AMD A10-6800K Richland Review
Cinebench and POV-Ray
Published: 5th June 2013 | Source: AMD | Price: £116.99 |
Maxxon's Cinebench provides an insight into how well the CPUs would fare when tasked to render complex images, as well as how the GPU deals with rendering a scene using OpenGL.
The results clearly show that the graphics solution of the AMD chips is far superior than the i3's in this scenario, while the Intel chip does well to keep up with its opponents in the CPU test despite lower clock speeds.
We see that the 6800K loses marginally to the 5800K in the OpenGL render test, which is strange seeing as the 8760D should trump the 7660D.
POV-Ray is another benchmark focused on how well the CPU deals with complex image renders, and we can see that the 6800K does pull ahead of the Trinity chip, as well as just beating the i3.

Good job on this review Josh! I was actually surprised. In the first page(not trying to be picky) I felt there were way to many commas. I ain't no English major but seems too many were used
Keep up the good workQuote
That APU seems like a great little chip, for the money!Quote
But I guess it makes more sense that this is just really a minor refresh, given that Kaveri is supposed to arrive towards the back half of the year.Quote
Bottom line - this is not a fair "real world test" who uses 1600mhz ram at 1333 mhz... REALLY.
I mean who even buys 1333mhz ram these days - NOBODY.
My conclusion is that you are just a bunch of intel lackeys...
Rerun the test fairly please.Quote
Josh did not have time to run faster mem tests, all results in this review we ran while he was here the other week. Adding in extra mem speeds would have required a: them all to match to be comparable and b: taken twice as long which was just not possible.
I can say in our testing 2133 was not achievable with the Richland APU on test today.Quote
Congrats on your first official review Josh
Nice to see the graphs in ascending/descending order as well, they looks so much better like that.Quote
Spotted a typo on the page title "Tomb Raider and Sleeping Sogs"Quote
I agree with you on the standardisation (eg all at 1333, all at 1600). But I think that in this specific case it would be unfair to not run the A10 at max (2133) and then bump the intel to 2133mhz as well as certainy for the Trinity A series bumping the ram from 1600 to 1800 yielded some neat results.
It's interesting that you say that the A10 was a no go on 2133... Any reason? Unstable?Quote
Well done write up. I'm glad to see AMD seems to be finally righting the ship and even tho they'renot making huge strides in performance gains, they're steadily getting better and better. I totally agree tho that they really need to address their power consumption. I think that's more of an Achilles heel for them than IPC.
Can't see the benchmarks tho cause Android doesn't do Flash anymore. Quote
Might we get a Hybrid Xfire bench at some point from it?
/edit understand you do not have quite the magic cupboard yet.. but worth asking at least edit/
small typo four paragraphs from bottom of conclusion,
|Intel's i3 and the 6870K in terms
Kaveri was confirmed today by years end. This looks like just minor changes to make the purchasers of FM2 happy.
It means we might be getting a taste of what Steamroller will really be like sooner rather than later.
They really do benefit from it!Quote
Personal opinion, you should have really tested at 2133MHz...
They really do benefit from it!

It was a very busy week in Columbia as the rubber hit the road on a number of important issues facing the General Assembly.
First up, a House Judiciary subcommittee opened the debate on two bills that will block the implementation of Obamacare in the state. This is a Republican Caucus agenda item, and something that Republican voters told Republican candidates they wanted in no unspecific terms last November.
A packed house of concerned conservatives came to the meeting in support of one of the two bills. Republican Rep. Tommy Pope of York County laid out his party's Caucus position concisely when he said: "The Republican Caucus will oppose Obamacare in any way we can. We're trying to figure out the Constitutional way to do so." That debate will continue since the committee ran out of time for all of the speakers. No vote was taken on either bill this week.
The House gave strong, bi-partisan approval to shortening the legislative session by nearly two months. The 91-9 vote on the constitutional amendment sends the bill to the Senate. If approved by a two-thirds vote in the Senate, it would go to the voters for approval in November 2014. We have worked for 20 years to shorten the legislative session – which would save taxpayer money by forcing the General Assembly to work more efficiently. Since this is ultimately an issue about sending the question to the voters, we hope the Senate will act quickly.
Finally, the House Caucus Ethics Reform Study Committee gave its findings to the Republican Caucus. The full report included four pages of bullet points, so I'll summarize the major points in the space I have left.
First, the committee recommends amending the State Constitution to create an independent commission from both the legislative and executive branches of government to investigate all complaints against public officials.
As the Constitutional amendment is moving through the process, the committee recommends establishing a Public Integrity Unit comprised of Attorney General, Chief of SLED, director of the Department of Revenue, the executive Director of the Ethics Commission and the State Inspector General. This unit will report facts for the commission to adjudicate in the same way SLED will investigate for the state solicitors.
If the Constitutional amendments are approved, it will abolish the House and Senate ethics committees and end the practice of the House and Senate "policing themselves." Until that amendment is approved, they will continue to adjudicate their bodies based on the findings of the Public Integrity Unit.
Next, the committee recommended these reforms of the Ethics Reform Act:
Require the disclosure of private income sources as a component of the annual Statement of Economic Interest filed by all public officials.
Abolish "Leadership PACs."
Enhance both the level and number of penalties available to the Ethics Commission for violations of the Ethics Act.
Expand the definition of "lobbyist" to include parties who appear before counties and municipalities thereby triggering the requirement that they register with the state commission and are subject to the same restrictions as lobbyist who appear on the state level.
Require that recusal on a matter extends to committee and subcommittee votes.
Require lobbyists to disclose all income received from lobbyist principals for all services rendered.
Define "economic interest" to include not only economic benefit but also the avoidance of loss.
Numerous new requirements and restrictions about public officials' financial relationships with state and local governments as well as companies with lobbying interests.And finally, the committee endorsed several change to the Freedom of Information Act, specifically endorsing the legislation filed by Rep. Bill Taylor (H. 3163). The General Assembly will be debating ethics reform over the next few months. This is an important issue since our ethics laws have not been substantively changed since the creation of the Internet.

How Resilient People Stand Back Up When Life Knocks Them Down
Scott C. Hammond, PhD, who is a Clinical Professor of Management in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business was recently featured in an article in Fast Company talking about resilience. Hammond says:
Resilience is a choice. Almost every case we studied of people who survived being lost in the wilderness said they "decided" to survive. Even an eight-year-old boy lost overnight at 11,000 ft said, "I knew I wanted to live."
The same is true for entrepreneurs and careerists who face what are seemingly insurmountable challenged. They make a choice. That say to themselves, "I want to get through this. I will do what it takes to survive until I can find a way to thrive." Of course making the choice to be resilient does not guarantee a positive outcome, but it does have two interesting effects on individuals in survival situations.
First, they report seeing the ideal future. A good example of this is the famous canyoneering climber Aaron Rawlston who cut off his arm with his pocket knife when he was trapped in a narrow canyon. His story can be seen in the documentary "126 Hours." Rawlston reports that while in a space between sleep and hallucination he saw his unborn son running towards him. He saw himself holding the young boy and laughing. He remembers a vivid sense of joy as he held his child. When he awoke he realized again his predicament, and also that he had no son, no wife and no future. But he did have a vision of the ideal that motivated him to action. Rarely do we realize the ideal in our lives, but visualizing the ideal creates hope, and hope motivated resilience.
Second, making the decision to be resilient helps us see our situation differently. In my book Lessons of the Lost: Finding Hope and Resilience in Work: Life, and the Wilderness I tell the story of Victoria Grover who was lost in the wilderness for five days with a broken leg. Victoria, who is a hero of mine, broke her leg at the base of a dry waterfall, 100 yards from water. She was in a place where she could not see or be seen, nor could she get to the needed water. Unable to climb up and over the rocks with her broken leg, she wondered what to do. "There has to be a way," she told herself. Then she reported to me that she saw herself backwards, as if in a mirror. Backwards. Yes. Backwards. "I can turn around and go backwards over the rocks." It took her 12 hours, but she got to water and warmth. The "backward" thinking saved her life.
There are tragic tales in the wilderness of strong people who chose not to be resilient. Who gave up. Four in five business start ups fail. But four in five are not bad ideas that will not work in the market. Some portion of those failures come because the entrepreneur was not resilient enough.

The Stetson men's basketball team's upset bid against league-leading Mercer fell short on Sunday, as the Bears used a 26-2 run to defeat the Hatters 73-52 on Senior Day at the Edmunds Center.
"I'm awfully proud of my four seniors," Stetson head coach Corey Williams said. "They really wanted to win this basketball game, unfortunately we came up short."
Stetson (7-21, 5-11 A-Sun) came out with energy and passion as seniors Willie Green, Aaron Graham, Hunter Miller, and Raymone Andrews took to Glenn Wilkes Court for the final time in their careers.
The Hatters battled toe-to-toe with Mercer (22-7, 13-3 A-Sun), not trailing by more than five points and taking the lead on seven different occasions during the first 15:40 of the game. Stetson's final lead of the first came when Andrews found Miller for a pull-up jumper on the break to make it 27-26 in favor of the Hatters.
"In the first half I thought we played pretty well," said Williams. "Even though they shot 60 percent, the energy was there, the enthusiasm was there, and we were in the ball game."
Unfortunately, Mercer ended the period with a 9-0 run over the final 3:41 to take a 35-27 lead into the break. The Hatters countered the Bears' impressive 60.0 percent shooting from the floor in the first half, by forcing the usually sure-handed Mercer squad into making 12 turnovers over the first 20 minutes of play.
A three-pointer by Langston Hall sparked a 17-2 run to start the half, which game Mercer a 26-2 run over a span of more than 11 minutes, going back to the end of the first frame.
The first of two three-pointers by Stetson leading scorer Green put an end to the Mercer run, but at that point the Bears had extended their lead to 52-29. The Hatters got as close as 17 when redshirt-freshman Brian Pegg converted a traditional three-point play to make it 59-42 with 7:01 to play.
Mercer continued to make stops and execute well on the offensive end, cruising to the 73-52 win on Sunday afternoon. The Bears shot 58.0 percent from the floor and held the Hatters to just 35.1 percent shooting.
"It was a tale of two halves," Williams said. "They came out and established momentum. They hit some shots and all of the sudden we were climbing up hill."
Stetson was only able to turn Mercer over six times in the second half, and the Hatters finished with 15 turnovers of their own to even the score sheet.
Green led the Hatters with 16 points and seven rebounds in the defeat. Junior Kentwan Smith added 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting, which makes the forward 14-of-18 over his last two outings. Pegg chipped in with nine points. Andrews totaled seven points and five assists, while Miller finished with seven points and six assists.
Hall led Mercer with 16 points and four steals in the win. Anthony White Jr. and Ike Nwamu added 12 and 11, respectively. Bud Thomas recorded a team high six assists for the Bears.
Stetson will finish regular season play next weekend, taking on Northern Kentucky and Lipscomb on the road. The Hatters will clinch a spot in the A-Sun Tournament with a win or a Kennesaw State loss on Thursday.

Matthew McConaughey's Next 10 Movie Posters
Perhaps you've seen the poster for Matthew McConaughey's newest movie:
If you look closely, you'll notice something about this poster: it's awful. But, if you look even MORE closely, you'll notice something else. This movie looks oddly similar, by which I mean almost fucking identical to some other terrible Matthew McConaughey movies you may remember ignoring:
Bullshit those are three different movies. Bullshit. Bullshit all over town. Bullshit right on down to the break of dawn, those are the same movies, that son of a bitch hasn't even aged. Looking at these posters, as well as the posters for That Wedding Movie He Did, The One With the Horse-Faced Chick and The Other One With Kate Hudson, I started wondering what it takes to come up with a movie like this. The formula seemed pretty simple: a pun or two, a cutesy tagline, an infuriating title and a picture of McConaughey smirking like he was just crowned the Douche King of Dipshit Mountain. Using this algorithm and utilizing the army over at Twitter, I've come up with the next 10 movies that Matthew McConaughey is likely to make.
We're still playing "Write Your Own Shitty Matthew McConaughey Movie" over on Twitter, and you can see all of our taglines and titles here. Or, if you make your own movie poster, send it to me at dan (at) cracked (dot) com and I'll add it on to this page.

Nashville, Tenn. -- For the first time since 2008, the Hatters will be playing for the Atlantic Sun Championship.
Meredith Owen tossed a three-hitter in the circle and hit a three-run home run at the plate to help lead Stetson to a 4-1 victory over Mercer Friday in the Atlantic Sun tournament winner's bracket semifinals at Draper Diamond.
The Hatters (37-12) improved to 3-0 on the week and will advance to Saturday's conference championship at 1 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3. Stetson's opponent will be determined Friday night.
Owen has been strong in the circle for the Hatters during this week's tournament, but on Friday, she came through at the plate as well. With the scored tied 1-1 in the bottom of the third, the Hatter senior stepped to the plate with runners at first and second and two outs.
"I was just looking for anything good to hit," Owen said. "I was up there to get the best swing I could get in. She threw me something outside, so I just went with it."
Owen smashed a line drive to deep right field that just carried over the reach of the Mercer right fielder to give Stetson a three-run lead.
"I thought the right fielder caught it when I rounded first," Owen said. "Then I saw her glove was empty when she came back down, and I was on cloud nine after that."
Stetson had trailed 1-0 after an RBI double by Krista Kennedy in top of the first. The Hatters tied the score in the bottom of the third when Courtney Brandt doubled and scored on Jessie TenBroeck's RBI single.
"We came from behind, but that's not uncommon for this team," head coach Frank Griffin said. "Meredith was in a position where she could make a huge impact, and she did what she has done so many times this year. That three-run home run sealed the deal."
Owen (25-7) scattered three hits and struck out six en route to her 25th win of the season. She has pitched all 21 innings during the tournament for Stetson and has held opponents to just 2-for-27 with runners on base.
Stetson's outfielders were busy throughout the game, tracking down several deep flies off of the bats of the Bears hitters.
"The outfielders did a great job," centerfielder Chrissy Morello said. "We had to really work and run for those balls because the wind was blowing like crazy from the storms. We wanted to step up for Meredith, and I am glad we did. She deserved this one."
The win was Stetson's 13th come-from-behind win this season and second during the A-Sun tournament.
Notes: Stetson will be making its 10th appearance in an A-Sun Final but first since the new tournament format took effect in 2011 ... Meredith Owen hit the 32nd home run of her career, moving her into the Top 20 in Atlantic Sun history ... Stetson has hit 44 home runs this season, one shy of the school record ... The Hatters have tied the school record with 74 doubles this season ... Jessie TenBroeck stole her league-leading 28th base of the year (second time stealing third base) ... Brittany Hawn extended her errorless streak to 29 games ... Owen is the fourth Hatter to win 25 games in a season, the first since Amanda Lindsey in 2010.

Question 1: To maximize a distinctive image and to ensure ongoing competitiveness for TWU, what should be the size and composition of the student body by 2018?
Question 2: To respond to external demands (legislature, job market, public constituencies, etc.), what unique programmatic directions will be critical for the university to pursue, particularly to support the identified size and composition of the student body?
Question 3: What are the resource needs and business imperatives that would sustain the student body, ensure simultaneous programmatic success, as well as financial stability and competitiveness?
Question 4: How does TWU build a communication architecture to ensure robust planning and a shared, university commitment?
Provost Robert Neely appointed Visioning Committee 1 in Fall 2012 to answer Question 1, and the group of TWU faculty and staff provided a report in June 2013. In academic year 2013-14, cross-cutting committees to answer questions 2, 3, and 4 will be appointed. The three committees will transition the visioning process from formation of a vision to creation of a strategic plan to achieve the vision.

Erie County Mark C. Poloncarz wants the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to withdraw what he called a "deeply flawed" audit of the way the county spent federal emergency grant money after the October 2006 surprise storm.
Poloncarz made the request in the county's formal response to the audit submitted Thursday. The letter outlines the county's position that the county worked within existing federal laws when it selected vendors for $39.4 million in grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and that the county can provide additional documentation for $9.03 million in other expenses.
The audit recommended that the Federal Emergency Management Agency seek to recoup the $48.9 million from the county.
Poloncarz, who will meet with the head of FEMA to discuss the audit, also called on the agency to reject the audit's findings.

Tim Mooney, author of "Moliere than Thou" and "Lot o' Shakespeare," is coming to the Virginia Thomas Law Center for the Performing Arts at West Virginia Wesleyan College on Feb.18 at 8 p.m. to present "The Greatest Speech of All Time," a work of 10 speeches given by Socrates, Frederick Douglass, Abe Lincoln and more.
"I love being able to bring moments of historical consequence, where great deeds hang in the balance, to immediate and tangible life," Mooney said.
"The Greatest Speech of All Time" leads the audience through the words that shaped history as they were being spoken. Mooney's special taste for recognizing and interpreting the shades of irony and hyperbole which informed the oratory, and his ability to untangle the "spaghetti" of centuries-old syntax, recreates these events, enabling the audience to experience the moment when everything hangs in the balance.
Article Photos
We watch Socrates, having been condemned to death by an Athenian jury, giving his famous "Apology," in anticipation of his death sentence. Socrates' bravery, along with the thickness of his irony, is unmistakable as he predicts the dread consequences that will befall his accusers.
Mark Antony delivers "Friends, Romans, Countrymen," addressing the mob at Caesar's funeral, while deftly turning their anger against the "honorable men" who conspired to assassinate Caesar.
Frederick Douglass presents a searing Fourth-of-July indictment of slavery, mounting a "fiery stream" of rebuke for the "revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy" that characterized the American slave trade.
Mooney portrays Abraham Lincoln with Shakespearean gravitas, recreating the Gettysburg Address that Lincoln (incorrectly) suggested "the world will little note nor long remember," even as he reinvigorates the Union, galvanizing them to the "great task remaining before us."
In a comic turn, Teddy Roosevelt, running for President as the leader of the Bull Moose Party, delivers a lengthy address, in spite of the fact that he has just been shot. Over his aides' objections, Roosevelt insists that "the issues at stake in this campaign" are far more important than his own life.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first inaugural speech, "Fear Itself," delivered in the midst of the Great Depression, sounds startlingly contemporary.
Mooney performs three of Winston Churchill's speeches, from the run-up to Germany's invasion: "Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat," followed by "We shall Fight them on the Beaches" and "This Was their Finest Hour."
Finally, Dr. Martin Luther King speaks to the Memphis Sanitation Workers the day before he is shot, taking his audience on an imaginary journey over time, eerily anticipating his own death in the "I have been to the mountaintop" speech and promising that "we as a people will get to the promised land!"
"The Greatest Speech of All Time" is a free event hosted by Bobcat Entertainment.

John Dudley: Pitt appears poised to turn upset table on Gonzaga
Things I think...
- Time was when Gonzaga was the middle seed lurking in the bracket, ready to ambush a top seed happily steaming toward a regional final.
Now the Zags find themselves as a bona fide No. 1, holding down the top spot in the top quarter of the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament's West Region bracket.
And poised for a possible upset one rung below?
Pittsburgh, perhaps.
There are a few reasons to like where the eighth-seeded Panthers fell into this year's tournament. Assuming they survive a dangerous 8-9 opening-round matchup against Wichita State, the Panthers would get the chance to play spoilers against Gonzaga.
And you sort of have to like their chances.
While Pitt was 3-6 against ranked teams this season, they showed a knack for playing up to the level of their competition.
They lost by only five to then-No. 5 Michigan in November, lost by three to Louisville -- the Midwest's top seed -- and split a pair of games down the stretch against Syracuse, beating the Orange 65-55 when they were ranked sixth in early February.
There's no guarantee the Panthers can dial up the effort they produced in those games, but if they do manage to get past Gonzaga, you've got to believe they can reach the regional final, likely against No. 2 seed Ohio State.
- Looking over the entire bracket, I like Louisville to win the Midwest, Ohio State out West, Georgetown in the South (surviving a showdown with Kansas in the region final) and Miami to win the East.
I like Louisville and Miami in the title game, with the Hurricanes pulling out a victory behind the stellar play of ACC tournament MVP Shane Larkin.
- Doug Marrone's first couple of months on the job figured to be rough. But not only did the Bills' new coach lose his best offensive lineman when Andy Levitre signed a lucrative deal with the Titans, he's been left to deal with the fallout of general manager Buddy Nix's leaked phone call about quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and Fitzpatrick's subsequent release.
Where this leaves the Bills is likely needing to decide whether to spend their first-round pick in next month's draft -- the eighth overall -- on a quarterback or an interior lineman.
There's a good chance both Alabama guard Chance Warmack and West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith could be available when the Bills pick.
If so, it's a tough decision between perhaps the top quarterback in a weak draft for quarterbacks and or a consensus can't-miss lineman.
The lineman would seem to be the smarter move, particularly if Nix and Marrone believe they can snag former Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib with their second pick, the 41st overall.

Dangerous TB Patient Detained on U.S. Border
In medical isolation in South Texas, 100 miles or so from Mexico's border, is a man who embodies one of U.S. health officials' greatest worries: He is the first person to cross and be held in detention while infected with one of the most severe types of drug-resistant tuberculosis known today.
Related Video
His three-month odyssey through 13 countries—from his homeland of Nepal through South Asia, Brazil, Mexico, and finally into Texas—shows the way in which dangerous new strains of the disease can migrate across the world unchecked.
Tuberculosis, an ancient, fatal airborne disease, has been treatable for decades with a cocktail of drugs. However, shoddy medical practices world-wide have enabled the bacteria to mutate and, in some cases, become all but untreatable. In recent months The Wall Street Journal has exposed widening TB drug resistance in hot spots like India, and shown that the U.S. is surprisingly unprepared for the growing global problem. Most U.S. cases of drug-resistant TB occur in people who were born abroad, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Nepalese man detained at the U.S. border carries a particularly deadly strain—XDR, "extensively drug-resistant" TB. His TB is resistant to at least eight of the 15 or so standard drugs, according to a U.S. government description of the case reviewed by the Journal. His XDR strain has been seen only once before in the U.S., in another patient of Nepalese origin, according to the government description.
The Nepalese patient was taken into custody by the U.S. Border Patrol in late November as he tried to cross the border illegally near McAllen, Texas, according to Department of Homeland Security officials. The government declined to name him.
He was transferred five days later to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Los Fresnos, Texas, and put into "medical isolation" with suspected tuberculosis, according to ICE. He has since been moved to another ICE detention facility, in Pearsall, Texas, with more medical staff, ICE said. He is the first XDR-case in ICE custody.
In-Depth: A Killer Quietly Gains Strength
The Wall Street Journal is chronicling the world's imperfect response to the rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis, an ancient disease that modern medicine, until recently, could defeat.
A selection of reports:
- Deadly unintended consequences: The global TB-fighting strategy helped allow the spread of new, all-but-untreatable strains . (11/23/12)
- Exclusive numbers suggest more than 25% of patients at one Indian TB clinic don't respond to the primary treatment. (11/23/12)
- One woman's case of nearly incurable tuberculosis echoes around the world. (9/8/12)
- India's slow reaction appears to be nurturing an all-but-untreatable strain of TB, raising the prospect of a global health hazard. (6/20/12)
- A top doctor in Mumbai reports finding 12 cases of tuberculosis that are all but untreatable by current methods. (1/19/12)
Twelve Border Patrol agents were tested for the disease, but none contracted it from the patient, a Customs and Border Protection official said. Casual contact doesn't necessarily lead to infection, though it depends in part on how much time is spent in tight quarters with a patient, and how much the patient coughs, spreading bacteria into the air.
It remains unclear whether other people in custody with the Nepalese detainee might have been infected. By the time the Border Patrol learned of his infection, other people detained with him would have been transferred elsewhere, the CBP official said. Detainees who are suspected of being ill are placed in cells by themselves.
Given how far and wide the patient ventured—he took a flight of more than eight hours to Brazil, and also traveled by car, boat and on foot—his case was reported to the World Health Organization as having potentially widespread public-health impact. Now, officials in the 13 countries the man visited along the way must try to track down thousands of people he likely came into contact with, to see if any were infected.
That will be a challenge. "We will try to investigate where he was," said Martin Castellanos, director of Mexico's national TB program. But reconstructing his precise route through Mexico, or any country, will be difficult and perhaps impossible, he said.
Dr. Castellanos says he was told the man spent time in a migrant community in Reynosa, across the border from Texas. But migrants typically linger there only "for a week, two weeks," he said, before moving on. "For sure, no one who was there in November is there now," he said.
The WHO's Stop TB Department said it is working with the CDC to inform affected countries about people who may have been exposed to the man. It is also trying to get more details on potentially infected people in those countries who have been reached by local authorities.
DHS and the CDC declined to discuss details of the man's case, citing patient privacy. The man declined an interview request from the Journal made through ICE. He also declined to sign a privacy waiver allowing officials to release details of his treatment and his immigration case, ICE said.
XDR-TB is a particularly dangerous form of the disease that is resistant not only to the two most potent TB drugs, but also a handful of second-line drugs. It is rare in the U.S.: Only six cases were reported in 2011, according to the CDC.
But it is a growing threat in countries including India and South Africa, where it has been found all over the country. The risk to the world is that the disease will migrate outward from these hot spots. Treatment options for XDR-TB are limited and can themselves be toxic.
ICE officials screen patients for TB—both regular and multidrug-resistant varieties—when they arrive at a detention facility. "We prepare for it and look for it," an ICE medical official said. They find one or two cases of multidrug-resistant TB a year, the official said.
How long the man will remain in care in the U.S. is unclear. Treatment can last for years, but TB patients aren't infectious for the entire course of treatment.
Detainee patients aren't normally kept until they are completely cured. However, infectious patients aren't deported on commercial flights or by any other means that "could be a danger to anyone," the official said.
One risk, of course, is that a patient won't have enough drugs or medical expertise to complete the treatment he or she needs once deported to another country. TB strains can become increasingly drug-resistant if a patient's treatment regimen is interrupted, even briefly. This is one way that drug-resistant TB has emerged over time.
The Migrant Clinicians Network, an Austin, Texas, nongovernmental organization, helps arrange for deported patients to continue their treatment in their home countries. U.S. officials also often send patients home with a supply of the TB drugs they need, particularly to countries where supplies are uneven.
Arranging care for drug-resistant patients is complicated, said Ed Zuroweste, the Migrant Clinicians Network's chief medical officer. "XDR is hugely difficult," he said. "You really have to have experts to treat someone like that."
Nepal is known for innovative health programs, including some to fight TB. But like many countries, it has struggled with drug-resistant forms. Nepal reported more than 35,000 TB cases in 2011, and 2.9% of new and 12% of previously-treated TB cases are multidrug-resistant, according to WHO data.

Very recently a severe vulnerability in the OpenSSL library was announced. It affected the vast majority of the internet.
What kind of attack? It allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.
ACD Systems https://store.acdsee.com uses the Digital River ecommerce system. The load balancer tier of Digital River's commerce system does not use the affected version of OpenSSL and is therefore not susceptible to this vulnerability. Digital River commerce sites and all other ACD Systems servers are up to date and therefore not vulnerable to the Heartbleed bug at this time.

A car seen leaving the scene of a Madras burglary fled at high speed after a deputy pulled it over on Highway 26 near Warm Springs Wednesday night -- and moments later, the car crashed into an oncoming Warm Springs police car, killing three adults and a child and seriously injuring the officer and another child, authorities said.
Late Thursday afternoon, Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins identified the dead as April Scott-Kalama, 26, Valerie Suppah, 25, Sean Starr, 22, and a 4-year-old girl Grace Sybil Scott, all of Warm Springs.
A 1 1/2 year-old boy, Ladamire Lydell Kalama survived the crash, Adkins said, and was in critical but stable condition at Portland's Doernbecher Children's Hospital, he said.
A Jefferson County sheriff?s deputy stopped the car near milepost 107 around 10:15 p.m., Adkins said.
The car had been seen earlier by witnesses fleeing the scene of a Madras burglary where gunshots were reported, Adkins said.
The burglary took place at Soundz Unlimited on Highway 97. Store owner Jim Willhite said shots were fired into his business just after 10 p.m.
"The bullet came through approximately, right here and it shattered the glass both inside and out," Willhite said, showing te bullet hole in the window.
He said the bullet ricocheted off a poster on the wall, and then flew across the room.
"It hit the bottom of this box," Willhite said. "And a little tiny spot on the wall."
The suspects made off with less than $500 worth of stereo equipment, according to Willhite.
His security company alerted police of the break-in, and soon after, a witness's description of the car suspects fled in led police to them, and a fateful encounter.
?When the deputy walked up to the suspect vehicle during the traffic stop, the driver sped away from the deputy at a high rate of speed,? Adkins said in a news release Thursday morning.
?The deputy returned to his patrol vehicle and pursued after the suspect vehicle, which was now out of sight,? the sheriff wrote.
About a mile and a half to the east -- just east of the Deschutes River and Warm Springs Indian Reservation boundary -- ?the deputy came upon the suspect vehicle, which had crashed with a Warm Springs Police car traveling the opposite direction,? the sheriff said.
"I mean, you're talking seconds," Jefferson County Sheriff's Sgt. Bryan Skidgel said Thursday. "The whole crash was really in seconds."
Adkins said a preliminary investigation revealed the pursued vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control and the car slid sideways into the oncoming lane, colliding with the police car.
The Warm Springs Police officer sustained several broken bones, and was in stable condition at the Madras hospital, Adkins said.
Oregon State Police are investigating the crash, with the assistance of Jefferson County sheriff's deputies and Warm Springs police.
"My heart goes out to the family of all the deceased, and the victims, as well as the officers that are involved," Skidgel said. "It's a traumatic deal for everybody, and it's nothing anybody wants."
The crash and investigation closed the highway around milepost 105 until around 3 a.m.
?When we arrived on scene, we knew there was a major crash involved, and we had to close the highway,? said ODOT spokesman peter Murphy, referring to it as ?a major crash, the likes of which we have not seen in quite some time.?
Skidgel said the the Warm Springs officer was responding to the traffic stop to provide cover for the sheriff's deputy.
"This is as bad as anything I can remember,'' Skidgel said.
ODOT accident records show it was the worst single fatal crash on a 20-mile stretch of Highway 26 in more than 20 years.
Members of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation were just starting to take in the unthinkable tragedy.

Author's Note: This is the second installment in an occasional series of articles meant to separate Asperger's Syndrome myths from facts. Although this is the second report, it is the first one on "lack of friendships" which begins a series within a series of reports on AS.
The Newtown, Conn., school massacre thrust Asperger's syndrome, also known as Asperger's Disorder, into the public eye. After the shooting, the news media dispersed word of a diagnosis of Asperger's for Adam Lanza, the school shooter, which has not been verified. (Click here for the first installment in this series, a definition and overview of Asperger's.)
Asperger's is a form of autism, and although individuals with the condition have average or above average intelligence, they are autistic. They display symptoms of autistic behavior, although it may not be to the same degree as a person who has classic autism, less commonly known as Kanner's autism. For this reason, clinicians refer to Asperger's as an invisible disability, meaning although it profoundly affects the one who has it, others don't see the autism and assume the individual has an emotional-behavioral disorder.
Because Asperger's is a neurobiological, with a physiological basis in the nervous system/brain, developmental disorder, it affects behavior. Individuals who have Asperger's are not mentally ill, but from the perspective of a typical (formerly called "normal") person, it may appear that they are -- because they do not conform to a standard their brains do not register or understand. This is where it becomes difficult, and sometimes unbearable, for an Asperger's-affected child in a school environment.
In the early stages of childhood, it is expected that children will mature in their relationships. Adults teach children how to "play nice" and reward them for doing so. As children mature, they are expected to form friendships with others, and many of these friendships are initiated at school.
On-time language development and intelligence often mask the autism of Asperger's-affected individuals, but as they get older their developmental delays become apparent -- hence the teasing, bullying, and shunning by peers. According to Tony Atwood, children who have Asperger's are three to five years behind their peers, both socially and emotionally.
Statistics bear out that children with Asperger's are virtually always bullied, and often severely. Other kids zone in on the AS-affected child's developmental differences and immature demeanor.
However, these children often want friendships, unlike many of their more severely autism-affected counterparts, yet they have no idea how to form or keep them. This leads to a lack of friendships, usually by the time the child reaches upper elementary (fourth and fifth) and middle school (sixth to eighth) grades.
Children must be taught from an early age that different does not mean inferior. Usually Asperger's-affected children are not in special education classrooms but are mainstreamed into general ed and, sometimes, gifted classrooms. Yet without needed support, they rarely succeed.
Support can be as simple as helping a child maintain an assignment calendar, as children who have Asperger's often lack executive-functioning skills. However, a much higher level of support is often needed, like a paraprofessional to shadow an older child at times when he is vulnerable to peer attack. These times include lunch, physical education and school assemblies.
Unfortunately, many professionals do not recognize the potential of kids who have Asperger's, nor do they understand the basis for their behavior, and they, along with the child's peers, reject them. It's time for educators to educate themselves.
Another way to help young people who have an Asperger's diagnosis form friendships is encouraging them to join a club based on their special interests, i.e., chess, science, art, music, etc. When their peers see they are extremely well-versed on a topic, they may recognize them as an expert and respect them for their knowledge. This will also boost the Asperger's-affected child's self-esteem and help him relate to peers.
The writer served as an expert witness on Asperger's syndrome.

0. phoneArena 09 Dec 2013, 23:34 posted on
For those of you who were worried about Samsung on the heels of disappointing sales of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4, you can officially stop worrying. While not sales to end users, Samsung has shipped 10 million units of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet in two months. Now this is certainly not the fastest moving Galaxy model, but this is the fastest selling Galaxy Note phablet to date...

No doubt it's the best Android smartphone in 2013.
2. Thehamster (Posts: 19; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
I believe it is as far as hardware goes, but i am not all that happy with mine. It has issues that such a powerful phone has no excuse for. I'm gonna switch back to HTC as soon as the max is released here in Sweden.
3. Pings (Posts: 303; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Can I ask why?
47. Thehamster (Posts: 19; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
Well mainly because touch wiz is so ugly. But the phone also does annoying things. Even with the original case it unlocks itself and goes into menus and calls people from my pocket. So nowi have to have a code on the lock screen even thoughi want it to unpick itself when you open the s-voice case. Also event other timei click the home button it Asia me what to complete the action with, and I have to choose touch wiz and save my choice, every other time! And it of course the quality feel of HTC products. Among other things ...
62. shrimpanzee (Posts: 18; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
Maybe you didn't turn off the high sensitivity for the screen. I had the same problem with my S4, turned off high sensitivity for the screen and no more accidental on screens.
5. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
HTC One Max is a fail. I don't know about you though, but to me, it's a huge disappointment. The fingerprint scanner is in the wrong location, the same 4 Ultrapixel camera, and the hardware is not wow at all but kudos to HTC for adding a micro SD card slot.
Galaxy Note 3 is better than the One Max, the only good thing about the One Max is the big screen. Just my opinion. But can I know that why you're not happy with your Note 3?
7. zekes (Posts: 229; Member since: 14 Aug 2012)
It might be a fail in sales put the performance is top notch The screen is bigger and it feels premium and the speakers knock the note 3 out and battery life HTC wins hands-down and HTC Sense is well polished
8. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the dual frontal speakers and the Sense UI and those things you mentioned. But you know what? In my country, the One Max is more expensive than the Galaxy Note 3, Xperia Z1, Lumia 1520, and the iPhone 5s (16GB).
The One Max is not worth buying if you ask me, but of course if you give me choose the One Max or the iPhone 5s, I will choose the One Max.
9. zekes (Posts: 229; Member since: 14 Aug 2012)
You didn't have to bring Apple into this I love technology has a hole so I wouldn't say the HTC one that is a fail it's not as great as the note 3 it's far from a failure and even beats the note 3 in key areas
13. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
I don't want to mention the iPhone 5s, but I have to because of the price. It's 16GB variant is cheaper then the One Max. But I will still choose the One Max among these two, because iPhone is...meh a toy phone.
But I will still say the One Max is a fail (iPhone 5s is a BIG FAIL so don't include or compare with the One Max), but that doesn't mean I lost my hopes for HTC's next flagship. I'm looking foward to HTC One II or whatever it's called.
17. zekes (Posts: 229; Member since: 14 Aug 2012)
Neither of them are failures but they did in key areas because of the customers needs or wants The iPhone could've been priced lower HTC could have any more features and iPhone is not a toy. I don't even know why that was said it's all about what the customer wants now you wouldn't want and enjoy to monopolize the market would you if so we wouldn't have choices so it is good to have different OSs
18. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
I won't say the iPhone is a toy or a fail if it has a big screen. The things I like on the iPhone 5s are the fingerprint sensor and the slow motion video recording, that's all. Why I say it's a fail? Because it's very expensive for a small phone (which many people call it a toy phone or phone for girls) and it has a small screen.
20. zekes (Posts: 229; Member since: 14 Aug 2012)
There might be a little truth to that but the market says otherwise yes it has a small screen but it's still a high-end phone yes it has a dual core but it still has high-end performance but it's more advanced on the UNIX level The foundation that is and yes it is very expensive that's why there's a market for is the way goes there both great phones

as a samsung fan and a former iphone user the only thing that i like with the 5s is their slow motion video recording but their touch id was a gimmick that was tested by the german hackers though its an open door for all smartphone makers to enhance their security

Xperias become the new resident Troll bro, that's why he's saying all this about the iPhone, when it wasn't even mentioned by the guy who started the conversation. He's looking for attention (green thumbs).

had a chance to get hold a unit of One Max just a week ago, first impression:
its just a bigger version of the original One with no added value, carried over the same pathetic Ultra Pixel camera gimmick, and the weight in my pocket feels like a big stone down there. the Sense is no where near the much more user-friendly TouchWiz. and the overall height is almost as ridiculous as the Galaxy Mega. the Max is a cool 100 USD more expensive than Note 3, is it worth it to pay such amount for just a better speaker, a fingerprint (which i doubt many HTC fanboy will admit that they dont ever use it) and slightly larger screen? well, i am done with that and going back to my Note.

Ha ha skyline88. What a show. You almost convinced me until u said touch wiz is better then sense =)). Here take $5...now TROLL back into you're cave.
I'm not saying that sense is perfect... nothing is...but FCKING SYMBIAN is better looking and more fluid than touchwiz.
28. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
How is the battery of the One Max? I know the Note 3 gets 8 hours of screen on usage through a 20 hour period. I thought that was already crazy.
59. Thehamster (Posts: 19; Member since: 04 Dec 2013)
I agree with you on the one max hardware and i was also very disappointed when it was released, but most of the functions of the note 3 are useless to me. All the air gestures are turned off and the multitasking is kind of useless because the split screens are filled up with keyboard when chatting. One thing that is absolutely great though is the stylus..
49. sergiobr (Posts: 708; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Note 3 is a monster !!!! 4K video and all the improvements, the best smartphone. I love it.

They just shipped the units.. they didn't sell it..
okay. please don't believe what samsung is been making ppl believe they have sold they devices..

23. skyline88 (Posts: 458; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
like how Apple always lie that they're creating the best smartphone in the entire universe? ya, kinda close.
31. Zack20 (Posts: 41; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
Who doesn't lie? Every company wants to make money, by any way possible.
41. SleepingOz (unregistered)
May be that's why, everywhere I go, I see at least 2people using the Note3.
Your comment reminds more of an unnamed exec of HTC lying about selling 5millions HTC One in the first month.
56. AstronautJones (Posts: 303; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
Story clearly indicates shipped and not sold.
26. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Impressive number.
30. Zack20 (Posts: 41; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
I second you! Note 3 is, by far, the best Android smartphone in the market.
43. Daftama (Posts: 619; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)

53. PhenomFaz (Posts: 1236; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)

Happy owner of Note 3...the awesomest device out there at the moment!

Most logical statement ive heard all day.
6. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
There's obviously a DOUBLE STANDARD -- when Apple sold 9 million units of its it new devices during launch weekend, the critics are saying Apple products suck since ONLY 9 million units were sold. Then they proceed to point out everything that is bad about say the 5S since it only comes with 1 GB of RAM and how the the 5C is so cheap since it's made out of plastic. How iPhones are just iToys.
Now, Samsung ships 10 millions of the Note 3 in two months and the same critics are saying what a great job Samsung is doing.
10. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
Except most of us take these results with a grain of salt. How many of those (and these) devices were actually sold to customers?
Successful devices don't always sell the best.
12. AFnerdTP (unregistered)
i'm sure i'm getting trolled.. but here goes nothing:
1. it's relative.. with Apple's standard, it's not so amazing. just in this article, they talk about how sales of the Note III is so much better than the previous models. so yes, in a way, it is a double standard because people's expectation of Apple is higher.
2. Apple does not compete with any other company when it comes to iOS.. if you want apple products, u buy an iPhone. Note III competes with.. well, just about every freaking phone that's worth mentioning.
14. ausnote2 (Posts: 84; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
You need to argue like with like. 9M iphones are from 4s, 5, 5c and 5s and here this article is only talking about 1 model.
You will fine PA goes both way more so for talking apple up than double standard.
Just be happy with your devices that you have chosen rather than crying double standard.
25. nctx77 (Posts: 1965; Member since: 03 Sep 2013)
You are absolutely wrong. The 9 million in one weekend was for the iPhone 5s and the 5c. You see how you tried to twist that. Dude the 5s sold roughly 7 million in one weekend by itself. The 5c sold around 2 mil. Total sales for the quarter included all iphone models, not the launch of the new iPhones. On top of that, those numbers did not include china mobile, which has damn near a billion people. Samsung phones are sold on China mobile.
34. ausnote2 (Posts: 84; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
No need to twist anything as I read it somewhere that that apple does not break out the models. I maybe be wrong if that is the case it is still 5s and 5c which is not like to like as per the original post.
What has china got to do with this argument about double standard.
Chill out man and be happy with what your devices you purchased and basically outlining the weak argument on DOUBLE STANDARD.
22. skyline88 (Posts: 458; Member since: 15 Jul 2013)
not sure what is your definition of DOUBLE STANDARD, but Note 3 and those hopeless 5S / 5C are in totally different categories. its like comparing one of the best mobile devices of 2013 with some typical products created by some American corporation and supported by a particular group of...... well, you know the group.
57. giani (Posts: 269; Member since: 13 Nov 2012)
I'm confused when u say group. Do u mean the group that's being paid to TROLL on websites and praise the plastic corporation ?!
29. Zack20 (Posts: 41; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
fanboy spotted! Beware
39. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
You're new here and you're already trolling... I give you a week before you get limited.
55. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Yes, total double standards everywhere but they usual favor Apple.
Apple having only a few phones to update compared to Android having 50 jillion phones to update = Apple being awesome with updates and Android sucking. That is only one of the double standards in the itard staple. They have like 50 jillion double standards in their favor.
11. ausnote2 (Posts: 84; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
Galaxy Note 3 deserve the Best Phone for 2013 and hook up to the multimedia dock which include HDMI to 27" monitor, mouse and keyboard, it virtually is a mini PC on the go.
Only dissappointment is on the SOFTWARE side. I toggle between Dolphin, Firefox and Maxthon to get as much as Desktop experience but it is not there yet such as simultaneous running tabs. Android chrome needs to support flash before I even touch it.

Sammy has the upper hand in the market right now so they are not worrying about not so much selling phones and concentrating on their hot selling current phones as per the demand.
24. nctx77 (Posts: 1965; Member since: 03 Sep 2013)
I've noticed a trend with Samsung. Every time there is bad new, they come out with these shipped numbers to try and cover up what was said earlier. I call BS. The same thing happened to the galaxy gear. We had these same big numbers with the S4, then it faded. Sammy is desperate... REAL DESPERATE!!!!
32. Zack20 (Posts: 41; Member since: 10 Dec 2013)
and what might be that "bad news"?
35. ausnote2 (Posts: 84; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
nuh man, YOU sound desperate.
What do you care if a multi billion dollar company post good/bad news?
a paid shill?
27. kenobi (Posts: 35; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
In this imaginary world of samsung: china, Japan and South Korea are southeast Asian countries. I suggest USA is in southeast Africa.

It's called "PHABLET"... And you probably meant what you said in a sarcastic way, but i don't believe you own one. :/

I wish you just learn to read.
Like I said, I wasn't thinking anything bad with the notion.
And I do own one, and like I said, I love it.

Yeah, yeah... If you say so.

Samsung is not slowing down anytime soon, ppl. just buy more Notes over the regular S phones.
44. gallabk (Posts: 16; Member since: 06 Oct 2013)
Note 3 is a Beast of a phone. After doing some customization on my N9005, it is working smooth and snappy. After Note 3 my phone 5 looks puny and strains my eyes.

A New Eye on Brazil and China: Medimix International to Conduct EphMRA Study on Internet Access by Physicians in Emerging Markets
Miami, FL (April 30, 2010) Medimix International announced today that after a very rigorous selection process, it has been chosen by EphMRA (European Pharmaceutical Market Research Association) to undertake a Foundation Committee project which will look at the extent to which physicians in Brazil and China access the internet. This is the second such project awarded to Medimix, which completed a similar investigation in 2005 on internet access in the Top 5 European countries.
This Foundation Committee project is a four-country study, covering the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), with Medimix the agency chosen to conduct the research in Brazil and China.
EphMRA's mission as an organization is to develop and improve standards and techniques in Europe for market research in the field of health and healthcare. Through its foundation committee, it regularly undertakes research which will contribute to decision-making processes of its members in their international activities. This study will specifically look at the frequency of access to the internet, the type available (dial up, broadband wireless) the devices most commonly used and more importantly, the physicians' willingness to participate in market research surveys.
BRIC countries represent a large, heretofore untapped market for pharmaceutical companies. China alone has 384 million internet users, mainly between the ages of 18 and 44, but this figure represents only 29% of the general population. According to previously released figures for 2009, there has been a sharp increase in the usage of mobile devices (99.6% increase) and laptops (42% increase) to access the internet. While not as populous, Brazil is still the sixth largest nation in the world, and its almost 68 million internet users represent over 34 % of the population.
"We are proud and honored to have been selected by the EphMRA Foundation Committee for undertaking this milestone project," commented Henry Gazay, CEO of Medimix International. "We see it as recognition from the industry of our efforts to develop marketing research in emerging countries and to explore new innovative techniques to continue serving our clients."
The study will look at whether or not online media is appropriate and unbiased for conducting marketing research in emerging markets. It will also have enormous import for the pharma industry, as it begins to develop new social media strategies and use internet communities to reach its target audience of healthcare professionals. The question looming in the background is whether physicians will follow the same patterns as the general populace and embrace this opportunity to share professional knowledge and express their opinions through the internet.
About Medimix International
Medimix International is a dynamic provider of advanced marketing research solutions for the healthcare industry worldwide. Medimix's proprietary panel provides direct access to more than 500,000 physicians and healthcare professionals from around the world, making it one of the largest panels in the industry. Medimix has various offices across the globe, including Sao Paolo (Brazil), Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai (China).
Medimix has invested heavily in applying research services in the fast growing on-line arena and for the social web. Medimix recently introduced: Scanbuzz, a social media monitoring platform for life sciences industries, currently tracking top 200 pharmaceutical products and 100 corporate brands in a variety of therapeutic areas. Clients may monitor their own choice of brands, disease or conditions, or any concept in which they are interested. Medimix has also partnered with VoxMed, a worldwide online community for the medical profession where physicians and healthcare professionals may discuss clinical symptoms, treatments, and prevention.

The Extended Learning program at Southeast offers a wide variety of courses and programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. In some cases, substantial course work may be completed at off-campus locations; however some course work may be required on campus depending on the individual's educational goals. In other cases, all course work towards a degree is offered at the off-campus location through a combination of on-site instruction, instruction by ITV, Web, and Webinar courses.
(Not full degree program)
All Agribusiness programs share a common core which includes agricultural economics, management, marketing, sales, finance and policy. The specialization in Plants and Soils combines study in the natural sciences with study in crop science, soil science, and/or horticultural science. Graduates are prepared to become ARCPACS certified agronomists, soil scientists or horticulturalists. Lectures are delivered by ITV with on-site, hands-on lab experiences.
The major in organizational administration leads to the B.S. degree in Business Administration and prepares individuals for a wide variety of professional opportunities in the world of business management -- from the multifaceted responsibilities of a small or family-owned business to the complex skills required to enter the larger corporate environment. The BSBA degree at Southeast is accredited by the AACSB International Association of Management. Courses in both the BSBA required core, required support, and general education (University Studies) courses are offered each semester at the locations below. Students then may opt to complete an undergraduate business program at the Cape Girardeau campus or the Organization Administration degree through Southeast Online.
For information: contact Ms. Mishea Culbreath, Harrison College of Business Advising Center, at (573) 651-5090; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Child Care and Guidance degree is designed for those seeking management careers in the day care or nursery school environment. Individuals may use course work towards state certification in child care, the two-year associate's degree or bachelor's degree. The emphasis is on bachelor's-level training. Locations listed below are tentative depending on demand.
(Coursework offered, but not full degree program)
For information: contact Dr. Shahrokh Shafaie, Northern Coordinator, at (573) 651-2258.
This part-time program is designed for teachers and other working professionals. The cohort program offers two courses each semester: one at the regional campus and the other in a three-weekend format at the Cape Girardeau campus. Both specializations in school and in mental health counseling are available. Students in the cohort program take two courses each semester, including summers, and will be able to complete the required 48 hours in about two-and-a-half years.
Beginning Fall 2008, the B.S. in Criminal Justice Degree will be offered in a cohort format to regional campuses in Kennett, Malden, Sikeston and Perryville. In the cohort program, students are expected to begin and complete the Criminal Justice courses together over a two year period. A second cohort beginning in Fall 2012 is tentatively planned.
For information: contact Dr. Michael Brown, Interim Chairperson, Department of Criminal Justice, at (573) 651-2541; e-mail email@example.com.
After completing this degree program, individuals are qualified to teach in elementary schools (prekindergarten-3rd grade) and in public and privately funded child care centers. Students in the program learn not only about the education of young children, but also child development, nutrition, first aid, children's literature and child psychology. Lecture is delivered to both Malden and Sikeston through ITV. The Sikeston Child Development Laboratory, own and operated by Southeast, provides the optimal setting to observe and work with infants, toddlers and pre-school children, applying theories and techniques taught in the classroom.
The Department of Educational Leadership and Counseling offers graduate courses in a variety of locations throughout the Southeast service region for professional teachers seeking career advancement into school administration as either a principal or superintendent. Individuals can complete essentially all degree requirements by attending courses at two or more locations. In addition, broad-based development of Web courses is ongoing.
For locations north of Cape Girardeau: contact Mr. Rick McClard, North Coordinator, at (573) 450-1863; e-mail email@example.com.
For locations south of Cape Girardeau: contact Dr. Ray Dowdy, South Coordinator, at (573) 651-2421; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Three Rivers Community College at Poplar Bluff: contact Ms. Karen Tucker, Academic Advisor for Southeast at Three Rivers, at (573) 840-9575; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
The major in elementary education leads to the B.S. degree and serves to provide top-level training and experiential learning for those seeking a career in teaching grades 1-5. The degree program in Malden is a daytime program designed for individuals prepared for full-time study involving two to three days per week; however, the programs in Kennett and Poplar Bluff are full-time evening programs to serve the fully employed adult student. All students complete the junior year through off-campus courses. Course work is also available off campus for the senior year, but students may find it beneficial to take some on-campus courses depending on area of emphasis.
Exceptional children are those who differ from normal or average children in intellectual, behavioral or physical characteristics to the extent that special educational services or facilities are required. Effectively teaching students who are learning disabled, mentally handicapped, behavioral disordered, severely developmentally disabled and/or are gifted requires special knowledge and skills. This program leads to certification in Cross-Categorical Services.
Individuals whose career goals require a broad-based academic preparation without a specific major and/or minor field will find the B.G.S. degree appealing because of its wide flexibility of curriculum. Rather than completing a 30+ hour major, students select from the broadest possible selection of lower- and upper-division course work.
The Bachelor of General Studies, all needed courses will be available through the internet with Southeast Online and/or in conjunction with on-site courses. Individuals can combine Web courses with off-campus offerings at any of the University's regional campuses and sites.
For other locations and information: contact: Ms. Joyce Becker, Director of Extended & Continuing Education, at (573) 986-6127; e-mail email@example.com.
The B.S. Degree in Technology Management is intended to prepare those with technical Associate of Applied Science Degrees interested in or already involved in technical fields and environments for supervisory and management positions in industry and manufacturing. Southeast's off-campus degree completion program started as a cooperative agreement with St. Louis Community College and the University of Missouri -- St. Louis, and has expanded to include other academic institutions.
For information: contact Mr. Brett Richardson, Southeast Program Coordinator, St. Louis Community College - Florissant Valley Campus, at (314) 513-4311; e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or http://www.semo.edu/polytech/academics/cooperative.htm.

The Middle School undergraduate program leads to certification for teaching in middle schools (grades 5-9). The program is designed to prepare competent professional teachers through structured field-based experiences. Concentrations in Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, and Language Arts are available.
The master's in secondary education is designed for practicing teachers who wish to enhance their understanding of the educational process and expand their skills in the operation of the successful learning environment. As well, graduate-level training in secondary education is useful to those seeking preparation in school administration. The curriculum combines professional education courses with graduate-level content area courses. Most professional education courses are offered off campus through on-site, ITV and Web instruction. Students normally take content area courses on campus.
The secondary education master's program is offered on a cohort model. All students in a given cohort begin, track through and complete the curriculum cycle as an entity. Admission after the beginning of a cohort cycle is not normally advised; however, interested individuals should contact the academic department to inquire about plans for future cohort groups.
Courses are offered in Malden and Kennett.
