Credit by Examination |
Undergraduate Students
You may earn credit by examination in two ways:
1. If you are a new or re-entering undergraduate student,
on the recommendation of the Board of Admissions you may be allowed
credit by examination for knowledge that you acquired since graduation
from high school, either by independent study or at another institution,
and for which you have not been allowed advanced standing credit. You
should apply to the Office of the Registrar for credit.
2. If you are a student in good standing and currently
registered in a regular session, you may qualify for course credit by
examination. You may apply for credit to the dean of your college or
school on the Petition for Credit by Examination, obtainable from the
Office of the Registrar.
You may apply for credit by examination in any course listed in the
current General Catalog that pertains to the regular sessions at Berkeley.
However, the subject in which you want to be examined should be one
in which, in the opinion of the instructor in charge or the department,
knowledge can be tested by examination. You must file a separate petition
for each course for a fee of $5 per course. In certain laboratory, field,
or practice courses, neither a written nor an oral examination may be
a satisfactory test. You may not receive credit by examination: (1) if
the credit would duplicate credit that you presented for admission to
the University, or (2) in elementary courses in your native language
if it is not English. The examination must cover the entire course and
be administered at one sitting of no longer than three hours. It may
be the regularly scheduled final examination for the class, provided
that the examination meets the foregoing criteria. The result of the
examination may be reported to the Office of the Registrar only as passed or satisfactory, according to the regulations governing the assignment
of these grades. Further information concerning credit by examination
may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
If you are a graduate student in residence, you may petition to receive
a limited amount of course credit toward your degree by passing examinations
on material covered in certain courses in lieu of taking those courses.
Laboratory courses, graduate seminar, and research courses are excluded.
You must be registered for at least 4 units of upper division and/or
graduate coursework at the time you take the examination and you must
be in good academic standing (3.0 GPA or better). The
final result of the examination will only be reported as satisfactory or unsatisfactory. You may obtain the petition from the Office of the
Registrar. Approval to take these examinations must be given by the
dean of the Graduate Division and by the course instructor, or, if no
instructor is designated, by the department chair. |

---- How to fire an employee
- 7:41 am on Oct 4, 2012
(gmt 0)
But if you make them mad, that gives them two weeks to storm out with an "I quit!" and then you're off the hook because they left before your notice ran out.
I'm not sure what you mean. Where do the two weeks come from?
But in any case you're not personally, out of your own pocket paying their unemployment.
I don't think that's true. I called the CA EDD about this a little while back. From what I remember, the way it works in CA is every employer has an EDD reserve account which they pay into every time they pay payroll taxes. When an unemployment claim is granted against you, the money comes out of your reserve account and you must replenish it. When the guy on the phone finished with his explanation, I said something like "so in a roundabout way, I end up paying the benefits" and he said yes.
(Uh... you have been paying into unemployment insurance haven't you? I though employers were required to. Like disability. Self-insurance is for huge companies with hundreds or thousands of workers.*)
Yes, it's part of payroll taxes in CA. It's on the same form.
Legal matters aside, if you hadn't picked up the poor performance before it got to this stage then you really do need to review your own management style.
Agreed. I need to be harder-nosed about this sort of thing I suppose. I think issuing written warnings will make a big difference.
When we've let people go, whether they've been on corrective action or not, we give two weeks pay and send them on their way (don't want someone in-house who knows the end is near).
Is the two weeks pay a requirement or do you do it to be nice?
3-6 months is a long time to wait for a small business, and they can still file (and you would have to contest their claim - sometimes a lengthy process.
Where does 3-6 months come from?
For us, the first claim was fine - the second one, however, was the painful one.
It sounds like you're dealing with an insurance company for unemployment insurance. In California it's built into payroll taxes so that's new to me.
Does the employee have a contract (written or implied)? If so, is the employer/employee relationship specified as at-will?
There is no contract, and employment is at-will as we're a US company.
I'm thinking I'll give him a written warning and require him to sign it. I won't let anything slide going forward, and if he racks up two more warnings (the third one specified as "final") he will be in last-straw territory. Then if I fire him and he claims unemployment, I will have documentation with which to dispute the claim. What do you guys think?
In the future, I'll be much quicker to use a written warning. How soon after hiring someone would you subject them to the possibility of a written warning?

Ssssh, She's Sleeping: The Girlfriend Pillow
I've seen girlfriend pillows before but nothing as sad and pathetic looking as this one. I mean, she doesn't even have a head. Or two arms. And why do her breasts look like two softballs? But on the upside, she is wearing a dishwashing glove so she probably knows her way around a kitchen. Plus she's only $10, making her one hell of a cheap date. Can I bring you breakfast in bed, my lovely? No? Just toss you in the washer with my socks? Okay cool.
Thanks to Stripping The Pistol and Maggie, who both made surrogate lovers out of wood. Just not little boys like that pederast Geppetto.
Tired of clutching a dog-eared copy of New Moon to your bosom to fall asleep at night? Well fear not, pathetic, because now you can buy $35 homemade Twilight character "manllows". For all the twilight [sic] crazed lonely women in the world, Jacob Black is finally here to be w... / Continue →

Emerge Stronger, Increase Market Share
There are ways to leverage the current condition and 2009 forecast for the US economy. One way is through advertising.
If you plan to be in business at the end of this current recession, advertise now. Be judicious about your budget but don't be left out. There are gains to be made on the other side of this downturn and those companies that position themself for gains will reap the benefits.
By continuing, or startng up, an advertising program during this economic climate, you will be sending a clear message to your customers and prospects that you are very serious about serving your markets in all kinds of conditions and will gain their business now and in the upturn.
Companies who stay in the game will have the distinct advantage over companies that pull back. When you advertise in downturns, you are telling your markets that you are not cutting back but increasing your efforts to serve your customers.
Emerge stronger, advertise now!

Think $1500 more!Apple-"Think Different"
Comments (Page 2)
Best buy sucks. Something about them and Kohls that piss me off in less than thirty seconds or thirty feet inside the door. |
$2,600(my MBP '08) I agree with the BestBuy issue you run into there. I personally like MicroCenter. I've had some good help from them, plus they seem to be a little more knowing and caring about your questions. Let alone cheaper. |
Why we hate Best Buy - aka, Testimonials - Updated 1/3/2009 Had a "WorstBuy" experience? Tell us about it and we'll post it here for all to read! See also: Archives, Hate Mail |
I had one of them models years ago. They were a durable. If i recall, i think it had a handle on it. |
Testimonial #1: Bill (site co-founder)
Here is my story, and why I started this site. http://goo.gl/6r5sW ========= I told the kid working behind the counter what had happened with my phone, and since I had been lied to when sold the plan, I wanted my money back. He said that all he could do was pro-rate the plan for the last six months worth of coverage, since it was insured during that time. I told him that was not acceptable, but after he went and talked to his supervisor, nothing changed. Then I conceded, and took the $51.66 they gave me of my original $59.99 purchase ad went home. This is when I started writing letters. The only one I ever got a response from was the one I sent to the Better Business Bureau, and even that took about 3 months to get. What they sent me was a form letter apologizing for pressuring me into buying the insurance policy. This really pissed me off since that wasnt what I was complaining about. My complaint was that I was lied to. I responded to their letter expressing these feelings, and they wrote back basically saying were sorry, but were not going to do anything about it. I then wrote them a much more colorful letter expressing my views of their company, and never heard back from that one. Still waiting. Since then, Ive been doing what I can to screw over their company, and you can read all about what I've been doing, and how to do it yourself in the "How to Screw them" section of this site. |
Testimonial #70: Former employee tells a few "crapped on" stories.
Hello, Dear I Hate Best Buy, Great site. Way to stand up to being crapped on! I was employed by BB for 2 years. I knew it was crap all along, but did my best to put up with it because a paycheck is a good thing.(albeit small...) I worked as a customer service rep and, when my conscience got the best of me, requested to be moved to cashier. I will, in future, tell you the sordid and ILLIGAL way in which I was shafted,( I just won in appeals, but I would feel better if their appellate rights run out before I post all that). In the meantime, here are some true stories from a somewhat RARE intelligent BestBuy employee. 1. In the state where i worked for BB, the law dictates that if an individual is required to wear a specific article of clothing or uniform (in this case, the embroidered blue BestBuy shirt) that the employer MUST provide it FREE OF CHARGE. Towards the end of my empoyment there, 45 newbies were hired. ALL were FORCED to shell out $45 bucks a pop, or decline employment. The average 19 year old single mom dosn't know this to be law, but you can bet your butt spineless jerks in human resources do!! 2. After suffering from an illness, i was sent home by my boss (operations manager) against my will ( she claimed that if I was to pass out, they could get sued, blah blah blah...) and then was informed that if i was intending on returning to work, i would need to submit to a medical exam at MY OWN EXPENSE!! Illegal in the following ways: a. In my state, an employer CANNOT force an employee to submit toANY FORM of physical exam if they were SENT HOME AGAINST THEIR WILL. b. In my state, any and all physical exams, medical visits, etc. required to gain or continue employment MUST BE PAID FOR BY THE EMPLOYER!! I took the day, went home any called the labor board to cover my butt. I then proceeded to the most expensive medical clinic in town and requested what my employer wanted, and that they be billed. When the officeworkers called them to verify payment, they again insisted thet payment was my responsibility. Until I told them everything the labor board had said. They then denied ever having sent me. All of this on speakerphone, to an entire clinic, much to the amusement of everyone there. 3. Customers were denied the right to purchase items unless a service plan (or "cheese") was puchased with it. Either "there is a limit on how many of there you can buy", or "we are out of stock", or my personal favorite "Can you find a way to make this credit card not go through?" (to which my answer was always NO there most certainly is NOT) This occoured on a fairly regular basis. 4. If an employee made what was deemed as "too much money" for their job, management would try to shake them down by making vast amounts of expensive merchandise "disappear", claim that they had "proof" that the employee was guilty of "grand theft", and then claim that if the employee submitted a resignation, no charges would be filed against them. When they tried this with me, I did't fall for the BS, and requested the police be called. They weren't but the threats ensued. I arrived early for my next day's shift, and when asked about the situation again, I insisted that the police be called (somehow, even though the supposed event occoured behind a cash register, no security camera angles caught it. Apparently, instead of angling cameras towards any registers, they were facing the exit door, as well as random walls throughout the building. hmmmmm....) My employer caught on that I wasn't gonna fall for this, and quickly tore up any paperwork having to do with the supposed mishap. These are all just the tip of the iceberg, and more true stories from a worker of CampConcentration will follow in due time. I often read through your site for moral support, and it is much appreciated. Thanks again for a great site!! FormerEmployee |
They then denied ever having sent me. All of this on speakerphone, to an entire clinic, much to the amusement of everyone there. IOW - LIARS!!! |
"Wah..." Since: May 10 9,296 Not in DC |
I wouldn't be so quick to smackdown Best Buy based on internet reviews. Yelp and a few other sites have the tendency of sheep following the loudest complainer and the problem could be just local, not the entire chain or brand.
The only reason I stated I didn't like their customer service is an old one. About 12-13 years ago, we bought a new TV from BB. It didn't work right after about 4-5 months, it would suddenly just turn off. This was before the new panel TVs, a tube TV. We had to took it to the Best Buy we purchased from, they promised to have it back in 5-7 days. Well day 9 arrived, they never called. We called, they profusely apologized and said 2-3 more days. This pattern kept happening, they ended up "fixing" the TV for about a month. Not a huge problem other than it was the main TV for the family--kids watched it in the family room, the large TV for movies, etc. We had to move a smaller TV into the family room for the kids for movie watching, friend entertainment, etc. Picked up the TV after about a month, re-installed, and a few weeks later the SAME problem occured. Repeated the cycle. I don't know if the problem were due to the specific brand OR Best Buy's customer service. Finally had the problem resolved after about 3-4 months of this nonsense (drop off, nag them to find out when it was ready for pick up, realize the problem wasn't resolved). BUT Best Buy does have an excellent sales staff (I do like their approach--they were very helpful when buying the laptop, provided lots of information to me). They have an excellent selection. And when it came time to prove they could deliver the PC on time (I used the Lancaster store for this purchase), they delivered--told me they'd have it configured, all OS/software/anti-virus installed within 24 hours, they did. I haven't really had reason to use Best Buy's customer service for this laptop--really, really a reliable machine. |
Glad to see you back. The Tv wasn't a JVC by chance? |
"Wah..." Since: May 10 9,296 Not in DC |
Thanks, I like to disappear from time to time. Some folks here are just plain stupid or nut trolls who wear asshats.(Regulars not!) No, it was a Sony. POS. But it was an older tube set bought I think in 1999 or 2000. Been trashed a long time ago. |
I had three JVC tv with that problem. I ended up opening the cases and putting a fan in them. |
I always liked Panasonic branded stuff. They were like Hondas. Durable, great quality and with stuff like telephones and portable radios, they sounded great. Plus they were always cheaper than Sony's. I still have an old tube 32" Quasar (Panasonic's off brand) I have in my office. I bought it when Incredible Universe went out of business for something like $175 and got Panasonic to fix it under warranty. I haven't tried any of their HDTV's though. I liked the picture too much on my Samsung. Far better than the picture on my brother's Panasonic. |
"Paper Or Plastic?" Since: Nov 11 4,233 Albakoikee |
Judged: 1 I have a JVC 32" CRT type that is at least 15 years old and never a minute's trouble with it. Now watch it crap out since I bragged about it. |
Judged: 1 I bragged to someone the other day about how they were good luck for me because they were chastising me for not being able to text. I found the Google Nexus 4 in the other thread because of them. Their phone crapped out the next day. |
"animis opibusque parati" Since: Oct 12 8,037 Location hidden |
Judged: 2 Quasar was an excellent product. Liked to watch it while eating Quisp. |
Quasar was generic, wasn't it? I remember having a VHS player(Quasar), that chewed home recorded movies up, but played only genuine copies. They were also big in home appliances too, weren't they? Anyhow, I think that was you, asking about what T.V. to get, About a year ago?? I have the same brand(Samsung 51''), which has been a great set..IMO. |
Quasar was actually Motorola, then Panasonic bought them out in the 1970's. During most of the 70's, 80's and 90's, their high end stuff was labeled Technics, their "Buick" brand was Panasonic and Quasar was their low end brand. There was no difference between my TV and the Panasonic they were selling at the time except it didn't have some features. Otherwise, it looked and sounded the same. |
Could be, I always like to get opinions from people. I actually copied off my brother and got the same set he had, except a newer model. Looks exactly the same, except his was the old model and weighed a ton. Mine was also cheaper. My Sammy is 58" ... watching football on it is great. It was worth every penny. |

Disappointing and sad on many levels but hopefully family matters work out. Considering the grueling schedule a college athlete keeps does 2.5 hours away from home really help? I could see if her new school was actually in her hometown but she'll probably spend just a little more time home then if she stayed at Florida. Our huge loss is someones huge gain. http://www.alligator.org/sports/basketball_-_women/article_ec17da6e-f029-11e2-b5e2-001a4bcf887a.html
There was very careless reporting done by The Alligator. They tried to do a hatchet job on Butler and the program. Moss was not denied a release to any schools, Div I or other, on her list other than UK. She could have went to Louisville, Ohio State, Cincinnati, West Virginia, etc. There were not "severe internal issues" that led to these transfers. McIntyre was dealing with a lot of emotional issues, understandably. Cooper was simply homesick, and Moss needed to be closer to her family. This happens all the time in women's hoops. Heilman should write a piece rectifying the previously erroneous reporting.
Don't know the details of Sydney's family issues, but Thomas More is all of 10 minutes from where she went to HS in N KY, so at the very least you'd have to imagine she'll have a strong support system there. Absolutely correct and it's not the first time they've done it to this program/staff. Maybe the better story and the question some legitimate media outlet should be asking is WHY?
Not to beat a dead horse, but here's a new article with some quotes from Moss on her transfer: http://nky.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20130827/SPT01/130827036 So, basically the Alligator's report was an out-and-out fabrication. Shocking, I know...

Hello, huge apologies if this has been answered, I have searched high and low and haven't come across this question.
I am relatively new the publishing suite, and I have a client inquiry about a specific feature. They would like to show ad content that allows a user to save a JPG to their iPad camera roll. There is no requirement for how they might be prompted to save the image, just that it be possible. Is this doable?

I haven't encountered a better pair of gloves that allows you to play with a smartphone without having to have naked fingers. These will keep your hands warm as long as the temperature is above 40 F. Its thermal functionality decreases close to none once the temperature is nearing or below 30 F. So, keep in mind that these are not for traveling in a snow wonderland. But, the gloves are pretty awesome for driving since the silicone surface provides very firm grip on the wheel!
I have had these gloves for about a year and do think they're pretty great... I can text and browse on my phone almost as easily as I if I were using my bare hands, they're just not very warm! In colder temperatures I would definitely prefer to have toasty fingers as opposed to being able to check my news feed, but maybe we have different priorities? I think these are great for the fall months and for use in the car, but definitely not as my primary set of winter gloves!
I bought these gloves for my daughter who always has her phone in hand! I wanted to make sure she could stay warm and still be able to use her phone; normally only one wins! These gloves are working out perfectly. They are a snug fit so they feel really comfortable and they're warm enough for her to wear outside in the cold Michigan weather. If she were going to go sledding, snowboarding these gloves would need an added layer. But just for normal everyday wear these are perfect! The grip in the palm area makes it easy to hold on to your phone and the Etip works great!
I originally got these to have for some cold mornings morning while camping in the fall. They are comfortable and warm enough, except when they get wet (rolling up a dew covered tent for example) but they would dry reasonably quickly. Though they didn't quite meet all my camping needs, they are my favorite gloves for around the city because they are comfortable and the Etip really works very well. Some other gloves with touch screen compatibility that I have had required me to push pretty hard to get the touch screen to respond or would have only a small patch that is never quite where you want it making it impossible to type in both cases. With these, the entire palm and finger is functional, I can use my phone and tablet exactly as though I wasn't wearing gloves. They also keep out the Western New York fall chill, especially from cold steering wheels.

Angry Birds Seasons has been updated to go along with Valentine's Day holiday. The update includes 15 new levels all dressed up in a nice Valentine's Day theme with additional achievements and a new icon.
Get ready for the most heartfelt episode in Angry Birds Seasons so far: the Valentine's Day edition! After the shenanigans of Halloween and Christmas, Angry Birds Seasons continue in the spirit of Love! As usual, Angry Birds gives the most generous updates of any app!
Grab the update now and let us know what you think in the comments!
[$.99 - Angry Birds Seasons for iPhone] [$.99 - Angry Birds Seasons HD]
Just an FYI, the apps are not free.
They're free on Android. I think here they are referring to the updates being free if you previously purchased Angry Birds Seasons. So far the levels seem pretty easy. My 3 year old has beaten the first 6 in an hour on my Nook Color.
Interesting. If you fail a level it now shows a button to the right of the retry button to "bing & decide". This launches you into Safari to do a "Bing" search for Angry Birds hints/tips. At that point it also asks if you want to change your default search engine to Bing as well. Not sure if it's everyone or just some.
Am I the only person who didn't get that game ??? Same as the "doodle" crap.
My iphone will not let me update the newest update i love angry birds its my favourite
Yeah this valentine there are so many apps there related to valentine day. I have also bought 2 yesterday ivalantine day and my valentine day which have excellent ecards.
I am going to race my 5 year old to see who can compete these levels first, he on his itouch (because he's 5 and doesn't know any better), me on my droid Incredible.

I have just started my first reading of this!

The Shining is one I could never get enough of...

I re-read Shining and just love it so far.
October 4th, 2012, 06:09 AM
Brilliant book, just love the way Jack Torrance degenerates and the general spookiness of the hotel. Must do a re-read :)
February 13th, 2013, 10:39 AM
Just started this book last night. There are many classic SK books that I haven't read yet, so it's time to get at them. Too many other writers and titles that occupied my time over the years, now that it's pretty much just Dean Koontz and SK these days, I'm making up ground.
February 19th, 2013, 11:06 AM
Halfway point. I grew up with the movie, which I thought was really, REALLY good, but now I'm seeing that much is missing and/or altered (necessary build-up of emotions, important elements of the back story). And I still picture the actors in my head when reading (kind of hard not too). Having seen/read interviews from SK about what he was going through personally when he wrote this book, it makes the anger and resentment of some of the characters seem that much richer.
February 24th, 2013, 05:58 PM
Just finished it. Wow. Very good.
Chapter 36 (The Elevator) was by far the creepiest part of the book. The suspense throughout the whole story was well built, cascaded well into the climax. I will admit there are parts of the movie that I like better than the book, but there's definitely better character development in the written work. Overall, I think the book would have shot my socks farther across the room if I hadn't seen the movie a million times beforehand. Book and movie are equal, for different reasons. Now bring on Doctor Sleep!
February 25th, 2013, 04:43 PM
As far as atmosphere goes, one can't do much better than this book. The creepiness of it alone makes it worth reading.

I'm getting the same problem too, however like johnbash612 I have only noticed this issue after doing the hardware update, although that kind of suggests that it is a software issue as we've seen from this forum I'm not entirely sure whether the software can take 100% of the blame but think it does take part in producing this issue. Also something I saw was that this maybe affected by the touch cover, however from my personal experience the touch cover does not affect this (apart from the muting issue which I don't think is related). Anyways I'm interested to see where else this situation goes, hopefully away with the next Tuesday cycle.
Yikes I thought I could handle this, and although I have gotten used to it, if the update tomorrow doesn't fix the issue I'm going to exchange my surface. I recently got into listening to radio stations, and it sucks to have the volume skyrocket into your earhole when wearing headphones, or totally ruins the experience when it goes silent. blah. I'm assuming no one has found a fix since they bought theirs?
You have a defective Surface, return it for a replacement.
My local Microsoft store (where I purchased the Surface) told me that the unit is defective and replaced it for me, even though it was past the return date.
I've been reading however, that Microsoft recently (around Feb 13 2013) released a patch that might fix this issue, so you may want to try that first. - 03-12-2013, 10:46 PM #33
So apparently the new update finally fixes this issue, can you guys that have had the issue confirm this to be true? I sent in my surface RT just this last Thursday, I knew I should have waited for the March update but I was getting ticked off and had enough of it, I mean it seems like a common issue and I gave them four chances of updates to fix it, but a fifth chance wouldn't have hurt. I guess I would take my old surface RT back at this point, but the brand new surface wouldn't be a bad break either :) Anyways, let me know if anyone is still having the issue or if its simply been fixed for you.
EDIT: I am talking about the most current (March) firmware update, not the February one, which did nothing for me. - 03-13-2013, 12:20 AM #34
I'll confirm that the latest surface update (March 12) does indeed fix this issue.
Thanked by: - 03-13-2013, 02:06 AM #35
I am also glad to report that this update finally fixed the issue for me. I have tried over and over and can no longer cause it to happen. With the previous update, it indeed still happened. Pretty happy about this one, I've gotta say. Also, I used to notice that sometimes after my Surface had been charging for a while, the wifi would be limited when I tried to use it. I have noticed that seems to have been fixed as well.
Thanked by: - 03-13-2013, 04:59 AM #36
Well, I just tried this well over 20 times but can't reproduce this behaviour.
I have installed the March 12 update yesterday, so maybe it was solved by that update but have to say that I also never noticed the mentioned behaviour before.Thanked by: - 03-13-2013, 02:10 PM #37
Glad to hear all of it is fixed. I want the RT to succeed but when we voted a solid chunk of us had the problem, which concerned me. I also had issues with the wifi connection coming and going. I think I still have the issue with my laptop after the update but it happened more often with the Surface so I'm glad that is fixed as well. I am getting a brand new surface shipped to me today so I can't complain, though I really miss having one for class. I lugged my laptop in to school today, what a hassle, it now has about 1 hour of battery life and weighs roughly 4 surfaces. Boo.

The Nikon COOLPIX S1200pj is the third generation Nikon COOLPIX compact digital camera that incorporates the groundbreaking built-in projector technology.
Like its predecessors, the S1100pj and S1000pj, the S1200pj can shoot still images and video, and project the photos and video for more fun and enjoyment.
Not only can you project the photos and video you shoot with the camera, but you can also connect the S1200pj to a Mac or PC and project content that's housed on the computer.
But this camera also features the unique ability of connecting to an iPhone®, iPad®, iPod® touch, iPod nano® or iPod® photo to project content from those devices as well! So now, you can share the content on most all of your devices by projecting it via the COOLPIX S1200pj for your friends and family to see and enjoy. Even stream web content from your iPhone® and project it using the COOLPIX S1200pj.
The COOLPIX S1200pj is a 14.1-megapixel digital camera offering a 40% brighter 20 lumen, internal projector and a 3-inch LCD. Other features include Nikon's EXPEED C2 image processing, a Throw Distance of 11-inches – 10-feet with an image size of up to 60-inches, 5x optical Zoom NIKKOR lens, four advanced VR features, special effects and more.The camera incorporates a built-in projector stand and can also be mounted on a tripod for ease in projecting photos or video.
And when you want to project content from your computer, you use the PC-PJ Transfer software, which is Mac and PC compatible, and connect the computer to S1200pj via USB. Want to project a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation—well you can do that too, just by converting the PPT slides into individual JPG files and projecting them.
Now there's no need to gather everyone around a computer monitor to view your digital images, videos or presentations—when you've got the COOLPIX S1200pj, all you need is a large surface to project onto.

At the end of the two weeks, there was a grand finale of sorts. On Friday, classes were shortened to make room for the last events.
The first of those was the annual Hurricane Heart Walk, headed by Coach Perry Estep. It attracted many students, who all made at least a $10 donation towards the American Heart Association.
At the end of the day, the students and faculty faced off in a basketball game. There was a good effort by everyone, but the STUDENTS/FACULTY emerged victorious.
Hurricane's "March Madness" was filled with fun, creativity and humble donations to awesome charities. Students were mixed on the idea of it, though.
Senior Emmalee Ellison said, "Well, it's for a good cause, but the way I see it is that it's just another homecoming week -- you know, with the dressing up and games. I don't mind it, but maybe it should be more original."
Meanwhile, junior Kari Barton said, "It's a good idea to raise money for charities, and why not have a spirit week in spring? Double the fun for one year!"
At the end of the day, the students and faculty faced off in a basketball
game. The faculty won, beating the students 23-19.
In the end, "March Madness" raised nearly $8,000 for charity, including $1,700 from the heart walk and the grade level totals. The freshman won with $1,700 raised, followed by the sophomores with $923, the seniors with $700 and the juniors with $666.

Preferences for e-mental health services amongst an online Australian sample?
This study explored whether differences exist between those who prefer using internet-based mental health services (e-preferers) in comparison to those who prefer traditional face-to-face mental health services (non e-preferers). Gender, age, level of education, relationship status, location of residence, country of birth, previous use of mental health services, specific e-mental health service concerns, perceptions of helpfulness and future use of mental health services were investigated. Two-hundred and eighteen Australians (female=165, male=53) with ages ranging from 18 to 80 (M=36.6, SD=14.5) accessed the online survey. Results indicated that although 77.1% of respondents preferred face-to-face services only 9.6% indicated they would not use e-mental health services. No differences were found between e-preferers and non e-preferers on any demographic variable and on previous mental health service usage, however, several differences regarding perceptions of helpfulness and future use of services and concerns about e-mental health services were observed. In addition, several individual difference variables (stigma, locus of control, learning styles and personality traits) were explored and found to differ between the two groups (stigma, locus of control and personality traits). These results may help inform the future direction of mental health services, including the need to increase public awareness regarding e-mental health services.

"Great smoke. (CAO Italia) If you are a mild-medium smoker and are looking to try a stronger yet smooth cigar, give this one a shot."
"A dang good smoke (CAO Italia). Lit one of these up last night and couldn't have asked for anything better. Nice easy draw, slow burn, and lots of smoke, another great cigar from CAO."
"As i happily smoke my way through the CAO sampler, next, CAO Italia, sweet, varying degrees of peppery spice, creamy....excellent burn and draw. I rate it a solid after dinner smoke at 88. ENJOY."
"For me the description of earthy, toastiness with a slight sweetness hits it on the head. A favorite with a subtle bite especially toward the nub. A real finger burner. Always consistent, great smoke!"
"I don't know who wrote that review about the CAO Italias and the World Cup, but you are 100% on the money! Im so happy they won, but more importantly that they beat the French, and even moreso that they beat the French in the way they did! FORZA ITALIA!!! Oh, and CAO Italias ain't a bad smoke ;^) Ciao"
"I've shared this smoke (CAO Italia) with a number of friends - everyone seems just as impressed with it as I am. A nice medium (plus?) strength experience ... just can't think of anything to suggest to make it better. And, just as nice, it doesn't leave one needing to shave the tongue in the morning :-)"
"Pasta, wine, Super Mario, and now CAO comes to mind when thinking of Italy. This is the second CAO I've smoked, and again, I find myself burning my fingertips to get every last puff from the thing - what if there's yet another flavor I'm about to miss out on?! It burns perfectly, draws smoothly, and makes a glass of Maker's Mark feel as milk must feel around an Oreo."
"Very difficult to describe the unique taste of this cigar (CAO Italia), very rich medium body with a hint of what I can only guess is a pleasant fruit of the vine type flavor and a great deal of thick grey smoke. Truly one of CAO's best and hats off to Carlos Torano as well. Sit back and enjoy this one because you won't want to get up to do anything else while you are partaking of this wonder-mous smoke. ciao."
"I bought the CAO Italia on special and couldn't wait to light one up. All I can say is wow! This cigar packs a whollop from the first puff to the last. Starts very spicy and full-bodied but mellows nicely. I smoked one right out of the package so the finish was a little leafy. While it needs a little time in the humidor, I can wait, because it will be well worth it when I have my next one. Highly recommended! Great price, delivered within a few days. Thanks CI!"
"Very nice cigar with an excellent draw, nice firm ash, very even burn and 'earthy' flavour. (CAO Italia)I smoked a couple of the Gondola torpedos and enjoyed them very much. Worth the price."
"One word: Earthy. CAO got the blend right with this one (CAO Italia). Definitely a different sort of cigar. The cigar is heavy and perfectly rolled, which is only a preview of good things to come. As I torch the foot, the earthiness hits me like a ton of bricks. The image that first went thru my mind was that of being in a triple canopy jungle. The next thought that went thru my head was that this is a darn good cigar. Just underneath the earthtones lies hints of cinnamon and toffee. A long and lingering finish completes this smoking experience. Different, but in a great way. Thanks CI!"
"This cigar (CAO Italia) really hits you in the face as soon as you light it up. I've read reviews of these cigars where they have been classified as "medium-full" but I think that's way off. This is one of the fullest-flavored cigars I've ever had. I think people often hesitate to label anything that isn't super-spicy as full bodied, which is very misleading. These things are flavor bombs, but in a toasty/earthy sort of way that I've never experienced in any other cigar."
"I just had the CAO Italia as my first new year cigar. This cigar deserved a higher than 91 rating. Amazing flavor...hints of sweetness and coffee notes but not too overpowering. Try a sweet beverage like cola to compliment this great cigar!"
"this cigar (cao italia) is truly a work of art. full bodied and smooth, a rich taste of chocolately goodness mixes well with a robust earthiness. great cigar, no doubt. solid 92. all i can say is "vive italia!""
"All I can say is WOW, CAO (Italia) is one of the most robust and has such a wide array of spice to it. It is full of character and enjoyable the entire way. Sit down, shut up, and plan to take some time to truly enjoy the earthiness of this cigar. One of the best, my closet humi has close to 80 of them in there now, and the more you keep em' the BETTER they get!!!"
"this was an exceptional cigar (CAO Italia), lets be honest though, has cao ever made a bad cigar, but this was totaly different from what im used to from cao. The overall flavor was bold and the fullest of body. Earthy to the max,loads of espresso flavor and woody truffel flavor [the kind the pigs dig up, not the chocolate ones.]even burn well made and an absolute delight, this is an underrated cigar, i would smoke this over the brazillia any day, though thats a good cigar too .this is my favorite so far."
"OK, I'm new to cigars, as soon as i got these home i had to try one (CAO Italia). This is also my first review and may seem overly descriptive but here goes. After removing the cellophane i noticed they were probably a little moist and needed some time in the humi, but i had to indulge. This cigar is probably my first decent cigar... Something to take off my training wheels. The pre-light aroma was unpleasant, like wet hay or maybe manure, this could have been due to the heavy moisture in them. However the draw after clipping had a pleasant taste, slightly nutty, leathery and earthy. After lighting i couldn't have been happier. The smoke was pleasantly strong with hints of chocolate, wood, and something i can't quite get my head around. I found myself half way through it chewing on the wrapper just enjoying the raw taste alone. The wet hay smell seemed to have disappeared leaving an intoxicating aroma. All in all i found this a great first "good" cigar and look forward to smoking another one after it has some time to adjust. If other "noob" smokers are reading this believe me, these will get you hooked if you already aren't."
"Had the Italia Ciao while listening to a cigar video blog from Jerry and Walt, it has a large ring gauge but it did not give off too much smoke or intensity. The cigar is very enjoyable. This is about the 8th Italia I've enjoyed over the last few years, and I always look forward to my next opportunity to experience the thick spicy smoke. It does have a hint of woodiness as the cigar progresses to half way. I would classify the flavor as full and noticeable, spiciness with a background of oak. A cigar to sit back and enjoy. As to strength, it seems to be in the medium-full range."
"The (CAO Italia) Box Pressed is my favorite cigar by CAO AND one of my favorite cigars overall. I've always had draw issues with the other sizes, but the box pressed usually does not disappoint. It has such a unique flavor. I want one right now!"
"My second favorite current smoke behind (Brazilia) is the (CAO Italia)! Excellent taste, just a very satisfing smoke."
"Little brother sent me cigar club for christmas. This month one of the cigars was a (CAO Italia Ciao). Awesome cigar. If you're a real cigar smoker you'll love this cigar. I went to order 5-pack and it was already backordered, so I was not the only guy who enjoyed it. CI nation needs a real deal on these Cigars."
""Molto Bono"!!!This is an outstanding smoke...The only drawback is that it ended,I smoked it to a nub...So I'm sure to stock my humi w/them!!"
"This cigar started off a little slow for me,the draw was tight, but once it opened open a got a good burn going it boomed with almost a dark choacolate and woody flavor. Good Cigar"
"I have never been much of a CAO fan, other than the Brazilia, I didn't care for the rest of the line. A friend informed me that if I liked the Brazilia, I should try the Italia. After some research on the CI fan mail, I ordered a sampler pack just to checkout what all the hoopla was about. Glad I did. I lit one up right out of the package and The Italia was packed nicely and burned smooth and even. The flavor was awesome throughout the smoke and never ended even down to the nub. They are a bit pricy buta s soon as I can, I am ordering more."
"This is one of those cigars with the "it"factor,(CAO Italia-Ciao size),like Camacho P.E.,Gurkha Centurian,etc.Finally got around to trying this blend and I wish I tried them much earlier!The draw is perfect with razor straight burn line and there's too many flavors to describe but there's a buttery,layered,toastines that's present the whole time that mingles with the other super premium flavors.The aroma-WOW-every time I puffed I had to just smile and close my eyes.Should I get a bigger humidor or "give out" a bunch of "least favorites"?Hmmmmm........Got to make room for a box or two of these.Well done CAO Italia viva CI Nation!"
"A really, really good strong smoke. Even though it is strong it is balanced. Be careful touching up the wrapper though. It is so full of oil that it will burst into flames if you are not careful, sort of like "pitch pine." Man this is a great cigar!"
"Being a fan of the CAO brand, I decided to try the Italia in Piccolo size. Fantastic smoke. It is a very spicy cigar, but the burn is good. The only two downsides were that towards the end, it gets a lot stronger and spicier; and the pack I bought had one plugged cigar. Seeing as that last one was probably a fluke, I highly recommend this one. 9/10"
"Nothing touches this cigar. Can't get much done while smoking one of these, because it steals my full attention every time, no matter what I'm doing. It's the only cigar out of hundreds I've sampled where I actually appreciate the lingering aftertaste, and it lasts for a good day and a half. So spicy, so full of flavor. Thank you CAO!"
"Great bold cigar. Buy this here because I recently picked one up in a smoke shop for a whopping $13!!!! Whew! This is a tasty smacker! I wish CI would list which were box pressed in the description, I am unsure which is but I remember some are.... This is my favorite from the CAO line."
"Loved it! Got two of these as part of a CAO sampler. Everything was right about this cigar, the look, the smell, the feel. Great taste and thick clouds of gray smoke. I don't know how cigars are rated, but this one deserves every one of the 91 points it received. A friend tells me he likes the Brazilia more. I can't imagine how it can be better, but we shall see. I'll definitely be ordering more of these."
"Though i wouldn't call this a full cigar (it's more of a medium-full) it was very flavor full and deserves the rating of 91. I was a little unhappy with the first 1/4" of the cigar seeing that it was bland and uneventful. The being said, the rest of the cigar was fantastic!! I smoked it till it burned my fingers. It was a full of earthy heavy flavor with thick smoke. I would buy a box again any day!"
"Quite a bit more assertive than the gold series, but still very smooth. As always, a quality offering from CAO with leathery and almost herbal-like notes which played nicely with some strong coffee on a Sunday morning."
"I'm Not a huge fan of "Full" Cigars. BUT THIS WAS a LOVELY smoke. My wife and daughter both commented on the nice aroma also. It burned brilliant and quite long. I bought a sampler pack so will have to go down the rest of the CAO brands to see what I like. "
"Call me crazy "crazy" but this cigar was the worst in the cao lineup...and this is 1 of my top 3 brands (Oliva and Punch)..burnt taste.no notes to speak of...it burnt well but that's about it..I'll trade my leftovers for a concert or lx2"
"Just bought a box from my pals here at CI. I like box pressed cigars. These are well made. A lot of other inferior box pressed cigars are not comparable. You gotta know what your doing and CAO does."

Fill gaps in perennial beds. When spring-blooming perennials such as bleeding heart and Oriental poppy go dormant in summer, cut off their yellowed foliage and fill in gaps with annual flowers. When digging the annuals' planting holes, be careful not to disturb adjacent perennials' roots.
Replace cool-season annuals. Clarkia, Iceland poppy, lobelia, and stock can't stand intense summer heat. When they start looking ragged, pull them out and replant beds and containers with heat-loving annuals such as gazania, globe amaranth, Madagascar periwinkle, marigold, petunia, portulaca, sunflower, and zinnia.
Set out irises. Bearded irises can withstand long periods without irrigation, especially when they are dormant in mid- to late summer. Arilbred types and hybrids of Iris pallida are generally more drought- and weather-tolerant than tall bearded types. Two good Colorado sources for bearded irises are Iris Colorado (303/791-0456) in Littleton and Long's Gardens (866/442-2353) in Boulder.
Control spider mites. These tiny red or green pests suck the sap from a variety of ornamental and edible plants, resulting in stippled leaves or distorted flowers. Their numbers increase when conditions are hot and dry. Plants watered by drip irrigation are particularly vulnerable. To prevent infestation, occasionally wash off foliage with a strong jet of water. To control severe infestations, apply lightweight summer oil such as Ultra-Fine (available at garden centers), sulfur dust, or an insecticidal soap labeled for mite control. Be sure to treat the tops and the undersides of the leaves.
Divide irises, poppies. For bearded irises, divide overcrowded clumps six weeks after bloom. Dig up rhizomes (thick horizontal roots), cut them into pieces 3 to 4 inches long, and trim leaf fans back to 6 inches. Let them dry in the shade for a few days, then replant 1 foot apart in amended soil. For Oriental poppies, dig up clumps after tops die down. Separate intertwined roots and replant.
Feed strawberries. After you harvest June-bearing strawberries, apply 2 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 100 square feet.
Spray anti-transpirant. To help reduce moisture loss during drought, spray the foliage of valuable evergreens, perennials, and shrubs with an anti- transpirant such as Wilt-Pruf, a clear, pine oil-based product available at garden centers.
Watch for tomato hornworms. These 3- to 4-inch-long caterpillars can decimate a tomato plant in a few days. They're easier to spot in the morning when feeding at the tips of stems. Handpick big ones, and spray plants with Bacillus thuringiensis to kill smaller ones.
Water trees. When rain doesn't fall for several weeks, trees need water. Use a soaker hose to irrigate the entire area within the tree's drip line, which parallels the perimeter of the canopy. Apply enough water to moisten the soil to a depth of 1 foot. To check soil moisture, dig down with a trowel or spade, or use a tube sampler.

Welcome to
U.S. News and World Report named Loyola University Maryland number three among regional universities in the North in its 2011 "America's Best Colleges" survey. Loyola has ranked among the Top 10 institutions in its category for more than a decade.
Loyola was also included in three additional categories: "Up-and-Comers," "Great Schools at Great Prices," and "A+ Schools for B Students."
"Up-and-Comers" recognizes institutions whose peers have cited them for making the most promising and innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus, or facilities. In this category, Loyola ranked fifth among Northern regional universities.
"I am delighted to see Loyola rank so highly among a list of truly exceptional institutions," said Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J., president of Loyola. "I am also very pleased to see the ambitious initiatives we've pursued in recent years recognized by our peers. We are always striving to enhance our students' experience at Loyola—in the classroom, through service to their communities, in the unique learning opportunities we provide through internships and international study, and through our athletics programs. It is gratifying to see this commitment recognized by fellow educators."
"Great Schools at Great Prices," in which Loyola ranked 12th in the North region, considers the net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of need-based financial aid. Only schools ranked in or near the top half of their categories are included because the survey assumes that the most significant values occur at schools that are above average academically.
"A+ Schools for B Students" recognizes institutions where good students who may not consider themselves academic "stars" have a strong chance of being admitted and thriving. The schools included in this list were not ranked numerically.
Loyola also ranked number 10 in terms percentage of students who study abroad, and its finance and accounting programs came in 21st and 24th, respectively, in the magazine's rankings of undergraduate business specialty programs. The University's four-year graduation rate, 77 percent, was among the top 100 in the nation.
The recognition in U.S. News follows Loyola's inclusion in the Princeton Review's Best 373 Colleges guide. In addition, the Princeton Review ranked Loyola's residence halls third in the country, its athletic facilities 10th, and its study abroad program 18th.
Additional information about this year's rankings is available at www.usnews.com. Survey highlights will be published in the September 2010 print issue of the magazine, on newsstands Aug. 31.
