a certain proportion of each and France Contrasted In chapel, on Wednesday, Mile. I'arde spoke on the differences be- tween the American and the French educational system. Tlrfc speech was in the nature of a farewell address since Mile. I'arde is returning to France for next year after ten years at Bryn Mawr. where, as Miss Schenck pointed'out, "every one has very keenly appreciated her sympathetic under- standing of American things." "It is extremely difficult to present such a subject in a few minutes," be- gan Mile. I'arde, "and,so I can only use generalizations, which give very incomplete impressions. Fundamen- tally your system is very different froth that in my own country. In America there is a freedom and a variety aljout education; in France it is strictly or- ganized and centralized.

Bv ex- perience the committee has learned to select about thirty more candidates tharf can be accommodated in the school, knowing that for many reasons CONTINUED ON THE THIRD PAOE Freshmen Rise to Occasion The alumnae and older undergrad- uates have recently clasj*�d unto their hearts and bosoms the Class of 1932. Inspired by a righteous sense of duty and a vigorous enthusiasm aroused by the oratory of Mrs. Collins, the late freshmen have joined the ranks of true Bryn Mawrters by subscribing to the payments for Goodhart Hall. Per- haps having the use of the building tends to make those uninitiated dur- ing the pre-Goodhart era take our latest addition somewhat for granted. Perhaps, on the other hand, the use of the building makes them appreciate more fully just how much the build- ing adds to the daily life of the col- legian. At any rate, 1932 has realized what the Commons Room, the Music Room, the Auditorium �and the other nooks and crannies of the building mean to them. They have pledged themselves to pay for the rigging of the. Goodhart stage, and the under- graduates especially realize what their generous contribution will mean �o<he college. r* ? Important Notice Students who are returning to take condition examinations in September will Be allowed to sfay in Radnor Hall begin- ning September 25.' Breakfast will be served in the Hall, but no other meals. A charge of one dollar and twenty-five cents -for. night and breakfast will l>e made. Those who wish to stay in Rad- nor should inform Miss Caviller of the date of their return at the time wh they write about their coiiditiorTexanu- nations. Under special conditions an undergraduate tutor will be permitted to stay in Radnoc with the person that she is tutoring, but permission for making this arrangement should be obtained fn Jthc Dean's office. No other students, graduate or under- graduate, will be allowed to return to the halls of residence before Monday, September 30; and those who come back for condition examinations are not sup- posed to go into their own halls except when absolutely necessary. MlLLICEN'T CARKV, Acting Dean of the College. Delightful Program Monna de Montoliu Dances Monna de Montoliu, the daughter and pupil of Placido de Montoliu, formerly an instructor of dancing at the Thome School, presented a recital of dances in Goodhart auditorium, Wednesday, May fifteenth. Miss de Montoliu was accom- panied by Dorothy Hodge, violinist, and Muriel Hodge, pianist. The dances were prettily rendered, but were uninteresting as they lacked origi- nality, of form and interpretation. Miss de Montolu was graceful and light- frioted, although her movements varied only within a lew types, and caught little of the motif in the more subtle music of her program. Common dra- matic figures were introduced, and char- acter costumes typified the various com- positions. Miss de Montoliu is limited in her power, and her art was best dis- played in the clever but superficial Allegro of Dittersdorf, in the peasant gestures of Grieg's Norwegian Dance, and in the lively /.ortico of Albeniz. dancing it not developed to the Her sion of Strauss or Kreisler, but is suited to the folk dance. Miss de Montoliu was certain of herself and pleasingly sin- cere, even if she did not realize the full emphasis of the music. The. dances were interspersed with several violin solos, and Miss Dorothy CONTINUED ON THE SIXTH PAOE * On Sunday evening. June 2, at 8 |b'clock, the baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Dr. Charles Edward Bark, of the First Church, in Boston. Before the services began the faculty and candidates for degrees formed the academic procession,* inarching from the library, through Rockefeller arch and entering Goodhart by the main door. The scene was most impres- sive, and the two holders of English degrees gave a decided bit of variety and of atmosphere t<| the procession. After the regular services Dr. Park Spoke upon the kind of lives "that we should live in order to leave for those who follow us "fat pasturage and good." The descendants of the tribe of Ham left "a country wide and peaceable and good." simply because they had inhabited it. The conclusion drawn from snch a premise is most significant. The kind of people who have foresight and consideration for others and vvljo lead a creative, gener- ous and constructive life are tj^ose who are an eternal blessing to mankind and an asset to civilization. IC is said by many, people that Americans especially � have never learned Lo lead this godly kind of life. Their cities show no fore- sight : "they were built first and planned afterwards." In our world today men are forced to be first de- structive, in order that they may later be constructive. This same failure may be seen in the development of laws and our institutions; we have developed no definite, progress- ing policy. "America," said Dr. Park, "is a kind of enlarged Topsy. She jus' growed." This criticism is not unfair, because we needit��The psychosis of a new n Js a terrific ordeal. The in- toxicating wealth of natural resource and opportunity which was found upon this continent made it impossible, at first, for men calmly to think and to provide. It is only now being seen that our minds and spirits have not been permanently unbalanced by flits" phenomenon. We still can re-esttfb- lish the poise and steadiness of a nation' of far-sighted nation-builders. CONTINUED ON THE SIXTH PAGE Parade Hilarious Monday was Alumnae Day, but the Sun didn't seem to realize the intrinsic importance of the fact. Or maybe, being male, he was merely too sly to face such a .compact and strictly female gathering. The alumane knew it was their day, however, even if the Jotfa| old Sun didn't. In spite of the . disillusioning November effect of the weather gaiety prevailed. The band was present, of course, and led the parade from I'em Arch to the Gym. Inside it blared away from the balcony while the' various reuning classes paraded their costumes below. And the costumes were good, too. '98 and .'16 headed the list for Bohe- mian atmosphere�'98 all wore dark blue painters' smocks and '16 light blue. Each person carried a palette covered with most realistic spotches of paint. "President Park's Portrait Painters" was the'lsfbel they chose for themselves. '97 carried out the red motif with admirable thoroughness: red berets, red-checked smocks, and even red corkscrew curls. Other highlights were the "1917 Vandals." a bloody pirate crew, 1918 appeared, merettes bearing a banner in- scribed with the inspiring words. "We were the great war class. We won the war hoeing potatoes." Between halves of the basketball game the alumnae and the undergraduates joined in an hilarious snakedance to the stirring strains of "To the May- pole."

Not many have the taste for it there. People here laugh at me when I tell them that many in Alabama consider basic table black pepper "spicy". Its true though and many do not like spice. Many restaurants/deli's have come and gone but only the commercial Steamer/bar like places survive.

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more joints. A joint is the area where two bones meet. There are over 100 different types of arthritis.
Joint inflammation; Joint degeneration
Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. Normal cartilage protects a joint and allows it to move smoothly. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, such as when you walk. Without the normal amount of cartilage, the bones rub together. This causes, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness.
Joint inflammation may result from:
In most cases, the joint inflammation goes away after the cause goes away or is treated. Sometimes it does not. When this happens, you have chronic arthritis. Arthritis may occur in men or women. Osteoarthritis is the most common type.
Other, more common types of arthritis include:
Arthritis causes joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement. Symptoms can include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history.
The physical exam may show:
Some types of arthritis may cause joint deformity. This may be a sign of severe, untreated rheumatoid arthritis.
Blood tests and joint x-rays are often done to check for infection and other causes of arthritis.
Your doctor may also remove a sample of joint fluid with a needle and send it to a lab to be checked.
The goal of treatment is to reduce pain, improve function, and prevent further joint damage. The underlying cause often cannot be cured.
Lifestyle changes are the preferred treatment for osteoarthritis and other types of joint swelling. Exercise can help relieve stiffness, reduce pain and fatigue, and improve muscle and bone strength. Your health care team can help you design an exercise program that is best for you.
Exercise programs may include:
Your health care provider may suggest physical therapy. This might include:
Other things you can do include:
Medicines may be prescribed along with lifestyle changes. All medicines have some risks. You should be closely followed by a doctor when taking arthritis medicines .
Over-the-counter medicines:
Prescription medicines:
It is very important to take your medicines as directed by your doctor. If you are having problems doing so (for example, because of side effects), you should talk to your doctor. Also make sure your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking, including vitamins and supplements bought without a prescription.
In some cases, surgery may be done if other treatments have not worked. This may include:
A few arthritis-related disorders can be completely cured with proper treatment.
Most forms of arthritis however are long-term (chronic) conditions.
Complications of arthritis include:
Call your doctor if:
Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent joint damage. If you have a family history of arthritis, tell your doctor, even if you do not have joint pain.
Avoiding excessive, repeated motions may help protect you against osteoarthritis.

Alright, with my new job, I'm having trouble keeping up with the series threads. So I figured I'll just create a monthly thread, especially since each series thread doesn't have all that much activity in it.
Sweep of the Marlins: good. Got the big (wrong) call in Saturday's game that kept the score 4-2, Cards go on to walk off. Sure, they should be the Marlins, but glad they actually did since they've been struggling as of late.
