DERRY — Rockingham Music School welcomes two new percussion instructors to its teaching staff in Derry.
John Medeiros Jr. and Jeff Samataro are now offering lessons at the school, 37 Crystal Ave.
The studio is now accepting new students for percussion, guitar, piano and voice instruction. The studio recently expanded its services to offering piano and vocal instruction along with professional studio and performance work. New students are accepted on a first-come first-serve basis based on availability.
"Many school programs such as jazz band are looking for students that are taking private lessons," said Daniel Lofthouse, Rockingham Music School owner. "We can provide the rudiments and skill sets to help these students stay competitive for school and state competitions. Studies show that students who participate in music programs also have improved scholastic skills in areas like critical thinking, mathematics as well as increased creativity and problem-solving.
Medeiros is a professional musician and instructorand is an affiliate of American cymbal manufacturer, Zildjian.
Even with playing an average of 220 gigs a year and numerous recording sessions, Medeiros still shares his 20 years of teaching experience with younger musicians.
Samataro has a long career of working with outstanding percussion professionals. A New Hampshire native and Berklee College of Music graduate, he studied with many percussion professionals.
He has taught all over New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and has also offered music tutoring programs to underprivileged children in Jamaica.
"Music has affected my life in such a positive way, I want to pass that positivity and love onto the next generation of young percussionists," he said.
Rockingham Music School has been a part of the Derry small business community for seven years, providing a wide range of music education including, weekly lessons, instrument purchases, and opportunities for students to collaborate.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Motions that were to be argued this week in the state's pending case against Amigone Funeral Home have been postponed until 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Erie County Court.
The appearance in front of Erie County Court Judge Henry Nowak is the first step in the state attorney general's case against the company, located on Sheridan Drive in the Town of Tonawanda.
The suit, which cites alleged violations of specific environmental laws for the first time, was announced in early October after more than 20 years of residents' complaints concerning odors, soot and noise from the company's crematory at the site.
The suit seeks to permanently prevent Amigone from reopening the crematory, and also seeks monetary penalties against the company for repeated violations of pollution regulations.
Amigone violated air quality limits, crematory ash was found on a nearby residential property and noise caused a nuisance for nearby property owners, the suit alleges
Documents submitted by the attorney general thus far include a memorandum of law, which details alleged crimes the company committed — including the violation of state opacity and nuisance laws. The memorandum also cites a letter sent to residents Aug. 23 that indicated the company was planning on reopening the crematory.
Exhibits include photographs of black smoke coming from the crematory, located adjacent to a residential neighborhood. The attorney general's office has also submitted affidavits from town board members and residents in the area.
Those who live nearby the property said that soot has covered their windowsills and outdoor furniture for decades. The smell from the operation has also prevented them from enjoying their backyards or opening their windows, they said.
Amigone's defense attorney Robert Knoer has not returned calls to comment on the case.
The crematory has been closed since July 2012, when the owners signed an agreement with the attorney general's office to halt operations for six months. At the time the agreement was signed, Schneiderman said he reserved the right to file a suit if Amigone resumed the crematory's use without hiring an expert to correct the problems.
After unsuccessfully attempting to move the crematory to another location, the Amigone family "recently signaled its intention to restart operations," the statement from the attorney general's office said.
"Although Amigone has taken public steps to recommence operations at its current site, it has provided no information regarding retaining an expert or developing engineering plans to eliminate the crematory's objectionable and illegal emissions," the statement reads.

Bothell, WA High School football refs could be benched for using pink whistles to help raise awareness about Breast Cancer. But The Washington Association of Officials says the refs knowingly broke the rules, which don't allow colored devices. As a result, the refs will likely be benched, and could even lose a paycheck.
Do you think the refs should be penalized for using pink whistles?

LONDON (AP) — This was no Dream Team. This was reality.
The gold medal was in doubt for the U.S. men's basketball team.
The Americans led Spain by only one point after three quarters, a back-and-forth, impossible-to-turn-away-from game that almost anyone would hope for in an Olympic final.
Especially, it turns out, the U.S. players.
"We knew it wasn't going to be easy. We didn't want it easy," LeBron James said. "A lot of teams have won gold easy. We didn't want it that way. We're a competitive team, and we love when it gets tight. That's when our will and determination kind of shows. It was the same way in '08."
Same result, too.
The Americans defended their title Sunday by fighting off another huge challenge from Spain, pulling away in the final minutes for a 107-100 victory and their second straight Olympic championship.
And just like 2008, the star-studded Americans had to work for this one.
The London 2012 daily magazine proclaimed them "the new Dream Team" in an article, but the real Dream Team never had a game like this 20 years ago in Barcelona. And if that means this group isn't worthy of the comparisons to Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Co., the players had their own response.
"Everybody wants to make that comparison, but at the end of the day we're both wearing these," forward Kevin Love said, pulling on his gold medal. "That's pretty good."
James capped one of basketball's most brilliant individual years with a monster dunk and a huge 3-pointer in the final 2:50 that finally ended a Spanish threat few expected after the Americans had been so dominant for so long in London.
Yet four years after beating Spain 118-107 in a classic in Beijing, the U.S. found itself in another tight one, unable to ever really slow the Spanish down until the closing minutes.
Kevin Durant scored 30 points and James had 19 on a day he joined Jordan as the only players to win the NBA title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and Olympic gold in the same year.
"It was a good year. It was a great year for me as an individual," James said. "But this right here, it means more than myself, it means more than my name on my back. It means everything to the name on the front. I'm happy that I was able to contribute to this great team. It's one of the best teams ever."
Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who has said he's retiring as national team coach after restoring the Americans to their place atop world basketball, emptied his bench in the final minute
James stood with both arms in the air, then held Durant in a long hug before they came off the court.
The Americans, who insisted they were better than their 2008 version and even good enough to take a game from the 1992 Dream Team, may not have been at that level.
Still, they were better again than Spain — though not by much.
When the final horn sounded, Krzyzewski locked James in a tight embrace as Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA" rocked the arena.
The Americans hugged at midcourt, guard James Harden holding a doll of the Olympic mascot, and then after being handed flags, this group of NBA players — and one kid just out of college — who grew into a tight-knit group during their time together, paraded around the floor, the Stars and Stripes flowing off their backs like capes.View Entire Story

Hungry Bear in Grand Teton Put Down
By Elsa Partan
Grand Teton National Park, WY – A female black bear was euthanized in Grand Teton National Park after repeatedly stealing food from campers. Spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs says the bear's increasingly aggressive behavior means it could not be relocated and had to be put down on Monday. She says the bear recently grabbed a bag of cereal off a picnic table where campers were making breakfast. Skaggs says, just a few days ago, the bear flattened two tents in the Colter Bay campground: "Two girls had kept food inside their tent, then went to brush their teeth and left the food unattended. The bear was there in quick order and tore up the tent in its efforts to get the food out of the tent."
Skaggs says the bear had previously found garbage at the Colter Bay campground. Skaggs says the killing of this bear emphasizes that campers need to follow food and garbage rules in bear country.

Accessing your mobile phone with KDE
Composing text messages on a mobile phone isn't easy. A handy application called KmobileTools helps you manage your SMS messages and calls.
If you are someone who does not use a mobile phone to send short messages because it is too much trouble to type messages with the phones' miniature keypad, take a look at KMobileTools, a KDE program that dials your phone, organizes short messages, accepts incoming calls, and even shows you the battery status. Setting Up Your Phone
When you first launch KMobileTools, a welcome screen tells you that you need to set up the program for your phone. After clicking on OK, don't worry about the error message that appears, telling you that your phone has failed to initialized. You need to confirm the two warnings before you actually get to see the KMobileTools Setup window.

I'm curious how everyone else that hung their tv above the fireplace handled the cabling. I've hung mine avoe my fireplace and have had holes in my walls for months to pull the cables through, but not sure I have all the cables I should consider having (hdmi, cable box, so on and so forth). Plus I need to wait to purchase a cabinet to store all the equipment and see the height to determine where the hole in the wall should be for the cables to come through. Anyone have any opinions on this? Also, I am not familiar if there are any products that help make the cabling look nicer coming out of the walls. I'm not a "home theater" person and trying to figure this stuff out is confusing.

Kjonesy, I think your post is going to make me cry. I just bought a condo conversion and didn't due my due diligence. I figured if worse came to worse I would get a European washer/dryer in one for the kitchen...but I don't really want that. My CC&R's say I can have a washer/dryer (there are no existing hook up's)...but of course that has nothing to do with LA code I suppose (I'm in Mar Vista area). I would love to know what you've learned through all of this.

The PlayStation 4 may have sold more than 1 million units in its first day alone, but not all of them are happy customers. Many consoles have experienced what's being called the "Blue Light of Death," a situation where the PS4 doesn't output any signal to the TV while its power indicator displays pulsating blue light. All PS4 consoles display the blue light when the PS4 turns on, but it eventually transitions to white when the system is fully functional. Consoles afflicted with the Blue Light of Death never get past the blue light, turning the system into a $400 paperweight. A troubleshooting guide on The PS4 forums says it could be issues relating to the system's power supply and hard drive, as well as incompatibility issues with certain televisions. "We appreciate your patience while we investigate," wrote the post's author, a Sony employee.

Oxford Dictionaries' word of the year for 2013 definitely captures a snapshot of our social-media-obsessed moment. That's right -- it's "selfie." In case you don't know what a selfie is, Oxford Dictionaries defines it as: (n.) a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website. It's not a new word -- its origins date to 2002, according to Reuters -- but that doesn't matter. "The Word of the Year need not have been coined within the past 12 months and it does not have to be a word that will stick around for a good length of time," Judy Pearsall, editorial director for Oxford Dictionaries, tells Reuters. According to Oxford's editors, use of the word has gone up a staggering 17,000% since 2012. During that same time, use of the selfie has probably gone up at least that much among celebrities. In the past few months alone, arm's-length photos of Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Aniston, Nick Jonas and Chris Pratt have all gone viral. And a British poll in July rated Rihanna the world's best when it comes to taking the self-aimed shot.
If there was ever a movie that didn't need a sequel, Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life is it. That isn't stopping a pair of producers from making one, though. According to Variety, the movie is called It's A Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story and will feature Karolyn Grimes, the actress who actually played the classic role of George Bailey's (Jimmy Stewart) daughter "Zuzu" in the original film. Grimes will play an angel who shows George Bailey's grandson, an unlikeable guy, how much better off the world would have been had he never been born. The film's producers plan on releasing it in theaters during the 2015 holiday season

The course will enable you to understand the underlying causes of informal occupation of land and slum formation, to acquire knowledge and skills to develop upgrading strategies to improve slums, and to formulate policies that create options to prevent new slum formation.
The course is intensive in nature and innovative, demanding a proactive attitude from participants. They are engaged in a number of specially designed learning environments that comprise lectures, practical exercises, case study analysis, role-playing games, video films discussions and controversial policy debates. The course draws from lessons learned through international experience and stimulates creative thinking as participants are exposed to contexts from a wide variety of countries.
Who is it for?
This course is designed specifically for those involved with land and housing policies, and those facing the challenges of providing shelter for the poor in cities in developing countries and countries in transition. This course responds to the UN Millennium Development Goal 7 Target 11, which advocates improved living conditions for 100 million slum dwellers up to the year 2020.
Diploma issued jointly by IHS and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
Existing informal settlements need to be regularised and upgraded but their growth urgently needs to be decompressed, therefore an adequate land management scheme is called for.
This should create tools and strategies that enhance and scale up the supply of adequate serviced land that is accessible for all, particularly to the poor. Land management is the basis for creating a viable alternative to households that have little choice but to resort to slums. Because housing cannot be dissociated from land a sound housing policy needs to begin with a sound preventive land policy.
* Module 1 Module 1 explains why land plays a key role in the development of cities, why it has become central to the formation of slums and how it impacts the production of settlements as a whole. It brings the economic perspective into informal land occupation, including understanding the impact of markets, and has a strong focus on policy evaluation, criteria for selection and development. The module provides not only with understanding but also helps improve skills in policy making.
* Module 2 Module 2 explains why property rights are central to land, why there is a wide variety of tenure systems, and how this interacts with the way the poor have access to shelter. It brings the legal dimension into land management and offers an in depth discussion regarding alternative land rights paradigms. This module enhances the ability to handle legal frameworks related to informal settlements, regularisation programmes, and development of new instruments.
* Module 3 Module 3 explains what are the alternative institutional and programme management aspects, what are the opportunities that should be considered and what is the role of the non-governmental organisations (NGOs), community-based organisations (CBOs), the private sector, governmental and knowledge-based institutions and funding agencies. The module emphasises on the implementation aspects of remedial as well as preventative programmes.
* Module 4 Module 4 enhances the discussion of specific case studies. Although reference to them is made throughout the course, participants are given the opportunity to present their experience, discuss it and apply knowledge learned during the course. It includes site visits to Dutch cases to get practical evidence on how poverty and dilapidated neighbourhoods are dealt with in The Netherlands.
Lecturers from IHS; UN HABITAT and fellows of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, Cambridge, USA
In order to participate in this short course (LMISR) you should:
* Have at least a Bachelor degree from a recognised University or similar institute.
* If you did not complete a Bachelors degree in English you must show certificates with relevant test results (such as TOEFL min. 575/TOEFL computer-based min. 232/ TOEFL internet based 90, IELTS min.6.5 (no IELTS subtest <5.5).
* Have at least three years of work or academic experience relevant for the course.

We had Sir Elton, Sir Macca... but where was SIR MICK?
Yeah, I wondered that myself!? Saw the Mickster on "Saturday Night Live" a few weeks ago, though, hosting and appearing in most of the skits, and he was absolutely hilarious!! His delivery was great, and he was clearly enjoying himself. Who knew he could be so, well, charming? I sure didn't. I've always liked the Stones musically, but not personally, until Keith Richards played Captain Jack Sparrow's dear old scalliwag daddio in the 4th "Pirates" movie. I decided ole "Keef" was all right, after all. And now this! I actually like Mick Jagger, after all these years! Who'd 'a' thunk it? Scary for days, innit? ;-)
Actually missed the show. Want to know more about Keef...Read the his memoirs...My Life
It's Great Fun
Sir Mick and The Stones were asked several times during the planning stages, but refused. Rumour has it that Sir Mick would have exceeded his 90 day allowance in the UK.
(He pays no UK tax.)
Whether Her Majesty would have appreciated "Let's spend the night together" remains to be seen!
And where was GFR?
I'm willing to spend less than 90 days a year in the UK if I could stop paying taxes. How do you get a gig like that?
Seriously, I didn't watch the show. Sorry, Laurie, but neither Sir Paul nor Sir Elton nor Sir Tom (he's a Sir too - does the Queen give those things out to everybody???) does anything for me.
Hey, why not a Sir Eric or Sir Rod, by the way?
Hasn't Clapton been knighted YET? Huh, somehow I thought he had been. Don't know about a Sir Rod, but I guess it makes about as much sense as Sir Tom. And-- why be "sorry" to me about him and Sir Elton, Toni? Reread my original post, O Great Co-Queen. ;-) I'm not championing them... I criticized BOTH their performances for bad song choices! Elton's voice was long past its best, besides. Jones fared a bit better in that direction...he used to have such a robust voice, at least, that I guess there's just more of it left. I never liked the macho attitude, but more recently, he did a quite decently gritty bluesy album, which I happened to hear a promo of and actually bought. I didn't even recognize it as him at first! He sounded more black than Welsh. But I've just never cared at all for Elton John. I don't connect with his songs in the least. Even the "catchy" ones feel empty. I do feel very nostalgic about Sir Paul, as you know. As a fan of gorgeous melodies, and no slouch of a tunesmith myself, I've been told, I honor him as the greatest melodist in popular music since Gershwin, whom I revere for the brilliant "Rhapsody in Blue", "Concerto in F", and "An American in Paris". HOWEVER, there are things I don't really like about the Big Mac, to be honest, and certainly his melodic glory days are behind him! I'm very, very glad he and the Beatles existed, though, I have to say. I can't imagine the world without them. Beatlemania was lots of fun while it lasted!! :-)
Beatles always sucked..biggest POP band ever...so overrated..
No, they were great. Their music still rules!
LOL! Uh-huh. Overrated. Sure. "Eleanor Rigby" and "You Can't Do That", just "pop" songs. NOT. For brilliantly exciting melodies, distinctive singing voices, and sheer charisma, they couldn't be beat, the Beatles. However, to each his or her own, for sure. Are you one of those people who disdains music with melodies? ;-)
While my guitar gently weeps..
I guess if you're a Beatle you can be conceited and you have to admit Sir Paul's melodic approach to bass playing revolutionized the instrument. He should hang with Neil more often.
Yes, Jeremy, I believe I shall read the "Keef" memoirs... I love bios and autobios, and he probably has some great stories to tell. Real life is oft stranger-- and more fun-- than fiction!
I seem to recall Alvin played this at a memorial concert for George... :-(
Ha, Tony, I think whether Her Majesty would appreciate "Let's Spend the Night Together" will most likely ALWAYS remain to be seen! By the likes of us, anyway. ;-)
Hmm... I think it would be kinda hard to be PMcC and *not* be conceited, all things considered. Oh well. He's entitled to his place in musical history, at least. Woke up (or should I say GOT woken up, by Mr. Meowmeister, my black cat Lucky, adorably wanting b'fast at 5am) with Sir Elton's "This is Your Song", or "Your Song", or whatever the official title is, going through my head. OK, I admit, it's the exception to my not liking any of his songs. Sir Elton's, I mean, not Mr. Lucky's. ;-)
Oh I didn't watch the pagentry.
But I did catch some clips of the event.
I especially liked the floating yellow school buses on The Thames River.
Hahaha!! :-) Whatever DID become of our tragical hystery tour, anyway?? Did I miss notice of an extended postponement?? Last I knew, the tour was coming up on a certain weekend, and a few of us were huddled in the bus stop shelter singing "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"! ;-)
Laurie, read Ron Wood memoirs too quite some fun. On Amazon you can get it used for 3 miserable cents!!!
(Wonder how the book looks like then!)
OK, Jeremy, I'll keep that in mind too. :-) The ridiculously low price probably just means they have quite a lot of used copies, which aren't necessarily in bad shape at all. (I used to work in bookstores in my lost wild youth.) ;-)
Hi, Glenn! :-) I recorded the Mick SNL show too, and plan to watch it again also. Mick as a nerd (albeit with a huge twinkle in his eye) in several sketches was indeed too hysterical. I especially enjoyed him as a shy, prissy, whiny-voiced wallflower out clubbing with friends, as he sat and watched several others get up and do comical send-ups of his real-life trademark stage moves to a Stones song. Tee hee. How'd he keep from cracking up? Just barely, I'm sure, but he has a natural actor's ability to cover and continue. Another stand-out was the soap opera sketch spoofing Valley Californians and their accents and supposed blase' affectations, in which Mick and several others, including black cast member Kenan Whoozit (Thompson?), all appeared as spacy blonds. Giggle. After years of thinking I didn't like him (outside of enjoying Stones songs), I really got a kick outta Mick's joie de vivre and obviously genuine big smile. I think he's gotta be clean and sober-- he looks too healthy for the alternative. He's still skinny as a stick and jumps around when he sings like he always did. Now THAT'S the way to push 70, if he's not there or beyond already!! Good show, Sir Mick!! :-)

For innkeepers, hospitality comes from the heart, not the bottom...
The Red Chair visits New England inns and B&Bs
Where travelers once held photos of Flat Stanley in unusual places, New England innkeeper photographers are now shooting photos of a humble red chair. Long considered simply a place to rest one's buttocks, the lowly wooden chair has been elevated to celebrity status, and is being welcomed at inns and B&B throughout New England. One thing is for sure. The Red Chair has really figured out the better way to stay, and it comes with doilies and without doilies! In fact, as it moves from inn to inn, the Red Chair's stardom grows, to the point that it now attracts a crowd anxious to have a photo with the superstar and paparazzi have begun to follow it. One thing is for sure.
To date "Red" has been to the top of Maine's Cadillac Mountain and New Hampshire's Mount Washington. It's seen the beach and the cliff walk of Newport, RI, the rocky coast of Midcoast Maine and numerous gardens, parks and caves in New Hampshire. Over the next three months, it will make its way to the Connecticut shoreline, Vermont's Green Mountains and Northeast Kingdom and many stops throughout New Hampshire. From there it will travel to the Berkshires of Massachusetts, then into Boston and finish up on North of Boston then in Massachusetts southern towns. At each stop, the Red Chair will visit another inn or B&B where it will be photographed amidst the beauty of the building and its surroundings.
"This is as much an artistic expression of the beauty surrounding inns and B&Bs in New England as it is a message of B&B hospitality," said Beth Colt, owner of the Red Chair and initiator of its journey. "The Red Chair has developed a personality as it provides the ideal journey for the armchair traveler throughout New England, and spreading the word about the better way to stay" said Colt enthusiastically.
A little history
Throughout sping 2012, the Red Chair developed a personality of its own being photographed by innkeepers in communities from one end of Cape Cod to the otherfrom beaches to bandstands. Yet it really started last winter with a single image. Woods Hole Inn innkeeper Beth Colt posted a picture on Facebook of her simple red chair perched on the ice behind her house and watched her page light up with "likes". The picture was shared on the Facebook page of Julie Ann Cromer, a photographer from Santa Barbara, CA, who was inspired by the image to visit the Woods Hole Inn. Julie's visit resulted in a beautiful photo of the chair on Nobska Beach now hanging at the Woods Hole Inn. Colt blogged about the chair and soon interested fans were asking for more. This inspired Colt to share the chair with other innkeepers, sending it on a journey through towns and villages throughout Cape Cod last spring. As innkeepers all over the Cape were inspired by the chair it has taken on a personality of its own, and now as it travels to each New England state, its celebrity status grows!
For a compilation of the stories from each of the Red Chair's visits, stay updated at www.redchairtravels.com. Hover your mouse over the photos for a description.

Each and every Boardwalk GMO who was there for this new benchmark in the company's history was more than happy to be a part of the biggest and fastest growing direct selling company in the country and they showed exactly how glad each of them were through a series of videos that starred members of the Boardwalk family.
Boardwalk's revered President, Boss Bernardo Madera, took the stage to welcome everyone and prepare them towards a new day and age as the company sets its attention towards 2020. From humble beginnings, Boardwalk became the direct selling giant that it is today and the Boardwalk President made sure everybody in attendance will know that the company hasn't even started flexing its muscles yet. One thing we do know is the fact that the future is bright for the no.1 brand in fashion & lifestyle.
To prepare the Boardwalk family for the coming years ahead and push them to be the best that they can be in helping Boardwalk become the household name in the industry, one of the best motivational speakers in the country today, Dr. Carl Balita, was invited to share with the rest of the employees what they need to do to stay on top, moving forward towards the future.
The BW Family also took the opportunity to introduce its newest member, the lovely Ms. Rhian Ramos, and with one of the biggest and brightest names in the industry joining Boardwalk's stable of stars Filipinos look up to, the future of the company couldn't be any brighter as we forge ahead towards Boardwalk 2020 with stylish shoes, fashionable clothes, and affordable apparel.

Courses & Credits
The Honors College at Kent State University encourages students to carefully consider how they will earn Honors credits.
In order to meet the academic requirements of the Honors College and retain the benefits of membership, students must make satisfactory progress toward earning Honors credits. Membership in the Honors College also requires satisfactory progress toward accumulating Honors credits. Honors credits may be earned in the following ways:
Honors Courses
Honors courses are offered from across individual departments at Kent State University and are taught by the faculty in those departments. Just what makes a course "Honors" depends on the content and the faculty member's approach to a topic, but all Honors courses are intended to provide extensive student-faculty interaction and engagement among top students. Honors classes are designated in the following ways:
- Departmental courses designated as Honors sections in the University Schedule of Classes.
- Honors colloquia and seminars designated with an HONR prefix in the University Schedule of Classes.
Individualized Learning Experiences
Class Project Agreements
Earn Honors credit in association with a regular course by going "above and beyond" the designated requirements of the course. The extra requirements are to be negotiated with the professor no later than the end of the first week of classes.
Individual Honors Work
Individual Honors Work (HONR 20096/30096/40096) provides students an opportunity to complete independent study (1-4 credit hours) under the direction of an instructor. The goal of this project is to provide students with an enriched educational experience in the major or other field of interest not typically covered in the standard curriculum.
Individual Investigations
The Honors College will count graded individual investigations in academic departments as Honors credits.
Senior Honors Portfolio
The Senior Portfolio is a graded one- credit-hour project which involves the collection of 8-10 artifacts from a student's undergraduate career accompanied by a reflective paper that explains how each artifact contributed to the student's intellectual and/or personal growth.
Senior Honors Thesis/Project
Under the guidance of a faculty advisor, students develop an individualized research, creative, or applied project tailored to their unique interests. Students who complete the Senior Honors Thesis/Project may graduate with Honors.
Experiential Experiences
Study Away & Study Abroad
Students who participate in an approved study away experience will receive three credit hours of Honors credit.

Tributes paid to 'longest serving' British prisoner of war, Alfie Fripp
9:50am Friday 4th January 2013 in News By Arron Hendy
SECOND World War veteran Alfie Fripp – who spent almost all the conflict in a prison camp – has died aged 98.
Alfie was believed to be the oldest and one of the longest serving prisoners of war and was detained at the Stalag Luft III camp where his comrades' escape attempts inspired the film The Great Escape.
The Southbourne resident was photographing the movements of the German military from a Mk1 Blenheim plane when it was shot down and he was taken prisoner with the words "For you the war is over."
The war was only three weeks old and he was kept prisoner for the rest of it. Alfie was held at 12 different PoW camps during his five years and seven months' captivity.
Stalag Luft III became the scene of two daring escapes, later immortalised in hit films The Wooden Horse and The Great Escape.
Alfie used his job of picking up parcels from the railway station to procure items to help with escape efforts. He was transferred to another camp six months before the Great Escape when 76 of his allied comrades made it out of the tunnel in March 1944.
All but three were recaptured and Hitler ordered 50 of them to be shot, including Alfie's pilot and friend, Mike Casey.
Alfie was originally from Wimborne and ran the science laboratory at Brockenhurst College after leaving the RAF.
He and his late wife Vera had two daughters, Sue Dorrell and Anne Gibbs, and he became a grandfather and great-grandfather.
He died in Bournemouth hospital yesterday surrounded by family following an ear infection, heart attack and treatment for water on the lungs.
Anne praised the "wonderful" nurses at the hospital and said her dad was still in high spirits the day before he died. She said: "He will be very sadly missed.
"What a great man he was, always smiling and always positive."

The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Five things to know about what's going on at Daytona International Speedway in advance of the season-opening Daytona 500 on Sunday:
Crashing cars: A seven-car accident in the first full practice of the Daytona 500 sent workers scrambling to repair a section of the grandstand fence and left teams hustling to get backup cars ready. The session ended early after rookie Parker Kligerman's airborne car damaged the fence. Kligerman's car ended up sliding on its roof halfway down the front-stretch at Daytona International Speedway.
No one was injured, but the incident stirred memories of last year's last-lap crash in the Nationwide Series season opener. In that one, Kyle Larson's car destroyed a large section of the fence, sent debris into the stands and injured nearly 30 people. The stands were virtually empty during practice Wednesday. Joey Logano and Matt Kenseth started the melee when they got together coming out of turn 4 during a drafting session. Trevor Bayne, Paul Menard, Ryan Truex and Dave Blaney also were involved. All but Kenseth were forced to backup cars.
Confusing qualifying: No one really has Daytona 500 qualifying figured out. It's confusing, cryptic and often chaotic to say the least. But this much everyone knows: the higher you finish in Thursday night's dual qualifying races, the better your chances of making "The Great American Race." With 49 drivers vying for 43 starting spots in the season opener, there will be plenty of disappointment following the prime-time event. Maybe the easiest way to look at it is to understand who has the toughest task. Michael McDowell, Cole Whitt, Dave Blaney and Morgan Shepherd must race their way into one of the 15 automatic spots from the qualifying race because they are so low in qualifying speed and owner points. "I think everyone struggles to perfectly understand how you get in this race, especially for the first time," said Parker Kligerman, one of eight rookies vying for the 500.
Busch reacts: Taxicab boys? Puppies? Real race cars? IndyCar president of competition Derrick Walker used all of those phrases Tuesday while talking about NASCAR regular Kurt Busch possibly driving in the Indianapolis 500 this summer. Busch got a chance to react Wednesday, saying "the real cars are over in Europe and they've got F1 tagged to them." Busch's car owner, Gene Haas, is looking to potentially enter the Formula One Series. Walker created a stir at IndyCar media day in nearby Orlando when asked about helping Busch make the transition. "We have to help those little taxicab boys come out and race real cars." Walker was joking, but he didn't stop there. "We'll take those little puppies anytime they want to come up (to Indy). Probably give them a thrill. They might not want to go back. (They'd say), 'Oh, this is what a real car feels like."' Busch reiterated Wednesday that he still wants to drive in the Indy 500 and is working out the details of landing a ride, but he has no plans to make a full-time switch. "It's just not an option. I'm a NASCAR guy, that's what my blood is, it's what flows every day."
Deja vu: Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano might want to avoid each other on the racetrack the rest of the week. Kenseth and Logano were involved in their second wreck in five days Wednesday, the second one coming while drafting in a huge pack during Daytona 500 practice. They also got together in the exhibition Sprint Unlimited on Saturday night. "They're two separate things," said Logano.

Jenna Goudreau, Forbes Staff
I write about business and women's leadership.
Sexism in the American workforce doesn't look like it once did. Mad Men era bosses–in tailored suits and mild inebriation, chasing secretaries around their desks–are no longer prime suspects. No, discrimination has become much more subtle. It's in the over 97% of male chief executives running the country's largest companies. It's in the promotion nods for him over her. It's in your wallet.
In Pictures: The 10 Most Sexist Jobs In The U.S.
The gender wage gap persists almost five decades after the Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963. There are just a handful of jobs in which women earn slightly more than men (counselors, food preparers), compared to hundreds of occupations in which they make less. On average, women earn about 80% as much as men. In some jobs, they earn just over half as much as male peers, stunting their lifetime earnings by millions.
In Pictures: Jobs Where Women Earn More Than Men
"Statistically we control for a variety of factors like experience, education, occupation and industry," says Francine Blau, a professor of labor economics at Cornell University. "Those factors can explain some of the gap, but there is about 10% that can't be explained and could be due to discrimination. My personal feeling is that discrimination has declined significantly but still exists."
ForbesWoman analyzed the median weekly pay of full-time workers by sex and occupation in 2010, collected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, to pinpoint the jobs with the largest gaps in men and women's earnings. The result: What we consider the 10 most sexist jobs in America.
Personal finance advisors come in at No. 1. Women in this position earn a median of $962 per week, compared to men's median of $1,647. Women are one-third of all personal finance advisors but earn just 58 cents on the dollar. Over a 35-year career, this discrepancy will cost women $1.25 million in lost earnings.
Blau says the severe disparity may be explained by a greater concentration of men at larger, more aggressive firms with high-value portfolios. Of course, why fewer women work at the big firms is less clear. There may also be some existing gender bias ingrained in the product: financial advice. "Does the customer stereotype that the woman doesn't know as much?" she asks. "And does the employer not want to take that chance?"
In Pictures: The 10 Most Sexist Jobs In The U.S.
In fact, quite a few sales positions surfaced at the top. Female securities, commodities and financial services sales agents (No. 2) earn $531 less than male agents each week, or about 63% as much. That will result in lifetime losses of $966,000. Similarly, women in retail sales (No. 3) earn 65 cents for every dollar earned by male peers, despite being 42% of retail employees. Women are also the majority of insurance sales agents (No. 7) but receive weekly paychecks that are $324 lighter.
Are women less convincing salespeople? "Every piece of data we have suggests that there is not a significant performance gap [between men and women]," says Matt Wallaert, lead scientist at compensation website GetRaised.
"There Are 2 Kinds Of Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics". While it may be true that women earn less than men, it doesnt mean that discrimination or sexism is the cause. As Jenna points out, it may be because of the inate differences between the sexes given the chosen career. Maybe its taking time out of a career to have a baby which women often do that men dont. Whatever the reason, victimization aint it.
Agree 100% – figure out your true market value; prepare for and ask for a raise and don't take "no" for an answer.
Fascinating iformation, Jenna. I've heard lots about the gender wage gap, but very little about this kind of specificity!
It makes sense that jobs in the financial industry have large wage gaps. This is still an industry largely dominated by males, though the number of females working in these types of positions is catching up slowly.
Financial advisory pay is commission driven. The broker's sex has little or nothing to do with it.
As someone who used to deal with a lot of institutional salesmen, I actually thought my female brokers worked harder than their male counterparts and as a result the women got more of my business. The men tended to better in the wining and dining area.
Back in the days when I worked for others, I noticed that women did most of the work and received smaller paychecks. I couldn't explain the disparity then and I still can't?
I sold real estate for ten years. I never met a salaried agent the entire time. It was a straight commission gig. To my knowledge insurance agents, stock brokers, financial planners (a stock broker and/or insurance agent with a plaque on the wall) all work on straight commission or a mostly-bonus pay structure. Truck drivers get paid on miles driven/deliveries completed. If women aren't making the money in those jobs they've only got themselves to blame.
In many of the careers mentioned, they are not salaried careers, and in anything commission-based, it is hard to call the employer sexist because one worker aligns to metrics better than another. Your analysis does not go deep enough. To show that these jobs are sexist, you would need to show that the pay-scale for women of the same experience, seniority, etc. is worse than that for men.
Furthermore, even in more salary-driven arenas, what if the men are just more aggressive in salary negotiations? I was recently "promoted" from a job that was salary + overtime to one that was straight salary. My overtime was about 20% of my revenue, and they were not planning on giving me any actual raise along with this promotion. I didn't take that sitting down, and kept at it until I was given a raise that I thought was fair.
I didn't do this when I was first hired- I took the first offer I was given. That was stupid- I probably could have gotten another 10% if I had only pushed harder. I wonder how much this sort of thing leads to perceived sexism.

If you ever want to really learn a subject, try teaching it. I never knew how much I didn't know about my own native language until I became an English teacher in Japan, and it was a great experience for me. You become aware of so many aspects of your own language when you teach it. I also paid attention to the rules that govern English pronunciation. For example, North American speakers of English usually stress the second syllable of a three syllable word -- my son's name (Kazuki) is usually pronounced ka-ZOO-ki by English speakers, rather than with a slight stress on the first syllable. This "American accept" of Japanese sounds cute and pleasing to the Japanese however, and sometimes they go out of their way to use it -- TV commercials for the Konami game company here always end with an American saying the name of the company as "ko-NAH-me."
It's always interesting to compare the U.S. and Japan. In Japan, American-style breakfast cereal is slowly taking root, as Kellogg's Japan and Calbee battle for market share with their Corn Frosty and Choco Crispy products. (I never buy Kellogg's cereal here, it's way too expensive.) When I was growing up, I loved to find the little toys that came in cereal, but here, manufacturers haven't taken that approach. Instead of breakfast cereals, Japanese children can get their fix of silly toys from the monthly kids magazines that are so popular here, like Tomodachi and Tanoshii Yochien, which are magazines for kids which are also filled with fun things, from punch-out cardboard robots to Pokemon stickers or cards, little cardboard sushi so the girls can play "mother," and more. The competition among the magazines is fierce, though, and these magazines are always trying to come up with cooler things for the kids than their competitors.
Calling all big and little guys and girls! J-List has made a name for itself with funny and bizarre T-shirts with Japanese messages like "Hen na gaijin" (I'm a straight foreigner) and "watashi wa H" (I'm H). We're closing out our current T-shirts to make room for new designs, and we're just about there -- however, several of our shirts have sold out of sizes L and XL, leaving a few mediums and several size XXL shirts in stock. To help you help us get rid of these shirts, we've reduced the prices on them even more. Several of the shirts still come with free shipping, too, so they're really cheap. Check out the Wacky Japanese T-shirts page, now!
For this evening's update, we've got some more excellent items for you, including the following:
- First, we've got some great new magazines, including the charming new Video Boy and Best Video, which feature all the latest lovely AV idols from Japan, and Aishite Ageru ("I'll love you"), a popular sperm-fetish magazine
- We have some more of our popular "one shot" magazines, single issues posted at low prices. See them on near the top of magazine page 2
- For photobook lovers, we've got some nice items, including Kawai Azusa's busty photobook and several new hardcover items. We've also gotten in fresh stock of some items that had sold out recently, so check out the photobooks page
- We have another update to our manga pages, both Page 1 and Page 2 -- check out the all-new manga volumes we've posted (we think you'll like them)
- Also for manga and doujinshi fans, we've got fresh stock of the very cool Denno Buto Musume (Electronic Fighting Daughter), a series of super "game girl" hentai dojinshi stories compiled into a nifty anthology manga
- For dojinshi collectors, we've got a great selection of some cool single-issue dojinshi. However, since the automatic shopping cart is not working right now, the books might be sold already despite their appearing on the page as available. If the doujinshi you want to buy isn't available, we apologize in advance
- We have two excellent new DVDs in from Soft on Demand. In "Hitomi Ryo Best Selection," enjoy the best moments of this stylish AV idol's AV career. In "An Ideal Day of the Married Woman," see the unfaithful sexual acts of two Tokyo "hitozuma" (married women)
- Also very nice -- Kanazawa Bunko's Lovely Heroine, reissued on DVD at a lower price by Uchu Kikaku
- In the first Blue Sexual Desire series video, acclaimed AV director TOHJIRO got tired of filming Morishita Kurumi's sex and decided to taste her himself. Now, in volley two, he's going after the innocent Nagase Ai, in a self-directed adult video featuring himself as both cameraman and AV actor
- For fans of Japan's lovely swimsuit idols, we've got a new region-free DVD featuring the charming and lovely Ue Sayaka as she is filmed in bikini, sexy costumes, and even boxing gloves
- If you're a fan of Japan's zany professional wrestling characters, we've got a treat -- two very cool toys based on the Great Muta, a popular Japanese wrestler who "transforms" from his "normal self" into a supernatural being
- As noted above, we've reduced the prices on our remaining Funny Japanese T-shirts
- If you're a Pokemon fan, we've got exactly one copy of the 2001 desktop calendar in stock, discounted, on the anime and toys page
- Ever needed to write something in Japanese? Check out the katakana stickers on the stickers & signs page, wacky but also very useful
- Just in time for summer, a product that we at J-List love very much: Japanese mugi tea, a barley tea that is the runaway favorite of Japanese during the unbearable summer months. Now you can enjoy healthy mugi tea all the time, with the cold water tea bags we've got on the Japanese snacks and food page
- We've gotten in fresh stock of several of our unique flavors of Japanese gum
- Finally, our new Wacky Things from Japan include a bizarre new keychain/camera strap/key holder that's a zipper (yes, a zipper) -- zip it around your wrist to keep from losing your keys. Also, new katakana story books (for anyone trying to learn to write Japanese), and more!
There's been some kind of weird change in how credit card processing for the UK works, and the result has been some confusing address verification errors with UK buyers. We apologize in advance for any confusion, and will work to push your orders through with as little hassle as possible.

The circumstances surrounding Allen Craig's World Series hitting make his performance amazing.
The second-year manager's handling of pitching substitutions has hurt the Cardinals this World Series.
Given Boston's plate approach and Kelly's tendencies, the Cardinals' starter will need to get ahead early.
In the postseason, Joe Kelly has revealed himself to be what his strikeout and walk rates indicated he was during the regular season.
The two pennant-winners take very different approaches at the plate, which will make the World Series all the more intriguing.
